What is a psychological construct?
A psychological construct is an abstract concept used by psychologists to help describe and explain human behaviors or experiences. It is a hypothetical attribute that cannot be directly measured, such as intelligence, personality traits, or motivation. Constructs help researchers develop theories and test hypotheses about human behavior.
Do psychologist believe in ESP?
The belief in extrasensory perception (ESP) is not supported by empirical evidence and is not accepted within mainstream psychology. Psychologists focus on studying phenomena that can be tested, measured, and observed through scientific methods rather than those that lack scientific basis.
What type of behavior cannot be observed?
Internal thoughts and feelings cannot be directly observed, as they occur within an individual's mind. Likewise, motivations and intentions are also not directly observable, as they are internal processes that influence behavior.
True or false behaviorists believe that a psychologist's primary study should be directly observed behavior the unconscious mind in the key element in determining behavior?
False. Behaviorists believe that psychologists should focus on directly observable behavior rather than the unconscious mind. They emphasize the influence of external factors on behavior and disregard internal mental processes as the key element in determining behavior.
What is a conceptual variable?
Conceptual variables are variables that are used as the basis of a hypothesis in experiments. Conceptual variables are abstract, as opposed to the concretely defined variables used in the experiment.
Can smell be observed but not measured?

Is mass anything that can be observed?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is a fundamental property that can be observed and measured through its effects on the object's motion and interactions with other objects.
What is qualititive data?
Qualitative data deals directly with descriptions; not numbers. This data can be observed and read but not measured since there are no numbers involved.
What is beyond the scope of science?
Anything that cannot be observed directly must be inferred. theories are extrpolated and then tested to destruction.
What physical property can be observed but not measured?
Color is a physical property that can be observed but not measured quantitatively. It is a subjective experience that can vary based on individual perception.
How do you define 'natural science'?
Natural science is the general branch of science that studies concrete entities and phenomena which are directly observed and measured and that relate to the material universe.
What is the one to be observed or measured?
It has been blocked
Why can't dark matter be directly observed?
If it could be directly observed then it would not be called dark matter!
What is constuct?
"Construct validity is the extent to which an instrument measures a characteristic that cannot be directly observed but is assumed to exist based on patterns in people's behavior( such a characteristic is a construct). Motivation, creativity, prejudice, bedside manner--all of these are constructs in that none of these can be directly observed and measured" (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010, p. 92)
What is the difference between a physical and non-physical property?
Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity (e.g., color, mass). Non-physical properties, on the other hand, are abstract and cannot be directly measured or observed (e.g., beauty, morality).
Characteristic that can be observed and measured?
chemical property :D
