In this section, I want to look at a few additional types of research that are used in the study of psychopathology. These include the study of a single person in an experimental manner, research that follows a number of individuals over a period of time, research that seeks to determine how frequently a disorder is present in a population, and research involving genetics. This section will conclude with a discussion of clinical and statistical significance and the importance of replication.
