Research is important because if you don't do any research you won't have any credibility to back up your idea. Research that would be relevant to me is perhaps students who have diabetes do worse in school than other students. This would be relevant to me because I have diabetes and am a student in school. One new thing is about how psychologists study animals. This is important because its good to understand how different species learn and behave. Another thing i learned is about culture-shared ideas and behaviors tha one generation passes on the next. This is important because culture often shapes our behaviors, and it is important to see how different people act in different cultures. The third thing i learned is about the ethical tests done on humans. I'm not gonna lie, i thought the whole "shock experiment" was used alot in pyschology. But i learned that safe and more friendly tests are much more common. This is important because it is not right to hurt another human being in any type of experiment or study.

  1. I agree about your thoughts on the "shock experiment". I dont agree it't right either, and I believe it should be used only as a last resort. I'm glad to hear its rarely used also.
