Read the following paragraph and answer the five questions that follow
Psychology, as a scientific study of behaviour, employs several diverse research methods to collect and analyse data. In the early phase of modern psychology, experimental method has been highly popular. The early psychologists, like Fechner and Ebbirghaus, were well known experimentalists. Experimental method allows the active manipulation of the independent variable Ronald Fisher and others systematized the area of experimental designs. Due to the success of controlled laboratory experiments, field experiments were also carried out where the IV is manipulated in the natural or field setting. Especially due to the need for policy and program evaluation research, quasi experimental designs have also
been developed. Various non -experimental methods, including surveys and correlational research, are also employed in psychology. The survey method employs interviews, both structured and unstructured, and questionnaires. Both open end and close end questions and scale items can be used in interview schedules and questionnaires. Different types of observations, including naturalistic observation, participant and non-participant observation, are also used in certain areas like ethology. In the qualitative research tradition, case studies are widely used. Special research approaches, for example, ethnographic research, have been developed for specialized areas like cross-cultural psychology. Inaddition, psychologists use various measurement techniques including standardized objective tests, projective methods, situational tests and even physiological measures. The use of such diverse methods and measurement techniques has enriched the science of psychology as well as our understanding of human and animal behaviour including the cognitive processes.
