Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Taking a relativist ontological perspective involves critiquing what features of research: (2)
Respuesta
  • Reliability: for ignoring individual differences and contextual differences

  • Reality independent from human knowledge as observations reflect reality, 1 true reality is out there to be discovered

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Define epistemology:
