Question

Although the idiographic approach to studying personality might give a very rich and detailed accounting of a person’s life, the findings are often based on post-hoc explanations of events that have already occurred. This makes the findings difficult to contest. This is a problem for which principle of critical thinking? a. falsifiability b. Occam’s Razor c. correlation vs. causation d. ruling out rival hypotheses

Answer 1

A. Falsifiability.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statement, hypothesis, or theory is falsifiable if it can be demonstrated to be false by observation. More technically, it is falsifiable if it is contradicted by a basic statement, which, in an eventual successful or failed falsification, must respectively correspond to a true or hypothetical observation.
