Reporting psychological investigations - Research Methods [A-Level Psychology]

If you want to improve your psychological knowledge in a way that is more fun than just studying and trying to memorise, I recommend reading a popular science book. You will be surprised how often the ideas in these books pop up in your actual course! And you’re far more likely to actually understand these ideas having read about their wider context.

My top 10 psychology(ish) books for psychology students.

This video includes:Reporting psychological investigations. Sections of a scientific report: abstract, introduction, method, results, discussion and referencing.

Created for the requirements of AQA A level psychology. However, information should be useful for students of other psychology courses.

thankyou for this! could we be asked to write out in full certain sections of a report because i came across a past paper question asking us to write out a paragraph of the discussion section around significance levels so i was just wondering to what extent aqa could give us questions on this because i can't find any model answers like 'write out the introduction or method for x' to know how to word it etc?

Hi Sir, so for the question:
Which section of the psychological report should include information about how the participants were allocated to the two groups?

Is the answer 'Method' or 'Procedure', or are they both acceptable?

Thanks so much :)
