TEST BANK FOR Principles of Research in Behavioral Science, 5E by Mary E. Kite (Author), Bernard E. Whitley Jr Chapter 1-19 CHAPTER 1: BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE Complied by William E. Addison, Eastern Illinois University and Emily M. Cronk, Ball State University ©Routledge, 2025 An Activity for Teaching the Scientific Method by R. Eric Landrum (Boise State University). Taken from the book, Activities for Teaching Statistics and Research Methods, co-edited by Jeffrey R. Stowell and William E. Addison (American Psychological Association, 2017). This activity is designed to enhance students’ understanding by first reviewing the steps of the scientific method and their relation to psychological research, and then by applying scientific concepts to popular psychological myths. Development of a Research Methods and Statistics Concept Inventory by Jennifer C. Veilleux and Kate M. Chapman, University of Arkansas (2017). In this article, published in Teaching of Psychology, 44(3), 203-211, the authors describe the development of the 20-item Psychological Research Inventory of Concepts. This scale would make a good early-semester activity to assess students’ entry-level knowledge of important concepts in psychological research. https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1177/0098628317711287 Everything is Awesome: Building Operational Definitions with Play-Doh and LEGOs by Stephanie E. Afful (Lindenwood University) and Karen Wilson (St. Francis College). From the book, Activities for Teaching Statistics and Research Methods, co-edited by Jeffrey R. Stowell and William E. Addison (American Psychological Association, 2017). In this activity, students use either Play-Doh or LEGOs to create a three-dimensional structure (e.g., house, boat, car). Pairs of students provide instructions to each other for making the structure with the materials provided; these instructions serve as the students’ operational definitions.
