This course trains students to conduct and consume research in psychology. The training includes basic methodology and statistics involved in experimental and correlational research. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) as the analytical tool and experimental design as the methodological architecture for conducting experiment and quasi-experiment will be introduced. Correlation and regression will be introduced as the main analytical framework for non-experimental or correlational research together with discussions on methodological and research validity issues involved in correlational studies.

CILO-1: Demonstrate a thorough understanding of scientific inquiry and research approaches in psychology. CILO-2: Develop and formulate testable hypotheses, and apply the processes of hypothesis testing and inferential statistics to address research questions. CILO-3: Evaluate and apply principles of reliability and validity in the measurement and design of psychological research. CILO-4: Apply analytical frameworks including ANOVA for experimental research and regression methods for correlational research.
