5 STEPS

17. A theory is a well-defined, logically organized set of ideas that describes and explains relationships between certain events.
Theories aid in the development of a hypothesis which is a specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in your study. Generally it tries to answer questions related to “how” and “why” things are the way they are.
_____Evolutionary psych suggests that men and women have evolved different approaches to mating
1. Theory VS Hypothesis

18. STATE AND DEFINE VARIABLES
Independent Variables: the variables in your study that are MANIPULATED by the experimenter. This variable will change in quality or quantity according to the wishes of the experimenter.
Dependent Variables: the variables that do or do not change as RESULT of manipulation of the independent variables. These are the actual observed, scored, or measured outcomes of the study.
You give different drugs____ to see the effect on pain____.
STATE AND DEFINE VARIABLES

19. Experimental Condition: This is the group of subjects who will be exposed to your manipulation of the independent variable.
Control Condition: This is the group of subjects who undergo the exact same experimental procedures as the experimental condition, except the independent variable is not manipulated. The control condition is sometimes considered to be the “placebo” or “sugar pill” group.
We are testing to see if Tylenol gets rid of a head aches. We give group A a Tylenol and tell group A they are going to swallow the pill and see if it remedies the pain____. We give group B a fake Tylenol “placebo” but tell and tell them it is Tylenol & they are going to swallow the pill and see if it remedies the pain____.
ASSIGN SUBJECTS

20. 4. Run the Study – Green Article
Single Blind – experimenter knows who is in what group
Double Blind – no one knows (randomly assigned, ex. Unlabeled bottles, pills, etc.)
We are running an experiment to test is people can tell the difference between Pepsi Cola and Coca Cola. The experimenter is given two bottles that are unlabeled to administer to one of the subjects. The subject themselves also can not see which brand is which.____
4. Run the Study – Green Article

21. Descriptive: these statistics summarize data (graphs, tables, averages)
Inferential: these statistics allow researchers to make conclusions about the data collected in the study. They may state their findings in a concluding statement.
INTERPRET DATA
