In psychology, a technique refers to a specific method or approach used for studying or investigating a particular phenomenon or aspect of human behavior. Techniques can vary depending on their purpose and may involve observation, experimentation, measurement, or analysis.
The experimental method is a research technique where researchers manipulate variables under controlled conditions to establish cause-and-effect relationships.
The observation method involves systematically watching and recording behaviors without interfering with them. It provides valuable insights into natural behaviors.
The survey method uses questionnaires or interviews to collect data from individuals about their thoughts, feelings, behaviors on specific topics. It is useful for gathering large amounts of information quickly.
