(offered second semester) Building on the foundation created in Psychology 2780, this course examines quantitative research methods for observation based on measurements, emphasizing efforts to control observation conditions. Research design paradigms include within-participant experiments, between-participant experiments, and quasi-experiments, which can be analyzed in terms of probability theory to enable using inferential statistics. The steps to statistical hypothesis testing will teach approaches and assumptions for chi-square, correlation, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. Reflections on the limitations inherent in the methodologies revisit the concepts of paradigms, assumptions, and their implications. The course includes communication of research findings using the APA format, and consideration of research ethics. Three hours a week class; one hour a week laboratory. 11-01-2022-07-04-2022 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 117
