I'm a bit confused on the Debates in Psychology section of Issues and debates. I know that there's the ethnocentrism, 'Is Psychology a Science?', social control and nature vs nurture... but how much detail do we need to know these in? Also, will we need research to back each up for and against?!

In the book it says you need to be able to give a study as an example. I would talk about the method and then give an example. So for example with lab experiments if I had to describe it I would say it's done in an artificial environment with tight controls over extraneous variables. The IV is manipulated to measure the effect on the DV and participant variables such as fatigue are controlled. An example of a lab experiment is loftus and Palmer which was done in an artificial setting and the IV is changing the word in the questionnaire and the DV is the speed of the car.
