Correct answer: B. Artificiality of laboratory conditionप्रयोगशाला की दशाओं की कृत्रिमता।
Explanation
Experiments in the social sciences are criticised mainly because the tightly controlled laboratory setting is artificial, so behaviour observed there may not generalise to real social life (low ecological validity). The other three statements are too sweeping: field experiments, quasi-experiments and many classic social experiments show that experimentation in social settings is both possible and available.सामाजिक विज्ञान में प्रयोगों की मुख्य आलोचना यह है कि कड़े नियंत्रण वाली प्रयोगशाला की दशाएँ कृत्रिम होती हैं, अतः वहाँ देखा गया व्यवहार वास्तविक सामाजिक जीवन पर लागू नहीं भी हो सकता (निम्न पारिस्थितिक विधिमान्यता)। शेष तीन कथन अति-सामान्यीकृत हैं; क्षेत्र-प्रयोग, अर्ध-प्रयोग तथा अनेक प्रसिद्ध सामाजिक प्रयोग दिखाते हैं कि सामाजिक परिवेश में प्रयोग संभव भी है और उपलब्ध भी।More Research Aptitude questions
