Summary
This study introduces a novel framework for evaluating human existence through five universal exigencies. A structured inquiry method ensures comprehensive data collection for robust psychological research.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Human Behavior Studies
- Social Sciences
Background:
- Human existence can be evaluated against five universal exigencies: pair-bondage, troop-bondage, abidance, ycleptance, and foredoomance.
- These exigencies form a template for generating standardized research inquiry schedules.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a systematic methodology for psychological research.
- To ensure comprehensive coverage of relevant variables in studies of human existence.
Main Methods:
- A standardized inquiry schedule is designed, progressing from open-ended to forced-choice questions.
- Subjects summarize interviews on tape, with verbatim transcripts serving as subheadings.
- A jury uses abstracted, cumulative data (up to 25 years) to fill data schedules with standardized scoring criteria.
Main Results:
- This method contrasts with ordinary questionnaires where subjects self-rate using unstandardized criteria.
- A jury-based rating system provides standardized scoring for enhanced data analysis.
- Tabulated jury ratings consolidate subject and control scores for statistical analysis.
Conclusions:
- The proposed methodology offers a rigorous and standardized approach to psychological research.
- This framework facilitates in-depth analysis of human existence through systematic data collection and evaluation.
