Features of Science

• If hypothesis testing leads to results that don’t support the hypothesis, researchers need to adjust their hypothesis
• The first key feature of science is hypothesis testing, which mean we use the scientific method to test the hypothesis.
• For evidence to count as empirical, it must be collected through direct observations
• Falsifiability, which means that it must be possible to prove a hypothesis false.
• Replicability is repeating the same study to re-test hypothesis
• A control group is the level of IV where the researcher doesn't manipulate the IV
