Some researchers may show preference over particular variables which may sway results while conducting the research. Often times the primary research hypothesis would be at odds with the results, contradicting the researcher’s original prediction. As demonstrated by the study conducted by Leibert and Dunne-Bryant (2015), their results …show more content…
Results for both research did not significantly conclude or support their hypothesis. Although there was no causal relationship, both research were able to expand the scope of knowledge through correlational or exploratory analysis. As concluded by Leibert and Dunne-Bryant (2015), the results was inconclusive on whether client or extra-therapeutic factors accounted for the most outcome variance. They were both significant predictors of change, however the results were not sufficient to support a causal
