Research Method Scramble

To help psychology students review different research methods, their strengths, weaknesses, and key features in a fun and engaging way

Number of Players: 2-6

How to Play:

Card Setup: The deck of 52 cards is divided into four categories based on research methods (Experiment, Quasi-Experiment, Observation, and Interview/Questionnaire). Each category will have 13 cards, each describing a different aspect of that method (e.g., definition, strengths, weaknesses, types, etc.).

Game Start: Players take turns drawing a card from the shuffled deck. The player must read out the description or feature on the card and explain its significance in the context of research methods. They can give examples or elaborate further if they wish.

Challenge: If another player thinks the explanation is incorrect or incomplete, they can challenge the explanation. The player who drew the card must then provide a more accurate or detailed explanation. If they succeed, they keep the card. If they fail, the challenging player gets to keep the card.

Winning: The game continues until all the cards have been drawn. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
