Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to provide students with the theoretical understanding and practical skills required to apply statistical methods in psychological research, analyze data using JASP, interpret results accurately, and communicate findings in APA format while developing critical thinking about the role of statistics in psychology and society.
Course Content In this course, you will be introduced to the basics of statistics for psychology. We will extensively explore the use of statistics focusing largely on conceptualizing and interpreting statistical inferences within psychology. In this course, we will cover basic topics in statistics including hypothesis testing, t-tests, analysis of variance.
Course Methods and Techniques Face to face instruction in English language will be performed through power point presentations. In addition there will be lab sessions.
