    Study Notes

    Human-Centric Approaches

    • The Humanistic approach focuses on the inherent value and dignity of individuals, emphasizing personal growth and self-actualization.

    Research Methods

    • The primary goal of a case study in psychology is to gain in-depth information about a specific individual, group, or phenomenon.

    Experimental Design

    • The purpose of a double-blind experiment in psychology is to prevent bias by ensuring that both the researchers and participants are unaware of the group assignments or conditions.

    Correlation Analysis

    • A correlation coefficient of 0.7 indicates a strong positive relationship between two variables.

    Research Study Types

    • The primary difference between an experiment and a correlational study is that an experiment involves manipulating an independent variable to observe its effect on a dependent variable, whereas a correlational study examines the relationship between variables without manipulating them.
