Operationalism
 
  a. is a hindrance in scientific research because it limits researchers ability to define constructs in multiple ways.

  c. is necessary so that researchers will be clear about defining the terms of their studies.
  d. is not necessary because recent advances in technology make collection of
   behavioral data much more precise.

Question 2

Discuss explicit and tacit knowledge. What do the terms mean to the social researcher?

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Explicit knowledge is what is seen and directly known. Tacit knowledge is what remains unseen or unstated. Explicit knowledge can be learned through books, facts, objects, etc. Tacit knowledge includes the unspoken cultural norms - it requires making inferences, going beyond what someone explicitly does or says to what she means or
implies.
