Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the scientific method as it applies to psychological research. The process typically begins with observation, where psychologists notice phenomena or behaviors that prompt questions.
Step 2: After observation, the next step is hypothesis formation. This involves creating a testable prediction based on the initial observations.
Step 3: The hypothesis is then tested through experimentation, where controlled methods are used to gather data and examine the validity of the hypothesis.
Step 4: Once data is collected, data analysis is performed to interpret the results and determine whether they support or refute the hypothesis.
Step 5: Finally, theory development occurs, where broader explanations or models are constructed based on the accumulated evidence from multiple studies and analyses.
