MyIB).<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>How<\/em> are they used?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s important that you can describe in detail the methodology used when adopting one of the research methods. You also need to link it specifically to biological factors. You can begin with a general summary. For example, when explaining experiments you would explain how researchers manipulate an IV and may randomly allocate participants to groups before measuring the effects of this on the DV. To show full understanding you should go deeper and link this to biological psychology. For example, you can explain how experiments are used to study hormones by manipulating the levels of hormones in the body and seeing how this affects cognition, the brain, or behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Correlational studies involve the measuring of two co-variables without focusing on an IV and a DV. In biological psychology, at least one of the co-variables will be biological, such as brain volume or levels of hormones.<\/p>\n<p>Case studies are conducted on participants when studying the brain and behaviour when patients have interesting and unique brain damage and the influence this has on behaviour is studied. Data is gathered using multiple methods, including brain scans, questionnaires, interviews and observations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Teacher Tip:<\/strong> I used to begin my course with research methods like most people. I later learned that this was like building a house by starting with the roof. It was much easier to wait until later in the course when the students understood the studies, to then go back and use these as examples of how and why research methods are used in various fields of psychology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_13680\" style=\"width: 242px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.themantic-education.com\/collections\/support-packs\/products\/ib-psychology-teacher-support-pack-quantitative-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13680\" class=\"wp-image-13680 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=232%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=790%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 790w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=768%2C995&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=1185%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=1580%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=100%2C130&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=906%2C1174&amp;ssl=1 906w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?resize=1200%2C1555&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/10\/C6-Teacher-support-TSP-image.png?w=2358&amp;ssl=1 2358w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I teach a unit on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.themantic-education.com\/collections\/support-packs\/products\/ib-psychology-teacher-support-pack-quantitative-methods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quantitative methods<\/a> that covers all this content in IB Psych.

It&#8217;s important to understand the general reasons behind using a particular method.<\/p>\n<p>For example, true experiments are used because they allow cause and effect conclusions to be drawn. This is because they control extraneous variables, ensuring only the IV is having an effect on the DV. However, this explanation could apply to any field, so we need to link it to biological psychology. In this case, the IV is often a biological factor (neurotransmitter, hormones or even genetics) and the effects are measured on a dependent variable (a behavior or perhaps brain function). Now the link to biological psychology is clearer.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing to remember is to link the &#8216;why&#8217; to the biological factors. What is it about the biological level of analysis that makes this a useful research method to use. For example, why experiments? (think about why animal experiments are common). Why are case studies like HM&#8217;s valuable to study the brain (especially before modern brain imaging techniques were invented)?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>WHAT? HOW? WHY?
