-There are certain guidelines psychologists must follow in order to experiment on people. For one, the individual must be willing to be experimented on and the psychologist must provide comfort and fully explain the research afterward.

Is psychology free of judgment values?
-Psychology is not free of judgment values, your values effect what you study and how you study it. Your values also determine how one interprets their research.

1. Why are the answers that flow from the scientific approach more reliable than those based on intuition and common sense?
Answers without proof are subject to human biases and overconfidence, while also often having no evidence to back them up making them logically less accurate. Scientific answers are more accurate because they have been researched and have evidence to back them up.
2. What are the three main components of the scientific attitude?
The three main parts of a scientific attitude are these: 1. Eager curiosity 2. Skeptical scrutiny 3. An open mind. The short version of these is called critical thinking.

For instance, a psychologist could infer their patient has depression based on their negative outlook on past, present, and future tense subjects. This would then lead to numerous observations like low self esteem, etc. These observations break down the psychologists theory based of their evaluation of the patient.

Naturalistic observation would be evaluating the natural attributes of an individual without manipulation or administration. Surveys would be to ask a group of people numerous questions involving their behavior and emotions. A case study is "examining a singular individual to reveal things about us all." (22). Another interpretation would be to evaluate the way someone uses their words, which is called wording effects. This would be analyzing the depths of other's words, for instance if an individual used their words with aggression, attitude, or passion.

2) "The best basis for generalizing is from a representative sample of cases.
3) Operational definitions are important because it's a required structure for psychology statements.
