Suzy was working on her doctoral dissertation and in her social psychology class, she learned that social facilitation, or the presence of others, influences performance. based on this information she hypothesized that a person would run faster when running in a group of people than when running alone.
in forming this hypothesis, suzy used what type of reasoning process?

a. naturalism
b. social rationalism
c. deduction
d. induction

c. Deduction                                    

Explanation:

Deduction: In psychology, the term deduction is defined as a reasoning phenomenon from one or more than one general statement which is referred to as premises to get a logical conclusion. It could be possible that the conclusion is considered as false irrespective of the fact that all the given premises are being true.

Deduction carries two different statements as well as it uses logic to get a conclusion based on the given statements.

Example: Syllogism.

In the question above, Suzy used the deductive reasoning process in forming the hypothesis.

i disagree that there is little difference between adult female development and adult male development. sociological studies comparing female and male pathways to adulthood, revelead that there are sustancial differences between them. particularly, female and male differ from timing of marriage, when they began to live with children and the likelihood of combining wife/husband and parent roles.

is there multiple choice or do you need like an essay answer?
