- Summary:
- Part 1 of a 3-part Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology. Surveys have shown that research methods is students least favourite topic. So why do we have to study them? This short film answers that question. All psychological research uses research methods, so we can't 'know' a study, until we also know about the research that produced it. This is why research methods are so important. Investing time learning about research methods pays great dividends. It provides greater understanding of the studies we read about and, as we illustrate with Albert Bandura's famous Bobo doll experiments, it helps evaluate a study, a skill examiners want to see in tests.
