Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the scientific method in psychology involves a sequence of steps starting from identifying a research question to interpreting findings.
Recognize that before interpreting research findings, data must be collected through experimentation or observation.
Interpretation of research findings begins after the data has been analyzed, meaning the raw data is processed to find patterns or results.
Reviewing the literature, designing the experiment, and formulating a new hypothesis are important steps but occur before data analysis and interpretation.
Therefore, the step that typically begins the interpretation of research findings is analyzing the collected data, as it provides the basis for understanding what the results mean.
