Course description

Enrolment Note: This course has a delayed enrolment date and will open following the allocation of Honours streams. Students will be advised of the specific date each year when their Honours stream is confirmed and should contact the School of Psychology for further information. This advanced methodology course builds on skills and knowledge developed in undergraduate psychology courses. We will first focus on preliminary data analyses, including missing data analysis; exploratory factor analysis; and confirmatory factor analysis. The next part of the course will focus on hypothesis-testing using advanced analytic techniques, including logistic regression; mediation analyses using bootstrapping; moderation analyses in regression and ANOVA; structural equation modeling; multi-level modeling; and multivariate analyses. Emphasis will be placed on conceptual understanding of analytic techniques; statistical decision-making; conducting and interpreting analyses using SPSS software; and critical evaluation of published empirical research reports.
