Psychological Research Methods
Psychological research involves four main methods: the (true) experimental method, [experimental method a research method in which one or more independent variables are systematically manipulated and all other potentially influential variables are controlled (i.e. kept constant), in order to assess the impact of manipulated (independent) variables on relevant outcome (dependent) variables] the quasi-experimental method, [quasi-experimental method embodies the same features as the experimental method but does not involve the random assignment of participants to experimental conditions] the survey method (sometimes called the correlational method), [survey method the systematic collection of information about different variables in order to investigate the relationship between them] and the case study method [case study method research method that involves a single participant or small group of participants who are typically studied quite intensively].
