Скачать или смотреть Research Methods: GCSE Psychology

Welcome to our Research Methods video for GCSE Psychology! In this lesson, we’ll explore how psychologists turn big questions into testable hypotheses. You’ll discover the types of variables (independent, dependent, and extraneous) and see how sampling methods—like random, opportunity, systematic, and stratified—help us draw fair conclusions from target populations.

We’ll dive into different approaches to data collection—covering experiments (laboratory, field, and natural), interviews, questionnaires, case studies, observations, and correlation. You’ll learn how to plan and conduct research with confidence, from choosing the right design (independent groups, repeated measures, or matched pairs) to ensuring reliability, validity, and adherence to ethical guidelines. Finally, we’ll break down how to handle data by calculating descriptive statistics like mean, median, mode, and range, and explore the concept of a normal distribution.
