1-1 Discussion: Research Methods
Address the prompt below.
This discussion will focus on the following research methods used in
personality psychology:
● Correlational Studies
● Experimental Studies
● Case Methods
Imagine your team is applying for a grant to conduct a major study in
personality psychology. Before getting into the specifics of the study, the
team leader has asked each team member to discuss one of the
different research methods available in personality psychology. You will
be assigned a research method based on the first letter of your last
name.
Your initial post will describe the assigned research method and how it is
implemented. Discuss how personality researchers use the method and
also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the research method
assigned. Be sure to mention the appropriate applications of the method
you are describing. The overall goal here is to inform the team about the
appropriate use of your research method as well as its strengths and
weaknesses. Your instructor may reassign research methods as needed
for this discussion, so check the announcements for any reassignments.
