PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT:

BASIC PERSPECTIVE

Experimental Psychology is a branch of psychology that examines the process of sensing, perceiving, learning, and thinking about the world.

In the context of positivism, or empiricism, observation / observation of the processes carried out by the experimental method as a method or logic of reliable inquiry for details (description), explain (explanation), forecasting (prediction), and control (control) are increasingly accurate / precise process-the process itself as reality.

The realities of mutual berasosisasi, even trusted / belief includes the notion of determinism, that behavior must be uncaused, or possess determinant. It's just the reality here and now (here and now) is not understood by approaches tenacity, intuition, authority, not even with rationalism, but once again with the experimental method. So rather than experimental method Experimental Psychology itself, although this method is the only flagship, but first of all keep acquiring knowledge about psychological Realities.

Experimental method is more acceptable means for a tool / means it ensures objective observation, the observation that independent of opinion or bias. Keep in mind, what is meant by the experimental method here is a methodology (which contains sequence elements of the logic of inquiry began to identify problems and form elements of hypothesis, experiment design element, the element of conduct experiments, elements of hypothesis testing, until the write element reasearch report ), not the techniques, which really just specific scientif Manners in the which the method is implemented.

In the context of positivism, there are other methods besides the experimental method, descriptive method, which intends to organize a description or picture of a situation, event, or a collection of special events / particular. Included in the descriptive method is naturalistic observation, secondary records, and field studies consisting of at least 4 methods: participant observation, surveys (surveys, correlational studies, longitudinal and cross-sectional studies), ex post facto studies, and meta-analyisis.

Of course, the experimental method is the best, as far as a method capable of guaranteeing could know the relationship / causal association between the realities.
It does not mean the experimental method has no drawbacks. The downside is, because it tends to be done in laboratories, then the result is very exclusive, meaning that can only be justified (legitimated) for ekesperimen that's it. Doubtful can use the results to a larger population.

There is a big problem in terms of external validity. In order to place external validity, oerlu cultivated presence: population validity, ecological validity, and temporal validity. Of course keep in mind the inverse relationship between internal validity and external validity: if the increased external validity, internal validity tend terkurbankan, vice versa.

Method as a tool is indeed one integral part scholarly. But the most important for the integrity of the truth of science is the scientific attitude of scientists themselves, to always keep ourselves to stay has: Curiosity, patience, Objectivity, and change.
