Confirmation
Confirmation. First published Thu May 30, 2013; substantive revision Tue Jan 28, 2020. Human cognition and behavior heavily relies on the notion that evidence (data, premises) can affect the credibility of hypotheses (theories, conclusions). This general idea seems to underlie sound and effective inferential practices in all sorts of domains ...
Confirmation and Induction
The dark clouds on the sky support, or confirm, the hypothesis that it will be raining soon. Confirmation takes a qualitative and a quantitative form. Qualitative confirmation is usually construed as a relation, among other things, between three sentences or propositions: evidence E confirms hypothesis H relative to background information B.
The Confirmation of Hypotheses
THE CONFIRMATION OF HYPOTHESES. IT is commonly said in philosophical discussions of scientific method. that while a~ scientific hypothesis of some generality or abstractness can be disconfirmed or eliminated,' it can be confirmed only in the sense in which evidence may tend to confirm or partially confirm hypoth- eses;2 it can never be ...
Hypothesis-generating and confirmatory studies, Bonferroni correction
Many null hypotheses are tested in order to generate study hypotheses for further research, others to confirm an already established study hypothesis. The difference between generating and confirming a hypothesis is crucial for the interpretation of the results. ... Hypothesis-generating studies are much more common than confirmatory, because ...

tribute to further investigation of hypothesis-testing processes. Confirmation and Disconfirmation in Rule Discovery The Rule Discovery Task Briefly, the rule discovery task can be described as follows: There is a class of objects with which you are concerned; some of the objects have a particular property of interest and others do not.
Confirmation of Scientific Hypotheses as Relations
In spite of several attempts to explicate the relationship between a scientific hypothesis and evidence, the issue still cries for a satisfactory solution. Logical approaches to confirmation, such as the hypothetico-deductive method and the positive instance account of confirmation, are problematic because of their neglect of the semantic dimension of hypothesis confirmation. Probabilistic ...
Evidence and Confirmation
To say that a body of information is evidence in favor of a hypothesis is to say that the hypothesis receives some degree of support or confirmation from that information. What sorts of information confirm what hypotheses is a question which has long been controversial; it was discussed as avidly three centuries ago as it is today, when, under the heading of "confirmation theory," it is ...
Hypothesis Testing in Scientific Practice: An Empirical Study
It is generally accepted among philosophers of science that hypothesis testing (or confirmation) is a key methodological feature of science. As far as philosophical theories of confirmation are concerned, some emphasize the role of deduction in confirmation (e.g. the H-D method), whereas others emphasize the role of induction in confirmation (e ...
Confirmation of Scientific Hypotheses as Relations

As has already been pointed out, empirical hypotheses posit a variety of relations such as association, causality, reciprocity, similarity and so. on between qualities and/or quantities of objects, of facts which I call. states.

Why a confirmation strategy dominates psychological science.
Our research explored the incidence and appropriateness of the much-maligned confirmatory approach to testing scientific hypotheses. Psychological scientists completed a survey about their research goals and strategies. The most frequently reported goal is to test the non-absolute hypothesis that a particular relation exists in some conditions. As expected, few scientists reported testing ...
Confirmation: What's in the evidence?
1. Introduction. Is it relevant for scientific confirmation whether evidence is known first and a hypothesis is proposed later to explain and fit it (henceforth called accommodation), or evidence verifies predictions from a hypothesis formulated before observing the evidence? 1 Bayesian confirmation theory implies that whether evidence is predicted or accommodated is irrelevant.
Confirmation bias
Confirmation bias also surfaces in people's tendency to look for positive instances. When seeking information to support their hypotheses or expectations, people tend to look for positive evidence that confirms that a hypothesis is true rather than information that would prove the view is false (if it is false).. Confirmation bias also operates in impression formation.
The Objective Confirmation of Hypotheses
According to Nicod's criterion of confirmation ( [7]), a hypothesis of the form 'All P are Q ' is confirmed by its positive instances, i.e. by entities that are P and Q. It is well known, however, that the criterion gives origin to counterintuitive results. For example, it sanctions the confirmation of 'All nonblacks are nonravens' by a ...
Hypothesis confirmation: The joint effect of positive test strategy and
Hypothesis testers tend to ask hypothesis-consistent questions (i.e., they ask about features more likely under the hypothesis than under the alternative). Targets tend to acquiesce (i.e., they provide more yes than no answers). Because yes answers to hypothesis-consistent questions confirm the hypothesis being tested, hypothesis testers should generate hypothesis-confirming data. In the ...
Confirmation Theory
In both science and everyday life, we use the notion of evidence ( e) confirming a hypothesis ( h) or a prediction ( d ). Confirmation theory is an attempt to analyse this crucial notion of confirmation. The degree of confirmation of h given e is written C ( h, e ). Strictly speaking, the evidence e will be in addition to some background ...
Hypothesis-Confirmation Strategy Above and beyond the importance of diagnosticity, there is the issue of whether subjects prefer to ask questions about characteristics whose presence tends to confirm rather than to disconfirm the hypothesis under scrutiny. This would be indicated by a preference to ask questions for which a "yes" answer would ...
A Definition of "Degree of Confirmation"
1. The problem. The concept of confirmation of an hypothesis by empirical evidence is of fundamental importance in the methodology of empirical science. For, first of all, a sentence cannot even be considered as expressing an empirical hypothesis at all unless it is theoretically capable of confirmation or disconfirmation, i.e. unless the kind ...
Null statistical hypothesis testing, confirmation bias, and statistical
Null statistical hypothesis testing aims to prevent confirmation bias [1]. The researcher creates the null hypothesis by converting the research question to a research hypothesis and then converting the research hypothesis to the null hypothesis. This should happen before starting data collection starts.

STUDIES IN THE LOGIC OF CONFIRMATION. 115. scientists to accept (or reject, or leave in suspense, as the case may be) a given hypothesis after ascertaining what amount of confirming or of disconfirming evidence for the hypothesis is contained in the totality of the accepted observation sentences.
What Is a Confirmed Hypothesis?
Confirmation. If a well-designed study delivers the results predicted by the hypothesis, then that hypothesis is confirmed. Note, however, that there is a difference between a confirmed hypothesis and a "proven" hypothesis. Scientific studies can support a given hypothesis, but they do not claim to absolutely prove hypotheses -- there could ...

Confirmation Bias In Psychology: Definition & Examples
This type of confirmation bias explains people's search for evidence in a one-sided way to support their hypotheses or theories. Experiments have shown that people provide tests/questions designed to yield "yes" if their favored hypothesis is true and ignore alternative hypotheses that are likely to give the same result.
