Research methods in psychology

Dave and Rupa need to conduct a piece of research as part of their course at college. They have been asked to answer the following research question: does listening to music affect memory?

In approximately 1000 words, explain how you would conduct a piece of research in order to answer this research question. As part of your answer, you should do the following:

• State what research method you would use and how you would use this method to answer the research question.

• Justify your choice of this method.

• Explain how you would try to ensure that your method was both valid and reliable

• Explain how you would ensure that you were conducting the research in line with the ethical guidelines for psychological research

Your work should include in-text referencing and a reference list of sources using the Harvard referencing system.

(The easiest method to use in this case is the experimental method) for example, the IV (independent variable) is music- recalled more / no music– recalled less -see experimental method diagram in the attached file
