For this discussion, The Topic/ research will be on Denial.

Be sure to read the Weekly Content before attempting this Discussion exercise. After completing the Weekly reading, return to the discussion here and respond to the necessary questions:

Imagine you are going to conduct research investigating a human behavior that you would be interested in learning more about. Be sure to describe that topic so that your classmates know what your research questions are and so that they can better understand your study. What are your specific predictions/hypotheses (e.g., what do you expect the findings of your study to be)?

Select a scientific method for this psychological research. Although in the "real world," researchers may combine methods or use one or more methods, choose only ONE research method for the purpose of this academic exercise. Working with humans can create potential issues. List some of the strengths and weaknesses of this specific type of research. Identify potential ethical concerns in this research process.

Answers need to cover these questions and elaborate on key terms/concepts reviewed in the lesson this week. Replies can introduce new/different perspectives and must encourage the continuation of the discussion.

POST THE NAME OF THE METHOD ON THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR INITIAL POST.
