AP Psychology
Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
Topic 3.1
What is the most accurate way to interpret contradicting pieces of evidence when developing an argument in psychology?
Claim that if there are conflicting studies, it means neither can be true due to inconsistency in findings.
Automatically assume newer research has more validity than older studies regardless of methodology quality or sample size.
Acknowledge both sides but explain why one interpretation might be more valid based on additional evidence or methodological strengths.
Ignore contradictory evidence that doesn't align with the originally proposed hypothesis.
