Psychologists rely on the scientific method primarily **to ensure that all data are collected correctly**. The scientific method provides a systematic, organized, and objective approach to research, allowing psychologists to gather empirical evidence, test hypotheses, and draw reliable conclusions about human behavior and mental processes. This rigor helps in minimizing bias and ensuring the validity and reliability of their findings.
