Context

Becoming competent in psychological science means that you not only develop a set of ideas about how people think and behave—you also gain an understanding of how psychologists arrive at their conclusions. Nearly all psychological research relies on the ability to make generalizations about a population based on a sampling of data, with a fair amount of certainty. Those professionals who perform research rely on statistics to analyze the results, but there are many more who will read the results of the research and apply it in the real world. It is important to be able to critically analyze any research findings in order to determine if the methods used and the results reported are valid, and if they are relevant to you as a professional. Inaccurate findings could lead to improper application, creating flaws and confusion in the scientific knowledge you are building. In order to critically analyze research reports, you need to consider the context in which the research was conducted, the methods used by the researchers to address the research questions, what the results of the research are, what conclusions the researchers made from the results, and if the conclusions are important.
