Unit 1 - Evolution of Psychology & Research Methods

• Observation is the most important aspect of psychological research.
• Operationalism means to define our variables in the manner in which we are going to measure them.
• Correlation measures degree of relationship between variables and ranges from -1 to +1. Correlation does NOT imply causation.
• Experimental, correlational, & descriptive methods all have strengths & weaknesses in describing human behavior.
• Descriptive statistics describe the data gathered in research, while inferential statistics allow us to draw conclusions about how this data can be generalized to a larger population.
• Following ethical principles is vitally important in any kind of psychological research.
