About this course

Understanding Research Methods in Psychology for your Newlane credit.

What is Research Methods in Psychology?

Research Methods in Psychology is the study of how psychologists ask questions, collect evidence, and decide whether a claim is supported by data. It covers how to tell scientific research from non-scientific claims, how studies are designed, and how results are interpreted. The course also introduces ethics, measurement, and different ways researchers gather information about behavior and mental processes.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split across 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to Newlane University, where the course is recognized as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE and counts toward a general-education requirement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds skills in evaluating evidence, interpreting data, and separating scientific claims from unsupported ones, which are useful in everyday decision-making and in many workplace settings. At Newlane, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy by filling a Social & Behavioral Sciences GE slot.

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent so Newlane University can review it as part of transfer evaluation. Newlane's registrar applies the course as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE, which means it satisfies a general-education requirement rather than sitting as an unassigned elective. That can help you map out remaining requirements in a Newlane degree plan, including options like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy as long as the total stays within that limit.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical fit for students who want to complete transferable general education with Newlane in mind, especially if they are balancing school with work or returning to finish a degree. It is also useful for students who want a Social & Behavioral Sciences GE course that can move them closer to Newlane's 90-credit transfer ceiling. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course outside general education or who is not planning to use transfer credit at Newlane.
