Decide whether this is inductive or deductive reasoning. You have an idea that if parents are more involved in their kids’ school activities, the children will receive better grades. You decide to collect data on parents’ commitments to their children’s school activities and children’s grades. You find that the data matches your initial idea, and parent involvement does have a positive effect in the children’s grades.

This is an example of (inductive or deductive) reasoning because the logic goes from (specific to general or general to specific).
