How do I study AP Psychology research methods?

Short answer

Study research methods by applying terms to scenarios: variables, operational definitions, sampling, correlation, experiment, ethics, bias, and generalizability.

What to do next

For each scenario, label the method, variables, possible confound, and what conclusion is allowed.

The common mistake

Memorizing definitions without practicing what each term looks like inside a study.
