• DQ 1 As we begin our venture into statistics,
  let's pause to examine the role of research in
  psychology. Psychology is the science of
  behavior. We think of psychology as counseling,
  introspection, learning, cognition, etc. How can

  do we reconcile the discipline and rigor of good
  research with the ambiguity of human emotions and
  motivations?  What is the role of research in
  psychology?
