visit www.snaptutorial.com   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 these processes
be the subject of research? How 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?

the following article in your Electronic
Readings, Null Hypothesis, CLOSED THINKING
Without scientific competition and open debate,
much psychology research goes nowhere DQ 2 It
is suggested that significance tests should be
banned for two reasons, (1) that there is a
tendency for researchers to accept the null
hypothesis as true because the result is not
significant and (2) significance is confused with
a large effect size.

who was an English Clergyman in the early 18th
century who is known for the Bayes' Theorem. The
theorem suggests that science is about conducting
research in order to adjust our preexisting
beliefs in light of the evidence collected.
Conclusions drawn from an experiment are always
in the context of what we believed about the
world before the experiment. Others suggest that
it is better not to make any assumptions about
prior beliefs. (Aron, Aron Coups, 2006)
