Objectives of the Course | |||||
The aim of this course is to provide psychology students with the statistical methods necessary for analyzing research data, and to enhance their ability to apply these methods correctly, interpret the results, and report them. The course covers regression models, analyses of variance (one-way, factorial, and repeated measures ANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), non-parametric tests, and power analysis. Students are expected to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience by conducting applied analyses using SPSS software. |
