www.psych625mentor.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?

a research study. While that is certainly the
case, we use descriptive statistics in a number
of other ways.

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.  Would you agree that
testing the significance of a result may lead to
faulty assumptions about accepting the null
hypothesis?

www.psych625mentor.com   DQ 1 Thomas Bayes 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) Where
do you weigh in on this debate? Do you think we
do research in order to validate something we
already believe to be true or false?
