Best Psych Research Practices

SHOW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE

Credit: 2 TO 4 hours.

Explores topics concerning the best research practices used in the different areas of psychology. Examination of recent advances in research design, analysis, and reporting will hone methodological and statistical intuitions. Students will investigate the growing literature on problematic practices, consider proposed solutions, and construct and evaluate simulations to enhance their understanding of the best methodologies so they can contribute to a more open and reproducible psychological science.

2 to 4 graduate hours. No professional credit. May be repeated up to 8 graduate hours, if topics vary.

Researchers most often use SEM to analyze latent variables, to incorporate multiple dependent variables simultaneously, to model longitudinal change, to investigate mediation and moderation, or to specify an exact conceptual model. Beyond these common uses, SEM can also be used with experimental, meta-analytic, and diary data. Parametric and nonparametric models are available. Simulation studies to estimate power with complex designs are feasible. SEM is applicable for just about any type of psychologist, and it can likely make your statistical life much easier. In this course, we will discuss how to make the most of SEM and apply the techniques to your data. We will begin with the basics of path and factor analysis, building up to more complex models. The focus will be on implementing the techniques with real data. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
