About research methods and ethics slides
GoConqr OriginalResearch methods and ethics slides
The slide sets on this page cover experimental and non-experimental approaches, as well as ethics. Experiments introduces the experimental method and variables, while Non-experimental methods looks at observing and recording behaviour. Ethics introduces principles for research involving humans, and another slide set considers the use of animals in psychological research.
Using the slides to revise
Start with Experiments if you want an introduction to the experimental method. Then read Experimental Research Methods for a closer look at laboratory experiments and control over variables. For a different approach, compare these with the observational techniques in Non-experimental methods.
Work through a slide set in short sections and summarise its main points in your own words. If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Flashcards there offer another way to revisit key terms. Choose a slide set and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which slide set is a useful place to start?
Experiments is a useful starting point for the experimental method, including how a researcher changes an independent variable. For a closer look at controlled settings, Experimental Research Methods covers laboratory experiments. Both are listed on this page, so you can choose the one that fits your revision.
Do the slides cover research ethics as well as methods?
Yes. Ethics introduces principles for research involving humans, including beneficence and justice. The page also lists Using animals in psychological research and a slide set considering benefits and potential harm in the use of non-human animals. Other slide sets focus on experiments, observation and correlations.
Are the slide sets free to use?
Yes. Every slide set listed here is free to open and study without an account. A free GoConqr account also lets you make your own slides-independent revision resources, including quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and save quiz scores. The listed resources were made by GoConqr users.
