Advantages of
using the
scientific method
- EMPRICAL
- Data = gained through
direct observation,
experiment of
experience
- Adavtange because.. gain
concrete evidence for a theory -
we can see it through people's
experience
- For example: SSRI's are
tested empricially
- Once the depressed
individual has been given
SSRI's, can observe their
progression/ see if they
improve their mood

- Data = gained through

- OBJECTIVE
- Advantage because.. less
susceptible to bias +
subjectivity
- Getting facts means we are more
certain that the data is valid
- For example: Loftus + Palmer's
experiment = objective
- Participants were asked for
estimates of speed (mph) - these
numbers could not be subjected in the
conclusion
- Participants were asked for

- For example: Loftus + Palmer's

- Getting facts means we are more

- Advantage because.. less
susceptible to bias +
subjectivity
- FALSIFIABLE
- The null hypothesis is capable of
being tested + supported
- We can test to see if a prediction
of behaviour is wrong
- For example: Loftus +
Palmer's null hypothesis =
leading questions will not
make a difference in the pts
estimates of mph
- Using the scientific method, they were
able to test this and saw that it was
incorrect
- Using the scientific method, they were
able to test this and saw that it was
incorrect
- We cannot falsify Freud's
theories about the unconscious
mind because we can't test
them
- For example: Loftus +
Palmer's null hypothesis =
leading questions will not
make a difference in the pts
estimates of mph
- We can test to see if a prediction
of behaviour is wrong
- The null hypothesis is capable of
being tested + supported
- CONTROLLED
- It is Less likely that confounding variables
will impact the results
- Due to high level of control it is possible
to establish cause and effect
- Many experiments using the scientific method
(Loftus + Palmer, Milgram, Acsh) would have
been able to control extraneous variables such as
participant differences
- They can be sure that their findings were
not affected so are valid
- They can be sure that their findings were
not affected so are valid

- Due to high level of control it is possible
to establish cause and effect
- It is Less likely that confounding variables
will impact the results
- REPLICABLE
- Makes it very
reliable
- Means other researchers can repeat the procedure + check
for consistency in findings, +therefore validate previous
findings
- Asch used a standardised procedure therefore it is
possible to replicate his study and test the reliability of
his results
