Can u tell me 2 different types of research methods used in psychological research?

You'd really need to provide more details of what kinds of methods you're talking about. Are you talking about overall kinds of research designs, or specific types of manipulations?





Taking a stab, I'd go with correlational and experimental methods. With the former, you measure the relationship between two variables. With the latter, you try to determine causation by manipulating one variable and measuring its effect on another.

Quantitative and Qualitative.
Reply:Independent Groups and Repeated Measures.





Independent groups would use groups of participants to test (with a control group of participants for comparison). Repeated measures would carry out repeated tests on participants (again with some kind of control incorporated).
Reply:I think you mean quantitative and qualitative. Basically quantitative research uses mathematical data in a series of tests to reach a conclusion while qualitative research uses interviews and opinions to look for trends

Reply:Testing. Devising written tests and learning how to draw conclusions that deveop a scoring system that works over and over.





Experimentation. Devizing a maze and putting subjects into it with problems to solve and then evaluating the results and drawing conclusions that work over and over.
