During this essay ‘falsifiable’ , ‘verifiable’ and ‘theoretical approach’ shall be defined in relation to psychology, with a different range of psychological methods of investigations such as experimental, observational, correlational, clinical and survey methods.
Falsifiable means that it can be shown to be Incorrect, this means that you can't rely on the result from the experiment or even a statement..
Verifiable means you that it can be shown as correct, with a positive result. Verifiable Is to prove the truth of something through an observation or investigation, for an example a birth certificate is proved verifiable, and evidence can back this up.
There are many different theoretical approaches in relation to psychology, which involves …show more content…
The behaviourist approach focuses on two different processes where people tend to learn from the environment that they live in. One being known as classical conditioning and the second being know as operant conditioning which both reflect on learning by association and learning from bad behaviours for example dealing with consequences. Behaviourists have had bad comments made on a few occasions due to the way it undermines human behaviours, but believe in methodology and controlled experiments.
Experimental Methods are known as the most investigation of all methods. However, difficulties and multiple issues have arisen during non-experimental methods and this is due to the lack of domination and control through out the situations that have been carried out. The experimental method Involves manipulating and interfering with the variables to see what the result are , which makes it a more unbiased experiment. Some experiment have been described as the main aspect of psychology over the past years on some …show more content…
This experiment is conducted in a stable environment, but is not always in a laboratory. However, the observer has a choice where to the experiment is conducted and with what participants present at exactly what time the observer had confirmed. A perfect example to conclude this is the Milgrams experiment, which was one of the most famous studies know to psychology today.
Field Experiments. This experiment is conducted during m everyday life which has natural affect, this experiment can be held anywhere, for example it could take place in a primary school or high school, the streets or even a business office.
