Introduction to Psychological Design and Statistics

Statistical Concepts for Science

This unit provides students with an introduction to research design and statistical analysis. In this unit, students will learn about common research methods used in psychology and related disciplines, critically analyse these methods, and be able to conduct their own analyses. Both experimental and non-experimental research methods are covered, as well as a variety of statistical tests, including t-tests, correlation, and chi square analyses.Students will learn data management techniques and appropriate methods to summarise data, including both numeric and graphical summaries. Students will also gain hands-on experience using the statistical software Stata.

Learn how to design research and use statistics in psychology. You’ll get to know common statistical techniques and software. Conduct tests, summarise data, and communicate your findings. Think about the role of research in psychological science.

This subject provides a broad introduction to statistical concepts and data analysis techniques. You will develop an understanding of statistical practice through a study of those techniques most commonly used in the sciences, social sciences and humanities. Topics covered in this subject include data collection methods, data quality, data summarisation, and statistical models such as the normal distribution, followed by sampling distributions and statistical inferences about means and proportions. Also studied are methods of analysis relating to comparisons, counted data and relationships, including regression and correlation. Statistical computer packages are used for handling and analysing data. However, no prior computing knowledge is assumed. This subject introduces vital skills for tertiary learning and explores their relationship to success in future careers.

Gain vital statistics skills for your science degree and beyond. You’ll learn how to collect, organise, and summarise data. Explore statistical models. Use statistical software. Get set for science with a rigorous framework for analysing data.

In this intermediate statistics unit, you will build upon first-year to continue your journey in both the design and statistical components of experimental and non-experimental research common to psychological science. The importance of interpretation based on both the design and statistical analysis components is emphasised in this unit, as well as the utility of research to achieve positive impact for real-world problems and make informed decisions grounded in scientific evidence. You will learn a range of statistical analyses such as analysis of variance, linear regression, and non-parametric analyses. You will apply design and statistics principles to both academic and non-academic research contexts, including the communication of findings in multiple formats to a variety of audiences. You will continue to develop your practical data analysis skills using Stata statistical software.

In this intermediate course, you’ll cover statistics used for experiments in psychological research. Discover the importance of interpretation and the power of sample size. Learn statistic methods including correlation, regression and more.
