What to Focus On
- The five goals of psychological research are description, prediction, explanation, control, and application.
- Description involves accurate recording of behavior.
- Prediction is based on observed patterns between variables.
- Research begins with identifying a clear problem.
- A hypothesis is a testable statement about the relationship between variables.
- Data collection must be systematic and unbiased.
- Observation is a direct method of studying behavior.
- Naturalistic observation occurs in real-life settings; controlled observation happens in labs.
- Non-participatory means the observer does not join; participatory means the observer becomes part of the group.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Prediction in psychology means guessing what will happen in the future without any evidence.
Independent variable is the outcome being measured in an experiment.
Correlation means one variable causes the other.
