Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This lab course extends the basic research and data analysis methods introduced in 2101(3) and 2102(3). Topics in this course include intermediate research methods (e.g. computer-aided research design and literature search, construct validity), intermediate data analysis methods (e.g., analysis of variance and partial/multiple correlation techniques for selected experimental and non-experimental designs), and current issues in social science methodology. The lab component provides opportunities to design, execute, analyze, and report the results of behavioural research, and emphasizes the use of computers in research design and data analysis (e.g., the use of such statistical packages as BMDP, SAS, and SPSS). This course is required of all students in the Psychology Honours program.

Requisite courses

PSYC-2102 [prerequisite(s)]; PSYC-4100L (must be taken concurrently).

Restrictions

Honours Form Required.
