A laboratory experiment is where neither the participant nor the experimenter are aware of which group each participant belongs to.

Laboratory experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants.

A laboratory experiment is an experiment conducted under highly controlled conditions, where accurate measurements are possible and uses a standardised procedure

A laboratory is an empirical study in which individuals (or clusters of individuals) are exposed to the experimental and control conditions that are determined by nature or by other factors outside the control of the investigators

A field experiment is an empirical study in which individuals (or clusters of individuals) are exposed to the experimental and control conditions that are determined by nature or by other factors outside the control of the investigators

A study on lots of fields

A field experiment is where there is a specific research procedure in which the researchers (and those involved in the study) do not tell the participants if they are being given a test treatment or a control treatment.

A field experiment is done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants. The experimenter still manipulates the independent variable, but in a real-life setting (so cannot really control extraneous variables).

Natural experiments are conducted in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants, but here the experimenter has no control over the independent variable as it occurs naturally in real life.

Natural experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants. The experimenter still manipulates the independent variable, but in a real-life setting (so cannot really control extraneous variables).

A natural experiment is an experiment conducted under highly controlled conditions, where accurate measurements are possible.

A study where everything is 100% natural

A Quasi-experiment is an experimental procedure in which neither the participant nor the experimenter are aware of which group (i.e., experimental or control) each participant belongs to.

A Quasi-experiment is a specific research procedure in which the researchers (and those involved in the study) do not tell the participants if they are being given a test treatment or a control treatment.

Quasi-experiment research involves the manipulation of an independent variable without the random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions.

Quasi-experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants. The experimenter still manipulates the independent variable, but in a real-life setting (so cannot really control extraneous variables).

Correlational research is a type of non-experimental research where the researcher measures two variables and assesses the statistical relationship ( between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables.

Correlational research indicates the extent to which the pairs of numbers for these two variables lie on a straight line

Correlational research is a branch of psychology that looks at how cultural factors influence human behaviour

Correlational research involves studies that have the potential to have a negative impact on specific groups of people or society in general

Scales that measure how likeable you are

Likert scales are used to describe the data and show a summary of the results.

Likert scales are a type of psychometric scale frequently used in psychology questionnaires, where respondents are asked to rate the level to which they agree with a statement.

Likert scales are the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research.

Primary research in psychology include articles that summarize or provide interpretations of original research

Primary research is a type of non-experimental research in which the researcher measures two variables and assesses the statistical relationship between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables.

Primary research is where an investigation in which a hypothesis is scientifically tested

Primary research in Psychology is any type of research that you collect yourself

Secondary research is any type of research that you collect yourself.

Secondary research is information that someone else has collected

Secondary research is research that does not test specific relationships between variables

Secondary research is commonly used in psychology research to collect self-report data from study participants

Questionnaires are self-report techniques that involve an experimenter asking participants questions (generally on a one-to-one basis) and recording their responses

Questionnaires are a written self-report technique where participants are given a pre-set number of questions to respond to. They can be administered in person, by post, online, over the telephone, or to a group of participants simultaneously.

Questionnaires are used to analyse qualitative data (non-numerical data). In its most common form it is a technique that allows a researcher to take qualitative data and to transform it into quantitative data (numerical data)

Questionnaires are very detailed investigations of an individual or small group of people, usually regarding an unusual phenomenon or biographical event of interest to a research field.

Case studies are very detailed investigations of an individual or small group of people, usually regarding an unusual phenomenon or biographical event of interest to a research field.

Case studies are research into particular criminal cases committed by psychopaths

Case studies are used to describe the data and show a summary of the results

Case studies are studies conducted on identical or fraternal twins. They aim to reveal the importance of environmental and genetic influences for traits, phenotypes, and disorders

Content Analysis is a multivariate statistical technique for data reduction

Content Analysis is a method used to analyse qualitative data (non-numerical data). In its most common form it is a technique that allows a researcher to take qualitative data and to transform it into quantitative data (numerical data)

Content analysis examines the causes and consequences of behavior.

Content Analysis refers to a research strategy where instead of conducting new research with participants, the researchers examine the results of several previous studies.
