Document Summary

Base their research programs around concerns with human problems. Getting ideas about the relationships among variables by observing specific facts is known as the inductive method. Consider the potential limiting conditions of previous research. Attempt to explain conflicting findings in a research area. Be aware of what other research has been done in an area. Locate the research articles and books that contain reports of previous research helps prevent duplication of effort and may help you avoid problems that others have had. Primary sources usually appear in professional journals and secondary sources are documents that contain only summaries or interpretations of the research reports rather than a complete description of them (textbooks, books written by a single author, etc) Psycinfo has almost 2 million references to psychological literature published from 1887 to present.
