Q1: Define psychology. How is it different from intuition or common sense?
Q2: Define and provide your own example of the following: a) a positive correlation, and b) a negative correlation. Why are correlations important to psychology? What are the problems with correlations?
Q3: Can science answer question A or question B below? If so, briefly explain why or why the question is not a good candidate for scientific inquiry. Address both questions.

If the question can be studied scientifically, identify what method might be used to study it, and identify the independent and dependent variables.
