,Chapter 2: Research methods
Empiricism: gaining knowledge by observing the world and measuring aspects of it.

How is the scientific method used in psychological research? (2.1-
2.4)
2.1 Science has three primary goals.
Primary goals of science: description, prediction, and explanation.
- Prevalence: the proportion of a population who have a specific characterization during a
specific period.

Scientific method: systematic procedure to obtain
information about a scientific subject.
- Research: a scientific process that involves
the careful collection, analysis, and
interpretation of data.
- Data: measurements gathered during the
research process.
- Theory: a model of interconnected ideas or
concepts that explains what is observed and
makes predictions about future events.
Based on empirical evidence.
- Hypothesis: a specific, testable prediction, narrower than the theory it is based on.

2.2 The scientific method is a systematic way to test hypotheses.
There are seven steps that define the scientific method:
1. Pose a specific, testable research question 5. Conduct the study
2. Literature review (what is already known?) 6. Analyze the data
3. Form a hypothesis 7. Report the results
4. Design a study

2.3 The scientific method is cyclical.
No single study can provide a definite answer or explanation about any phenomenon.
Replication: repeating a study to confirm or contradict the results.
- Reproducibility project: an initiative from a large group of psychologists that sought to
replicate findings that had been published during 2008 in three selected journals. 39% of
these studies replicated.
False positive: a result that occurs when there is no real effect, but a study produces a statistically
significant result by chance.

Questionable research practices: practices that unintentionally make the research less replicable,
such as small samples, HARKing (hypothesizing after results are known), p-hacking (using different
formulas or sets of data to get the right results) and underreporting null effects (not reporting the
lack of relationships).

Preregistration: documenting a study’s hypothesis, methods, and analysis plan before the study
starts and publishing it on a time-stamped website.

Meta-analysis: a “study of studies” that combines the findings of multiple studies to arrive at a
conclusion.
