    • What are the two key components needed to start a research study?
      Research question and hypotheses
    • A research question is a specific query that guides the investigation, while hypotheses are testable predictions
    • There are two main types of hypotheses: null and alternative.
    • Match the hypothesis type with its definition:
      Null Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts no effect
      Alternative Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts an effect
    • What does the null hypothesis (H0H0) predict?

      No effect or difference
    • What does the alternative hypothesis (H1H1) predict?

      An effect or difference
    • A null hypothesis predicts no effect, while an alternative hypothesis predicts an effect
    • An example of a null hypothesis is "There is no difference in memory recall between males and females."
    • An example of an alternative hypothesis is "There is a difference in memory recall between males and females."
    • If the research question is "Is there a difference in memory recall between males and females?", the null hypothesis is "there is no difference
    • Match the data approach with its characteristics:
      Quantitative Data ↔️ Numerical, measured statistically
      Qualitative Data ↔️ Descriptive, explores experiences
    • What type of data is numerical and analyzed statistically?
      Quantitative data
    • What type of data captures experiences and attitudes in detail?
      Qualitative data
    • The introduction of a research report provides a brief overview of the study's aims and hypotheses
    • The purpose of the introduction is to explain why the research was conducted.
    • What is a research question in psychological research?
      Specific query guiding investigation
    • The null hypothesis predicts no effect
    • Data in psychological research can be collected using quantitative and qualitative approaches.
    • What is an example of quantitative data collection in psychology?
      Measuring anxiety levels
    • What are the two main approaches for collecting data in psychological research?
      Quantitative and Qualitative
    • Quantitative data is numerical data that can be measured and analyzed statistically
    • What type of data captures experiences, attitudes, and behaviors in detail?
      Qualitative data
    • Quantitative data uses structured questionnaires and experiments to collect data
    • Match the data type with its definition:
      Numerical data ↔️ Quantitative data
      Descriptive data ↔️ Qualitative data
    • What is an example of collecting quantitative data in anxiety research?
      Rating anxiety levels on a scale
    • Qualitative data is often collected using unstructured interviews
    • Quantitative data uses numerical scales to measure variables
    • What is the purpose of the introduction section in a research report?
      To orient the reader
    • The context of the introduction provides background information
    • What are specific questions the study aims to answer called in the introduction?
      Research questions
    • Order the key elements of the methods section in a research report:
      1️⃣ Participants
      2️⃣ Design
      3️⃣ Materials
      4️⃣ Procedures
    • What do materials in the methods section include?
      Questionnaires and equipment
    • The methods section ensures the study's transparency and replicability
    • What should the results section present accurately?
      The study's findings
    • Data presentation in the results section often uses tables or graphs
    • Findings from research on screen time and sleep align with the stimulus-response theory
    • What does the null hypothesis predict in research?
      No effect or no difference
    • An example of a null hypothesis is that there is no difference in memory recall between males and females
    • The alternative hypothesis predicts an effect or a difference
    • Match the data collection method with its corresponding approach:
      Structured questionnaires ↔️ Quantitative
      In-depth interviews ↔️ Qualitative
