Psychology is empirical. Psychologists are committed to addressing questions about behavior through formal, systematic observation The scientific approach assumes that events are governed by some lawful order Psychologists and other scientists share three sets of interrelated goals: Measurement and description Understanding and prediction A hypothesis is a tentative statement about the relationship between two or more variables. Variables are any measurable conditions, events, characteristics, or behaviors that are controlled or observed in a study Application and control A theory is a system of interrelated ideas used to explain a set of observations. Allows to leap from description of behavior to understanding Must be testable Gradual construction

Research

Research the meaning of null hypothesis. Describe how and why it is used in experimental design. Properly cite your reference. In statistical inference of observed data of a scientific experiment, the null hypothesis refers to a general or default position: that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena,[1] or that a potential medical treatment has no effect.[2] Rejecting or disproving the null hypothesis ? and thus concluding that there are grounds for believing that there is a relationship between two phenomena or that a potential treatment has a measurable effect ? is a central task in the modern practice of science, and gives a precise sense in which a claim is capable of being proven false.

Research Methods In today?s world there are a vast number of ways to do research. Some are good and some are bad. The research method you use also depends on what kind of outcome you?re looking for. The two main concepts I believe that I found most useful was the Foundations section under Knowledge Base and the Computer Simulations section.
