Social Psychology - Chapter 2: Research methods

Findings in social psychology are based on the scientific method. Scientific research describes a phenomenon (are people more aggressive when it is very hot outside?), makes predictions about it (will the rate of homicide increase during the summer?), and explains why it happens (why do people act more aggressively when it is hot?).
