- Option : D
- Explanation : Positivism is a philosophical system recognizing only that which can be scientifically verified or which is capable of logical or mathematical proof, and therefore rejecting metaphysics and theism. Phenomenalism is at the heart of positivism as it accepts that physical objects can be known through their appearance as perceived phenomena. Positivist studies usually adopt deductive approach, though, sometimes may use inductive approach, too. Interpretivism is not associated, rather contrasted, with Positivism. Positivists believe society shapes the individual, whereas intepretivists believe individuals shape society. The former use quantitative methods, while the latter, qualitative methods. Positivist research is value-free; and researcher is objective and independent of the data. Interpretivist research is value bound; and the researcher is subjective being part of the subject under research.
