Thinking/decision Making

Persuasive Thinking

Analyze persuasive thinking credibility is the key. A manager with credibility such as honesty, trust, and respect will have employees to listen and does what he or she ask them to do. Employees who are intelligent there is no need to talk down to them. Be respectful, direct, sincere, and tactful when persuading. In religion sect minister have followers who would follow due to their way of persuading through their teaching and the bible or other forms of religion books. To persuade is to take one idea at a time. In this thinking process state the important with strong evidence. Appeal to the audience by their needs, interests and goals. Use logic of reasoning to help with the argument (Robbins & Hunsaker, 2007).

Logic Thinking

Analyze logic thinking is to think logical and identify reason. Deductive thinking and inductive thinking allow understanding logic thinking process. Deductive thinking for example, at work he or she works full time meaning they know to get a full pay check he or she would work twenty-five plus hours a week. The logic is twenty hours a week would place he or she part-time. When it is under twenty-five hours logically it would mean part-time and not full-time. To obtain full benefits he or she would work twenty-five plus a week to obtain full benefits. Inductive thinking is a general statement derives from and applies equally to a number of cases. In court a lawyer would possible lose without enough evidence to permit their client to be innocent.

Scientific Thinking

Scientific thinking process begins with observation. Observation is taking Observation leads to wondering about the causes and effects of what we observe, about its character and constitution, and how one might intervene to create desirable change (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). Once observations are made a hypothesis is formed. A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between two variables, usually in the form of a prediction (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). The prediction made through observation has to be tested to determine if the statement can be regarded as truth, which leads to the next step in the scientific thinking process experimentation. Experimentation tests the hypothesis through any of the various research methods, which could include the formal experiment. There are many ways to conduct experiments, so a determination must be made about which way will yield the best results. Verification is the final step in the scientific thinking process in which the analysis of data takes place to see if the data supports or disputes the hypothesis (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). Scientific thinking could arguably to the most reliable method of thinking because of the verification step, and observations alone are not taken as truth until they are proven. These are the basic steps of scientific thinking.

Scientific thinking is one thinking style that uses critical thinking to gather and analyze information to gain understanding for problem solving or decision-making. There are four major steps scientific thinkers have to go through, which are observation, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and verification. Scientific thinking is a way to gather reliable
