D-Description 2. P- Prediction 3. C-Control description level of science- systematic observation that can be quantified and classified- not casual explanations- ex.# of praise statements made by teachers in a classroom control (causation)- functional relation- HIGHEST LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING -Experimental demonstration that manipulating one event (ind. variable) results in another event (dep. variable). prediction (correlation/covariation)- two events may regularly occur at the same time. Does not necessarily mean one CAUSES another 6 attitudes of science (philosophical assumptions of behavior) DEER PP 1. D-Determinism 2. E-Empiricism 3. E-Experimentation 4. R-Replication
