🧠 How Psychologists Study Behaviour – Class 11 Psychology Companion Course 

Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behaviour, thoughts, and emotions. These methods help them observe, measure, and understand human experience in a scientific and ethical way.

Some of the key methods include:

• Observation – Watching behaviour in natural or controlled settings to gather insights.
• Experimental Method – Conducting experiments to test hypotheses and establish cause-effect relationships.
• Case Study – Studying one individual or group in depth to understand unique psychological phenomena.
• Survey Method – Collecting data from large groups through questionnaires or interviews.

Each method has its strengths and limitations, and psychologists choose them based on the question they’re exploring.

🔬 Why Methods Matter in Psychology

Scientific methods allow psychologists to move beyond assumptions and personal opinions. They help ensure that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to real-life situations. Ethical guidelines also play a crucial role in protecting participants and maintaining integrity in research.
