Course description

This course builds on aspects of psychological research design covered in PSYC2010. It extends one-variable designs to designs involving multiple independent variables. It includes experimental designs with two or more independent variables or factors (including both within and between-participant factors), correlational research designs in which two or more predictors are used to predict a criterion, and research designs involving multiple categorical or discrete variables. Methodological issues associated with the use of these designs in psychological research will be explored. For example, lectures will cover design-related confounds, measurement issues, and other interpretational concerns. In addition, the analysis techniques appropriate to these designs will be addressed, focusing especially on factorial analysis of variance and multiple regression. Students will gain experience in computer-based analysis using available statistical packages.
