  • The scientific method is the approach used by psychologists to systematically acquire knowledge and understanding about behavior.
    • Psychologists start by identifying questions of interest.
    • The next step in the scientific method is to develop a theory to explain the phenomenon that has been observed.
      Theories are broad explanations and predictions concerning phenomena of interest.
    • Next, you use the theory to develop a specific and testable hypothesis.
      Theories and hypotheses allow psychologistgs to make sense of unorganized bits of information, placing them within a structured and coherent framework.
