Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Psychology is a science that deals with human cognition, emotion, and behavior. The aim of this course is to develop knowledge and understanding of what science is and what tools psychology offers to answer scientific questions about different aspects of human functioning. The purpose of this course is to provide students with familiarity and understanding of various research methods in the behavioral sciences so that they can: plan good research, understand the strengths and limitations of research methods, critically evaluate information about human behavior presented in both professional journals and popular media, and begin developing proficiency in professional scientific writing. The course comprises two elements: lecture and seminar. During lectures students will be introduced to basic ideas and concepts that will later be extended and explored in-depth during seminars. Due to a large number of obligatory readings, this course might be demanding in terms of both time and effort required from students. At the end of the course, students are expected to possess and apply knowledge concerning diverse aspects of psychological research methodology: scientific method and its philosophical underpinnings, different ways of conducting research, basics of experimental design, confounds and ways of dealing with them, theory of psychological measurement, problems of reliability, internal and external validity, basic notions used in statistics, as well as ethical issues involved in conducting and communicating research results. |
