Document Summary
Chapter 1: articulate how the roles of consumers and producers of psychological research are similar and how they differ. The roles of consumers and producers of psychological research require a curiosity about behavior, emotion, and cognition. Producers may be students that are fascinated by the research process and intend to become producers of research information. They hope to write up their results and present them at research meetings. Consumers are students who are interested in reading about research so they can later apply it to work or their life. 2. explain how theories and data interact to form empirical inquiry. First scientists act as empiricists and systematically observe the world. Second, scientists test theories and adapt their theories based on the resulting data. In the theory-data cycle, scientists collect data to test, change, or update their theories. 3. identify examples of basic and applied research, and describe the interactions between the two kinds of research.
