Frequency Table - GCSE Psychology Definition

Reviewed by: Raj Bonsor

Published

A frequency table is a way to organise and display data so it is easy to understand. It shows how often an event occurs.

In GCSE Psychology, you might use a frequency table to see how many people choose each answer in a survey. For example, you could make a list of how many students in a class say they feel happy, sad, or okay on a given day. Each feeling would be a category in the table, and next to it, you would write the number of students who chose that option. This helps you see patterns and make sense of the information quickly.
