Document Summary

Examples of producer jobs, research scientists or professors. Do not directly engage in research process. They read about research so they can later apply it to their work, hobbies, relationship, and personal growth. Need to develop the ability to read about research with curiosity. Examples of consumer jobs, therapists, teacher, police officer, psychology courses. Need to know how to: ask the right questions, determine the answers, evaluate a study based on those answers. They both require a curiosity about behavior, emotion, and cognition. Share a desire to ask, answer, and communicate questions. Both practice empiricism: to answer psychological questions with direct, formal observations, and to communicate with others about what they have learned. Scientists act as empiricists they systematically observe the world. Scientists test theories the theory-data cycle. Scientists make their work public the publication process. Scientists talk to the word: from journal to journalism.
