What methods do you think are best to answer those questions-Think of existing technologies that we have, and consider what methodologies you would use if you could invent anything, with little limitation.

Think about the major psychological findings and questions you have, or have been exposed to in your studies, daily life, or in the media.

What are the main questions that interest you that have to do with psychology? For example, are you most interested in asking questions about children’s development, how people act when they are alone versus in groups, romantic relationships, effective coping strategies, or psychological disorders? These are not the only options, so think about a specific facet of psychology that you are especially interested in and consider how research in that area gets done.

What methods do you think are best to answer those questions? Think of existing technologies that we have, and consider what methodologies you would use if you could invent anything, with little limitation. How could you improve our current approaches and add to existing knowledge?

For your section, you will write a short (500 words) essay addressing these issues, to be turned in Thursday by 7pm. The ideas you come up with will form the basis of your section’s discussion about research methods this week.
