• 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

  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?
