Description

In this video lectures we talk about data description, testing hypotheses, statistical power and effect sizes. We introduce statistical methods and how to choose right method. The methods described cover t-test to structural equation modeling and extensions to multilevel and mixture modeling. We talk also how to report the method used, the used data and results.

Learning outcomes

Targeted learning outcomes: Students are more conscious how to analyse their survey data and which is the essential information to report.

Additional information

Completion mode: Online lectures. After the lectures there will also be group work sessions where the methods of the articles will be analyzed.

Study materials

Learning materials: Video lectures.
