This course will cover social psychological research methods. The purpose of this course is to (1) teach you how to turn an idea into a good research question and then create rigorous research studies to answer your question, and (2) expose you to a variety of basic and advanced research techniques in social psychology, including but not limited to: experimental, behavioral, observational, survey, field, physiological, and archival/big data methods. We will discuss mediation, moderation, and meta-analysis and consider cross-cultural research, research ethics, and open science practices. The material you will learn in this course will allow you to design and evaluate social psychological research.
