When doing a predictive study, students might ask a question such as:
A) how might our play outside on the school playground change if the city puts a public park next to it?
B) what beliefs are leading city planners to decide to put a public park next to the school playground?
C) how do people's attitudes about public parks result in the city planners choosing to put the public park next to the school playground?
D) how much are the other city parks used?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Predictive studies focus on forecasting future events or behaviors based on current or past data. Choice A is predictive because it asks about how a future change (the city putting a public park next to the school playground) might alter current behavior (play outside on the school playground). Choices B and C are more about understanding motivations and attitudes, and D is about current usage, not predictive analysis.
