RESEARCH METHODS

• HOW DO PSYCHOLOGISTS GO ABOUT

TESTING A THEORY?

VARIOUS FORMS OF RESEARCH ARE USED

SPECIFIC STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN

FORUMLATE A HYPOTHESIS

• STATEMENT OF EXPECTED RESULTS.

• CLEARLY DEFINED

Page 4: METHODS OF RESEARCH. RESEARCH METHODS HOW DO PSYCHOLOGISTS GO ABOUT TESTING A THEORY? VARIOUS FORMS OF RESEARCH ARE USED SPECIFIC STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN.

TEST HYPOTHESIS

• Determine the best method to use to test your hypothesis and then develop your procedures.

• Determine if you need an experimental group and one or more control groups.

EXPERIMENTAL GROUP• IS EXPOSED TO THE INDEPENDENT

VARIABLE –WHAT YOU ARE TESTING

CONTROL GROUP

•IS NOT EXPOSED TO THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

EXPERIMENTAL METHOD

Experimental group-receives the independent variable

Control group- does not receive the independent variable (may use placebo)Attempt to control other variables

Measure results: dependent variable

If………..(independent variable)

Then……….(dependent variable)
