Social Psychology – Research is the Key

Baumeister and Bushman (2014) describe Triplett’s research that demonstrates how individual performance increases in the presence of others, but in a seeming contradiction, tends to decrease when a person is part of a group performance. This is just a glimpse of the topics that social psychologists have explored and confirmed through research. As you go through the course, you will read about many past and present fascinating research studies conducted in social psychology. Social psychology relies heavily on research to understand how humans think, feel, and behave in social contexts.

For this discussion:

• Explain why research is so important to social psychology and why social psychologists rely on research rather than reaching conclusions based on perception or wisdom.
• Describe two different research designs that social psychologists use and what types of information can be gained from each. What are the limitations of each design?

In this, and in all your course discussions, be sure to offer support for your statements and follow APA guidelines. Be sure to use citations and included sources.
