The Research Process is a series of successive operational phases from generating the idea through dissemination in published form as journal articles, books, book chapters, posters at conferences, talks at conferences, talks at brownbags or invited talks, etc. After first reading about the "Overview" of the research process, each step in the process will be explained in detail and examples will be provided to help you better understand the material. There are two overarching goals -- to explain how to conduct psychological research, and to explain how to evaluate psychological research. |
