Deductive reasoning involves developing a hypothesis based on existing theory and then designing a study to test the hypothesis to confirm or reject it. Inductive reasoning begins with making observations and collecting facts, then drawing conclusions through posteriori reasoning by formulating theories as a result of the observations at the end of the research process.
