Hypothesis: an educated guess about some phenomenon 2. Theory: a complex explanation based on findings from a large number of experimental studies

3. Prediction: with accumulated knowledge predict what they think, feel, and future behaviors 4. Influence: influence behavior in helpful ways 1. Basic science: research 2. Applied science: using psychological principles to solve more immediate problems

Scientific Basis of Psychology Scientific method: a general approach to gathering information and answering questions so that errors and biases are minimized Data obtained from methods such as experiments, surveys, and case studies
