    • Steps in conducting psychological research
      1️⃣ Define the research question and hypotheses
      2️⃣ Collect and analyze data
      3️⃣ Write the introduction section
      4️⃣ Describe the methods used
      5️⃣ Present the results accurately
      6️⃣ Discuss the implications of the findings
      7️⃣ Acknowledge limitations and suggest future research
      8️⃣ Summarize the conclusions
      9️⃣ Cite references correctly
    • What is the first step in starting a research study?
      Define research question
    • A research question is a specific query that guides the investigation
    • What does the alternative hypothesis predict?
      Effect or difference
    • Match the hypothesis type with its definition and example:
      Null Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts no effect ||| There is no difference in memory recall between males and females
      Alternative Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts an effect ||| There is a difference in memory recall between males and females
    • What is an example of a null hypothesis for memory recall between males and females?
      No difference in recall
    • What is an example of an alternative hypothesis for memory recall between males and females?
      Difference in recall
    • Data in psychological research can be collected using two main approaches: Quantitative and Qualitative
    • Quantitative data is numerical and can be analyzed statistically.
    • What type of data uses unstructured interviews and focus groups?
      Qualitative
    • What is the primary purpose of the introduction in a research report?
      Set the stage
    • The background in the introduction provides context using previous studies
    • What are the two main types of hypotheses in psychological research?
      Null and Alternative
    • The null hypothesis predicts no effect or no difference
    • The alternative hypothesis predicts an effect or a difference.
    • Match the hypothesis type with its definition:
      Null Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts no effect
      Alternative Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts an effect
    • What is the purpose of a research question in a study?
      To guide the investigation
    • Hypotheses are testable predictions that attempt to answer the research question
    • The null hypothesis is denoted by *H1*.
      False
    • What would the null hypothesis be if the research question is "Is there a difference in memory recall between males and females?"
      No difference in recall
    • Quantitative data is numerical data that can be measured and analyzed statistically
    • Match the data type with its example:
      Quantitative Data ↔️ Measuring anxiety levels on a scale
      Qualitative Data ↔️ Understanding patient experiences with therapy
    • What are the key elements that should be included in the introduction section of a research report?
      Purpose, significance, background
    • Order the steps of the procedure in the teaching method comparison study:
      1️⃣ Participants were randomly assigned to groups
      2️⃣ Both groups received the same content
      3️⃣ One group was taught using lecture-based method
      4️⃣ The other group was taught using activity-based method
      5️⃣ All participants completed the same test
    • What are three methods for presenting research results accurately?
      Tables, graphs, statistical analyses
    • Graphs, such as bar charts, are used to visualize trends
    • A t-test result with p<0.05p < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between two groups.
    • What is a key element of presenting research results accurately?
      Avoiding bias
    • Tables in research reports are used to summarize numerical data.
    • What do the implications of research findings highlight?
      Study importance
    • A research question is a specific query that guides the investigation.
    • Match the hypothesis type with its definition:
      Null Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts no effect
      Alternative Hypothesis ↔️ Predicts an effect
    • What are the two main approaches to data collection in psychology?
      Quantitative and Qualitative
    • Quantitative data often uses structured questionnaires and experiments to collect data.
    • The introduction of a research report provides an overview of the study's aims and hypotheses.
    • What does the Methods section describe in a research report?
      How the research was conducted
    • An independent groups design compares the effects of different groups on a dependent variable.
    • Tables in research reports are used to summarize numerical data for easy comparison.
    • What is the purpose of discussing the implications of research findings?
      Highlight study importance
    • The implications of research findings highlight the study's potential impact on real-world applications.
