Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Statistics are the primary source of information that are generated through psychological experimentation and observations.  Because human behavior is so erratic and unpredictable, psychologists are never able to fully predict the outcome of a given situation.  Consequently, they rely on statistics to illustrate the probability instead.
    Good statistics are the closest thing to empirical data that can be produced and effectively utilized in the psychology field.  Otherwise, it would consist of mostly guidelines and theories.
