What to Focus On

  • Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour.
  • It studies human behaviour in individuals, groups, and different situations.
  • Wundt is credited with the groundwork for introspection.

  • Observation studies behaviour by careful watching and recording.
  • Naturalistic observation occurs in natural settings and is unstructured.
  • Naturalistic observation has high ecological validity.

  • Longitudinal method studies the same group repeatedly over time.
  • It is used in developmental psychology.
  • Its data are more accurate and generalisable.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
