About this resource
This AP Psychology Unit 2 quiz covers the foundational principles of psychological research methods and scientific thinking. The questions assess students' understanding of cognitive biases like hindsight bias and overconfidence, the scientific attitude's three pillars of curiosity, skepticism, and humility, and critical thinking skills essential to psychological inquiry. Students must demonstrate mastery of research methodology concepts including the distinction between theories and hypotheses, the importance of operational definitions, and various research designs such as case studies, naturalistic observation, and surveys. The quiz thoroughly examines statistical concepts including correlation versus causation, positive and negative correlations, correlation coefficients, and the interpretation of scatterplots. Additionally, students must understand experimental design principles including the roles of independent and dependent variables, control and experimental groups, random assignment, and the double-blind procedure. This content represents advanced high school level material that requires sophisticated analytical thinking and a solid foundation in statistical reasoning. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying AP Psychology research methods. The assessment serves as an excellent tool for formative evaluation, allowing teachers to gauge student comprehension of complex research concepts before moving to more advanced psychological theories and applications. Teachers can effectively use this quiz as a unit review to reinforce key vocabulary and concepts, as homework to encourage independent study of research methodology, or as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before discussing specific psychological studies. The comprehensive coverage makes it particularly valuable for identifying knowledge gaps in students' understanding of experimental design and statistical analysis. This quiz aligns with AP Psychology standards including Big Idea 1 (Psychological Science and Research Methods) and supports the College Board's emphasis on scientific thinking skills, specifically addressing Learning Objectives 1.A (describing the scientific method), 1.B (distinguishing types of research), and 1.C (identifying ethical standards in psychological research).
