Experimental Psychology

 

 

 

Cornelia Fine has a degree in experimental psychology from Oxford University, an MPhil in criminology from Cambridge University, and a PhD in psychology from University College London. Fine references a lot of experimental psychology studies in her book and I'd like to take a look at what that means.

 

Experimental psychology use scientfic methods to research behavior. Experimental psychologists may do research on cognitive processes, animal behavior, neuroscience or personality along with many other subject fields.

 

It's more of a method of psychology than its own separate branch or field. Just like any other science, there are a lot of opportunities for bias, but as shown through Fine's book, the studies are often thought-provoking at the least.
