Problem Definition and Hypothesis Generation by Recent Family Nurse Practitioner Graduates
Little is known about the effect of problem definition on hypothesis-generation accuracy in recent family nurse practitioner (FNP) graduates. The hypotheticodeductive-reasoning model served as the theoretical framework for the study. An alternating-treatment single-subject experimental design was …

Negotiation of problem definition in the clinical psychology appointments of a learning disability service
… The current research explored the process of problem definition in the appointments of a psychology service for people with learning disabilities. Aims were also to examine power issues and to consider the ways in which the people present contributed to decisions made. A discourse analytic …

The Creative Process: The Effects of Domain Specific Knowledge and Creative Thinking Techniques on Creativity
… creative thinking process. The four stages are problem definition, idea generation, internal evaluation, and idea expression. While a large range of factors influence the various stages in this model, two factors are identified for further analysis as their effect on creativity is unclear. These …
