PSY 370 - Psychological Research Methods I

4 Hour(s)
Required for the psychology major, students in this course will learn and practice various aspects of research development. Students will gain experience conducting studies and analyzing data using a variety of research designs (such as experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, and nominal), approaches (such as survey, experimentation, and naturalistic observation), and statistics (such as t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA, Pearson’s r, and Chi-square). Students will also learn about research ethics. In the laboratory component, students will pose a question, investigate the literature, develop methodology to answer that question, and submit their research to the IRB for approval. These experiments will be conducted in PSY 470.
