The Scientific Method Learning Target: SWBAT explain how psychologists conduct scientific research and apply their findings to better understand human behavior

The Scientific Method Control Variables: Control Variables: Variables that are kept the same throughout the experiment/study Variables that are kept the same throughout the experiment/study Independent Variable: Independent Variable: Variable that is purposely changed/manipulated by the person(s) conducting the experiment Variable that is purposely changed/manipulated by the person(s) conducting the experiment Dependent Variable: Dependent Variable: Variable that changes based on reactions to Independent Variable Variable that changes based on reactions to Independent Variable Learning Target: SWBAT explain how psychologists conduct scientific research and apply their findings to better understand human behavior

The Scientific Method Identify the control variable, independent variable, and dependent variable in this hypothetical experiment: Identify the control variable, independent variable, and dependent variable in this hypothetical experiment: A researcher is looking at how studying influences test scores. Control-the tests administered to students Independent-the amount of studying students do Dependent-the RESULTING test scores Learning Target: SWBAT explain how psychologists conduct scientific research and apply their findings to better understand human behavior

The Scientific Method Operational Definition: Operational Definition: A statement of the procedures (operations) used to define research variables A statement of the procedures (operations) used to define research variables E.g.-weight is defined as the numbers that appear when an object is placed on a weighing scale. E.g.-weight is defined as the numbers that appear when an object is placed on a weighing scale. E.g.-Intelligence may be defined by one’s IQ E.g.-Intelligence may be defined by one’s IQ Replication: Replication: Ability to repeat a research study, with different participants in different situations Ability to repeat a research study, with different participants in different situations Determine whether basic findings extend beyond a single research study Determine whether basic findings extend beyond a single research study Learning Target: SWBAT explain how psychologists conduct scientific research and apply their findings to better understand human behavior
