16In which of the following research methods and empirico-inductive paradigm is employed?
(A) Ethnographic Probe
(B) Case study method
(C) Ex post facto method
(D) Narrative method
(E) Experimental method
Select your answer from the options given below:
  • Option : C
  • Explanation : An ex post facto research design is a method in which groups with qualities that already exist are compared on some dependent variable. It is considered quasi- experimental because the subjects are not randomly assigned - they are grouped based on a particular characteristic or trait. It is empirical as it is verifiable by observation/experience rather than theory. It is inductive as it collects data, analyzes patterns in the data, and then theorizes from the data. This is evident from its very name, which means 'after the fact'.
