Upon studying Psychology, can I be expected to conduct legitimate social experiments or solely work from a book?

When I took AP Psychology, it was a merit course that could result in college credit. However, while not all of our work was from a book, most of it was. I am more of a hands on learner, and I was curious as to if I could expect to learn hands on in a college atmosphere.

In general you won't be conducting original research until you have completed your PhD in psycology. During your PhD you will begin doing research under the guidance of your principle investigator.

Hi Kaesyn,

That's a great question. Something that you find out as you continue your education is how different high school learning is versus college. Not only is college more hands-on, but also more inclusive of your peers through discussions, team projects, and even presenting. Book work will never go away, as the reading is essential to learning the foundation, but you can expect more field work as you grow as a professional. Also, if you seek a degree in Psychology, most colleges require field-work in order to get the degree. I hope that helps and good luck!

Thanks,
Rachael
