Course Objectives: | At the end of this course, students will: • come to a level where they can independently conduct scientific research in the field of psychology. • They come to a level where they can discuss the results by writing scientific articles and interpreting the results. • demonstrate an approach to understanding people with their psychological and social aspects. • have the ability to express critical thinking in a constructive way. • they can follow the current developments in this field. |
Course Content: | The aim of this course is to provide the student with necessary knowledge and skills to conduct an independent research project. In this course students will learn how to formulate a research question, conduct literature review, present a research proposal, collect and analyze data, and write a research paper adhering to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. |
