Course Description

Psychology 282E Research Methods and Statistical Analysis in Psychology

An introduction to the design, conduct, and statistical analyses of psychological research. The intent is to provide students with knowledge of how to implement and evaluate research in both laboratory and applied settings. Design and statistical analysis will be taught in the context of specific studies and data sets from correlational, experimental, quasi-experimental and qualitative research. Written research projects will be required.

Prerequisites: At least 60% in a 020-level Psychology course plus one full-course in mathematics. To fulfill the mathematics requirement, you must complete a full-course equivalent by taking Mathematics 030 or 031 (Mathematics 031 is preferred) or the former Mathematics 027, the former Applied Mathematics 020, or 023a/b plus 024a/b, or by taking two half-courses from among the following courses: Mathematics 012a/b or 017a/b, Mathematics 028a/b, Calculus 050a/b, 051a/b, 081a/b, Linear Algebra 040a/b, Statistical Sciences 024a/b. If either Mathematics 012a/b or 017a/b is selected, then either Statistical Sciences 024a/b or Mathematics 028a/b must be taken. The combination of Mathematics 028a/b and Statistical Sciences 024a/b is strongly recommended.
