Section 7: Research Methods and Statistics provides a focused review of the research principles and statistical concepts you need to confidently answer EPPP questions. This section teaches you how psychological research is designed, conducted, analyzed, and interpreted, with an emphasis on applying research findings to evidence-based psychological practice.
You will review essential topics including research design, experimental and quasi-experimental methods, sampling, measurement, reliability and validity, descriptive and inferential statistics, probability, statistical significance, effect size, correlation, and research ethics. You will also learn how to identify variables, interpret study results, evaluate the strength of research findings, and recognize common threats to validity.
Rather than simply memorizing formulas and definitions, this section focuses on helping you understand what statistical results actually mean and recognize the concepts being tested in EPPP-style scenarios. The goal is to make research methods and statistics more approachable while strengthening your ability to evaluate evidence, interpret data, and select the best answer on exam day.
