Individual Article Review #1 Let's practice identifying the degree to which psychological research may focus on different goals. Research can vary along a continuum from basic research to applied research (see pages 11-13 of your text). Additionally, research may pursue different goals (see pages 8- 11). Let's also try out identifying conceptual variables and variables that have been given an operational definition (see pages 63-67). For example, a conceptual variable might be "happiness," whereas one operational definition of happiness might be the sum score on a happiness self-report scale. 1. Where would you place the research of Loftus and Palmer (1974) on the continuum from basic to applied? Most importantly, justify your placement. o Very basic o Somewhat basic o Somewhat applied o Very applied 2. Which of the four scientific goals does this research seek to address? Talk about each of the four goals and justify why the research does or does not seek to address the four scientific goals of research in psychology? Make sure to justify each of your assessments and take care that you are using the terminology carefully. Describing behaviour: Predicting behaviour: Determining causes: Explaining behaviour: 3. Point out one conceptual variable that the researcher manipulated as well as at least one way they created an operational definition for this variable.
