PSY-2001: Methods and statistics in psychology II Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
The subject is based on PSY-1002 and is a more advanced course in quantitative methods and statistics. The course material emphasizes research designs, measurement methods, descriptive and inferential statistics.
| Contents
Students will learn about the various parts involved in the research process to increase their knowledge and skills in carrying out their own research projects. Students will learn to formulate a clear approach to the problem, formulate hypotheses, design, choose adequate methods for measurement and evaluation, methods for collecting data, analysis and interpretation of data. The course will also focus on how to perform statistical analyses, by including practical excercises in descriptive and inferential statistics using statistical software. Parts of the lectures will be problembased, by learning what kind of designs and analyses to choose for answering various kinds of research questions.
The course is closely related to the PSY-2002 course (Bachelor-thesis). By writing a research paper, the students are expected to demonstrate applied knowledge in methods, analysis and interpretation of the data. The students choose themselves the subject for their paper.
| Form of teaching
The course is made up of three parts. Firstly, a general introduction to the research process and the use of psychological methods. The main part will focus on methods within various areas of applied psychology. The last part constitutes practical exercises in statistical software (SPSS), as well as a shore course in how to write a paper.
