Empirical Research and its Components
Empirical research refers to a method of acquiring knowledge through direct or indirect
observation and experimentation. This type of research is based on measurable
evidence and relies on data gathered from experiments or observations. The aim is to
generate conclusions that are objective, verifiable, and applicable to real-world
scenarios. The term "empirical" originates from the Greek word "empeirikos," meaning
"experienced." In empirical research, data is collected systematically and then analyzed
to understand patterns or relationships.
Components of Empirical Research
1. Research Question or Hypothesis
o Definition: The research process starts with a clear question or
hypothesis. This is a statement or query that guides the investigation. It
typically focuses on a specific phenomenon, problem, or relationship
between variables.
o Example: "Does regular exercise improve cognitive function in older
adults?" or "What is the effect of social media usage on teenagers' self-
esteem?"
