  4. Forming a Hypothesis • Bell-Ringer • Read Pages 25-29 • Hypothesis is an educated guess. • If-then statement? Have you ever said the phrase? What do you think it is used for? • EX: If I do not bring an umbrella then it will rain.

  5. Hypothesis • Testing the hypothesis-once a hypothesis has been formulated- now it is time to test it. • Psychologists do not rely on people’s opinions. Instead, they examine the evidence and draw their own conclusions. • Analyzing the results- as with the fish experiment, the 3 boys only tested their theory once, while in the real world of psychology once would not be enough to collect valid data.

  6. Hypothesis • Drawing a Conclusion… Once the information has been analyzed then a psychologist can draw a conclusion or interpret the results. What would happen if the observations did not support their hypothesis? • Replication---- It is time to repeat the process to see if the same results have been achieved. The study must be repeated-and must produce the same results as before. In a study in which people are the participates, researchers might want to replicate the study using participants who differ not only in gender but also in such characteristics as age, ethnicity, social and economic backgrounds.
