Week 7 [Data Skills in Psychology Research]

Question 1

Original/Primary Data Collection:

Answer 1

The process of gathering new, original data through methods like experiments, surveys, observations, or interviews, rather than using existing data.

Question 2

Secondary Analysis

Answer 2

The analysis of data that was collected by someone else, often for a different purpose, in order to address a new research question.
