Question 1

Which of the following is not a strategy for Causal/Propositional integration&#10;A)Sequential&#10;B)Horizontal&#10;C)Spatial&#10;D)Theoretical

Accepted Answer

Theoretical is not a strategy for Causal/Propositional integration, which typically involves organizing information in a logical sequence (Sequential), across different elements (Horizontal), or in relation to space (Spatial).

Question 2

________ refers to combining truth claims from disciplinary theoretical explanations to form an integrated theory.&#10;A)Theoretical integration&#10;B)Propositional integration&#10;C)Insight integration&#10;D)Variable integration

Accepted Answer

B

Question 3

What strategy for achieving causal integration focuses on the legal,political,and cultural dimensions within,and between metropolitan areas?&#10;A)Multicausal&#10;B)Analytical&#10;C)Cross-level&#10;D)Spatial

Accepted Answer

B

Question 4

_____________ make a truth claim and generally involve an argument about how one or more variables affect one or more others.&#10;A)Concepts&#10;B)Conflicts&#10;C)Theoretical propositions&#10;D)Disciplinary insights

Accepted Answer

Theoretical propositions make a truth claim by proposing a relationship between variables and involving an argument about how one or more variables affect one or more others. Concepts refer to abstract ideas or categories while conflicts refer to disagreements or oppositions. Disciplinary insights provide knowledge or understanding within a specific field.

Question 5

Which of the following should be an outcome when modifying concepts or assumptions to construct a more comprehensive understanding?&#10;A)Inclusion of other relevant concepts or assumptions&#10;B)Exclusion of other relevant concepts or assumptions&#10;C)The identification of conflict&#10;D)The identification of disciplinary insights

Accepted Answer

Modifying concepts or assumptions to construct a more comprehensive understanding should involve the inclusion of other relevant concepts or assumptions to ensure a more holistic view.

Question 6

________________ is the integration of insight to produce a new and more complete and perhaps nuanced understanding.&#10;A)Identification of conflict&#10;B)Creating common ground&#10;C)Identifying relevant disciplines&#10;D)A more comprehensive understanding

Accepted Answer

Integration of insight leads to a more comprehensive understanding, as it combines multiple perspectives and information to create a complete and nuanced understanding of a topic. Options A, B, and C are important steps in the process of integration of insight, but they do not necessarily result in a more complete understanding on their own.

Question 7

Where people live and how their geographical locations affects opportunity,shapes perception,influences political views and values,would be an example of what strategy to achieve causal integration?&#10;A)Spatial&#10;B)Horizontal&#10;C)Cross-level&#10;D)Analytical

Accepted Answer

This scenario involves analyzing the spatial distribution of individuals and how it impacts various aspects of their lives. Therefore, the spatial strategy is the best choice to achieve causal integration.

Question 8

__________ involves linking relevant theories end-to-end to form a causal chain.&#10;A)Horizontal integration&#10;B)Cross-level integration&#10;C)Sequential integration&#10;D)Spatial integration

Accepted Answer

Sequential integration involves linking theories in a causal chain, where the output of one theory becomes the input for the next theory. This type of integration is often used in studies that aim to explain complex phenomena or processes. The other options (horizontal integration, cross-level integration, and spatial integration) do not necessarily involve linking theories in a causal chain.

Question 9

_________ examine the underlying cause for any particular situation or argument and analyze what causes a trend,an event,or a certain outcome.&#10;A)Causal arguments&#10;B)Model arguments&#10;C)Variable arguments&#10;D)Theoretical arguments

Accepted Answer

Causal arguments examine the underlying cause of a situation or argument and try to analyze what causes a trend or event. The other options do not specifically refer to analyzing the cause and effect relationship in a situation or argument.

Question 10

The idea that children cared for in day care facilities,as opposed to their own homes,develop social awareness that serves them well upon entering public schools,would be an example of?&#10;A)Variables&#10;B)A theoretical proposition&#10;C)A theoretical model&#10;D)Conflicts

Accepted Answer

The idea presented in the statement is a theoretical proposition, as it is an assumption or hypothesis about how a particular phenomenon works (in this case, the effect of day care on social awareness in young children). Variables refer to the factors or characteristics that can vary or change in a given study, while a theoretical model is a more comprehensive framework or explanation that incorporates multiple theoretical propositions and variables. Conflicts are not relevant to the statement.
