The purpose of this subject is to introduce students to research methods and data
analysis techniques within psychology. Students will first learn about the scientific
method and research approaches used by psychology researchers. They will then learn
how to design research projects, focussing on how to generate research ideas, formulate
testable hypotheses, develop ethical research protocols, and appropriately recruit
samples of participants. Students will also learn how validity and reliability issues
can harm research and the steps they can take to avoid these problems. Additionally,
students will learn how to analyse research data, using basic descriptive and inferential
statistics, in the statistical package SPSS. The emphasis will be on understanding
statistics at a conceptual level and knowing how to apply them appropriately, rather
than on their mathematical calculations. Finally, students will be shown how to present
research findings appropriately.
Passing requirements: complete and submit at least 80% assessment items; achieve a
cumulative score of at least 50% after the application of any penalties such as late
penalties.
