Blog #8: Research and Working EQ

1. What is your working EQ?

What is the best way to create and conduct social psychology research to test different behavioral patterns?

2. What is a possible answer to your EQ?

The best way to create and conduct a social psychology experiment to test different behavioral patterns is to have a test and control group, and eliminate all possible inconsistencies and variables between the groups.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

Thus far, the most important source in coming up with my answer to my working EQ was the first article in my WB, "How to Conduct a Psychology Experiment" because it gave me a very detailed outline of the requirements for different ways of conducting experiments and what kind of information they collected, the pros and cons to each, etc.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Viviane Seyranian, a social psychology professor at who allows me to talk to her and observe her work in a classroom setting. Her work provides me with examples of different methods of research, that can contribute to my decision for a final answer to my EQ.
