Examine. The verb examine means to study something carefully and in great detail. You can examine a book, a painting, a person's face and so on. Right now, you are examining the meaning of examine. Examine means to look at something very closely and usually with the purpose of making a judgment.
Example: Examine Decision making [process, or other]
Test: The verb Test means a procedure intended to establish the quality, performance, or reliability of something, especially before it is taken into widespread use.
Example: Test Hypothesis Females are more meticulous in their decision making
To investigate means you are now going to search for the relevant data related to the phenomenon to be studied to find answers to the research questions you have posed. However, to examine a particular condition means you already have the the data regarding the phenomenon but you want to test for it's validity, interpretation or the diverse perspectives people have about it.
Please, can you send me your research title and research objectives so that I can help you fine-tune it? Best regards
