    ORIGINAL AUTHOR\u2019S THOUGHTS<\/strong>
    \nSocial psychologists use the scientific method\u2014a hypothesis, or testable prediction, is developed and then tested using observational, correlational, or experimental methods.\u00a0 These different methods answer different kinds of questions.\u00a0 Observational methods answer questions relating to what is happening.\u00a0 Correlational methods look at relationships between variables, enabling prediction.\u00a0 Correlation, however, does not allow us to determine causation.\u00a0 With the experimental method, researchers manipulate one variable, the independent variable, and measure the effect of that manipulation through assessment of the dependent variable.\u00a0 At times, once one knows the results of a research study, those results may seem obvious, but people tend to fall short when truly predicting results beforehand.\u00a0 This sense that \u201cyou knew it all along\u201d is called the hindsight bias.\u00a0 In research, attention is paid to potential ethical issues.\u00a0 Researchers have their research plans checked by an institutional review board, and participants provide informed consent and are debriefed at the end of the participation.<\/p>\n

    \nSocial psychologists use the scientific method\u2014a hypothesis, or testable prediction, is developed and then tested using observational, correlational, or experimental methods (Feenstra, 2013).\u00a0 Different methods answer different kinds of questions.\u00a0 Observational methods answer questions about what is happening.\u00a0 Correlation enables prediction by looking at relationships between variables.\u00a0 Correlation, however, does not determine causation.\u00a0 With the experimental method, researchers manipulate the independent variable and measure the effect of that manipulation on the dependent variable.\u00a0 Occasionally, one might correctly predict results and feel as though he or she \u201cknew it all along\u201d (hindsight bias), but this is rare.\u00a0 In research, attention is directed to possible ethical issues.\u00a0 An institutional review board will check the plans of a researcher, and participants will provide informed consent and will be debriefed following participation in studies.<\/p>\n
