Research on Scientific Articles

Reading scientific articles is a challenging yet exciting experience. Scientific articles such as ‘beauty and its effect on jail time sentencing’ would require a good understanding of theoretical and empirical concepts in the field of psychology. They also use technical terms and complex statistical analyses that are at times challenging to interpret. However, reading scientific articles is also an enriching experience as it offers a better understanding into current debates in the field.Collecting data is another crucial step in the research process that was both rewarding and challenging. Online surveys, for example, were a convenient way to collect large amounts of data from a diverse population (Leavy, 2020). However, creating surveys that accurately capture the variables of interest and ensure data quality was a struggle. It was also challenging to obtain a representative sample that accurately reflects the population of interest.
