Course program - Last names A-K
This course is designed as an introduction to methods and statistics used in psychological research. Topics will include an introduction to the scientific method, an overview of experimental design and correlational research, and an emphasis on measurement and error, experimental control, descriptive statistics, statistical inference, scientific writing, and ethical issues in empirical research. The following data analysis techniques will be discussed: multiple regression, hierarchical regression, analysis of covariance, analysis of variance, post-hoc multiple comparisons, relative importance of the predictors. Students will learn how to use a software for analyzing psychological data and how to prepare a research report using APA publication style.
