Chapter Summary
• Research is a means by which I/O psychologists understand issues associated with people at work.
• The four primary research methods used by I/O psychologists are experiments, quasiexperiments,questionnaires, and observation.
• The four primary research methods differ in their extent of control (potential for testing causal relationships) and realism (naturalness of the research setting).
• Meta-analysis is a secondary research method that is useful in integrating findings from previously conducted studies.
• I/O psychologists measure variables of interest and apply statistical analyses to understand the relationships among the variables.
• All psychological research is guided by a code of ethics that protects the rights of research participants.
• Research is conducted in both academic (university) and applied (organizational) settings, but usually for different purposes.
• As a profession, I/O psychology has a broad base of knowledge derived from both academic and applied research.
• There are cross-cultural differences in both people’s willingness to serve as research participants and their responses.
