Their work often involves designing and conducting studies, collecting data, analyzing results, and presenting their findings. They may investigate topics such as cognition, emotion, motivation, behavior, personality, interpersonal relationships, and various mental health disorders. Their research can provide insights that help improve diagnostic tools, treatment methods, and mental health prevention strategies.

Important skills for a Research Psychologist include analytical skills, communication skills, observation skills, and patience. They must have a good understanding of statistics and research design, and be able to use various tools and techniques for data collection and analysis.
