When looking at Psychological research you should try to consider whether the research has practical applications.
Examples
- Loftus and Palmer's Study on Eyewitness Testimony - This study has practical applications. It helps to explain how eyewitnesses' memories can be distorted through leading questions.
- Bandura's Aggression Study - This study has practical applications. It helps us to understand how children learn by demonstrating the influence of imitation. It also serves as a warning of the effects of exposing children to aggression.
