Question 11 / 1 ptsWhat is inductive reasoning? the means by which we test evidence using logic and mathematics the means by which we use ideological assumptions to create policy the means by which we go from studying a case to generating a hypothesis the means by which we test evidence using extensive field research the means by which we go from a hypothesis to studying a number of casesQuestion 21 / 1 ptsWhich of the following is true of the work of most comparativists?They try to choose countries with radically different political systems in order to maximize variability in cases.They exhibit bias toward regions with rapidly expanding influence in the world, like east Asia.When they expand study outside of a single country, they tend to limit their focus to a single geographic region. They tend to limit their focus to a single level of economic development.They seek to study countries for which the least amount of established research has been accomplished.Question 31 / 1 ptsA major criticism of comparative politics at the turn of the twentieth century was that it: was too broad in geographic scope. was too quantitative. was too focused on postrevolutionary states. focused too strongly on religious explanations. was descriptive rather than explanatory.Question 41 / 1 ptsRecent discussions of the future of comparative politics and political science have called for: a greater use of social media to promote findings.a greater distance between scholarship and real-world politics in order to remain objective.a greater connection to real-world concerns and contribution to the ideals of civic life. making comparative politics a field of history rather than of political science. a greater focus on the relationship between politics and environmental change.Question 51 / 1 ptsIn case study research, one problem that can emerge is the choosing of only cases that match the expected results of the research question, or what is known as: selection bias. norm bounding. area studies. inference liability. choice limiting.Question 61 / 1 ptsA true comparative approach to politics only emerges with the work of: Machiavelli. Hobbes. Montesquieu. Rousseau. Marx.Question 71 / 1 ptsPolitics is defined in the text as the: struggle in any group for the power to make decisions for the larger group. ability to impose your values on others. battle over economic resources and their use. relationship between international actors. result of conflict between cultures.Question 80 / 1 ptsWhich of the following statements about game theory is accurate? Its primary political actor of focus is the institution.It considers cultural factors to be a major determinant of human political choices. It assumes rational, predictable behavior by individual human beings. It is most closely associated with qualitative methods of research. It demonstrates a bias against western political thought.Question 91 / 1 ptsThe shift in comparative politics away from political institutions (such as legislatures and constitutions) and toward individual political behavior is known as the: statistical turn. analytical revolt. mathematical revolution. causal transformation. behavioral revolution.Question 101 / 1 ptsModernization theory can be defined as the view that: as societies develop, they will become capitalist democracies. significant change is possible only through revolution. the only way to modernize is to apply scientific methods to policy problems. few countries will ever modernize and embrace democracy.each country and region will modernize in a different way, each with a different result.Question 111 / 1 ptsWhich of the following would be an example of selection bias?studying causes for the emergence of democracy by looking only at case studies where democracy emerged studying female literacy to see if it is correlated with nondemocratic regimes studying revolution by looking at case studies of revolution and nonrevolution only studying material that is consistent with your political ideology only using statistical methods to conduct researchQuestion 120 / 1 ptsA greater focus on collective equality is associated with: political violence. political parties. greater government control of private economic assets. a smaller state. civic responsibility.Question 130 / 1 ptsWhich of the following served as a major modern turning point for the study of comparative politics? the Great Depression the growth of European countries as colonial powers the birth of the United Nations the American Civil War World War IQuestion 140 / 1 ptsIn which of the following ways did behavioralism differ from modernization theory? It demonstrated a more narrow geographic range of interest. It put less of an emphasis on empirical research. It put greater emphasis on the evolution of political institutions. It was more of a method than a general hypothesis. It was more in touch with real-world concerns than theory.Question 150 / 1 ptsWhich of the following statements about the current institutional approach to comparative politics is accurate? It rejects the value of individual political behavior in shaping politics.It has adopted the basic tenets of modernization theory and supported them empirically. It merges the core characteristics of modernization theory and behavioralism.It shares an emphasis on the importance of institutions with pre-1950s comparative politics research. It differs from behavioralism in its rejection of cause-and-effect relationships.Question 161 / 1 ptsIn which of the following ways can multicausality affect comparative politics research?It allows comparative politics researchers to make more accurate predictions about real-world phenomena. It reduces limits to information and information-gathering procedures. It encourages research to lean more toward the quantitative method.It complicates the comparative method and makes it more difficult to develop concrete explanations about real-world phenomena. It helps provide a wider number of cases for researchers to study.Question 171 / 1 ptsAn institution can be defined as any: spontaneous movement that is unable to sustain itself. organization or activity that is self-perpetuating and valued for its own sake.large, monolithic organization that depends on a core bureaucracy and a set of standard operating procedures. organization or action that is subject to government regulation. object or value that people support through public funds.Question 181 / 1 ptsThe substance of
