-==Examples of different research methods==
-A very wide range of [[Introduction to research methods|research methods]] are used in psychology.
-Some of the approaches include:
-* [[Laboratory experimentation]]
-* [[Correlational research]]
-* [[Cooperative inquiry]]
-* [[Naturalistic observation]], in which researchers study a population while attempting to change as little as possible.
-* [[Experimental study]], in which researchers change a variable in the group being studied.
-* [[Field work]]
-* [[Psychometrics]] <!-- What is this? -->
-* [[Prospective study]], in which a study samples subjects as the experiment progresses. [[Cf.]] Retrospective study.
-* [[Retrospective study]], in which data is collected on subjects' histories at one time. Cf. Prospective study.
-* [[Longitudinal study]], in which subjects are studied over a course of time. Cf. Cross-sectional study.
-* [[Cross-sectional study]], in which a snapshot of the population is assumed to represent individuals as they progress through life. See also Longitudinal study.
-* [[Meta analysis]], in which statistical results from a number of similar research studies can be amalgamated together
-* [[Qualitative psychological research|Qualitative research]]
-* [[Computer simulation]], in which the behaviour and/or predictions of a psychological theory capable of being modelled by computer can be explored.
-* [[Action research]]
-* [[Participatory action research]]
-* [[Discourse analysis]]
-* [[Observational method]]
-* [[Interview method]]
-* [[Structured interview]]
-* [[Case study method]]
-* [[Correlational method]]
-* [[Experimental method]]
-* [[Empirical method]]
-* [[Quasi-empirical method]]
-* [[Single-case designs]]
