Maxwell Exercise 3.2 Creating a Model of the Development of Friendship Patterns
Reflection: This exercise was a reflection exercise that provides direction and examples of how a researcher should look for alternative models that can together provide a more accurate model. The most important issue is for researchers to look at many possible ways to gather data in order to analyze what is going on with the phenomena and seeking different models that can add to each other. Furthermore it was shown in this case that there are many possible ways that data can be gathered that will challenge the model chosen and provide the results to explain or predict the things the researcher have developed in his/her model.
