what is the rationale for this page?[edit]

I am having trouble understanding the need for this page. It mainly lists methods in psychological research and seems redundant with List_of_psychological_research_methods. Is there a need for both or should they be consolidated? Robertekraut (talk) 04:07, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It needs more information; e.g. a history of psychological research paraphrased from the main artcle. It is an important article since Psychological Researh is commonly published in academic journals. GoatGod (talk) 05:57, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edits are coming[edit]

This article needs both a structural overhaul and a great deal of content additions. I will begin the editing process of all this and would love feedback and input to help make it the best. I will start by narrowing its focus from a broad list to just the topic at hand. Here is a link to the current updates I am making.

Since the last post I have decided to proceed with another article. Hopefully, other editors will tend to this one in the near future.

It should include a section on the Replication Crisis <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis> <http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124> whose origins were in Psychological Research <https://slate.com/health-and-science/2017/06/daryl-bem-proved-esp-is-real-showed-science-is-broken.html> <https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/why-preregistration-makes-me-nervous/comment-page-1>

The author has requested editing...I will leave this up for a few days and then be free to proecede to edit directly, if no discussion ensues and/or others don't edit it. GoatGod (talk) 05:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Confederate[edit]

I'm unfamiliar with the topic myself, but it seems like there's a concept in this field called a "confederate" that appears in several psychology Wiki articles, but is not defined anywhere. Would someone more knowledgeable about this concept be willing to add a description to this page (or another that they find appropriate)? -- Fyrael (talk) 20:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
