What is Research & Statistics in Psychology?
Have you ever wondered how psychologists know whether a therapy works or how psychological theories are developed? The answer lies in research and statistics.
Research forms the foundation of psychology by helping us understand human behaviour through scientific inquiry, while statistics helps us analyse, interpret, and draw meaningful conclusions from research findings.
This beginner-friendly course introduces the fundamentals of research and statistics in psychology through interactive discussions, practical activities, and real-life examples. Participants will also gain hands-on experience using JAMOVI, a free statistical software widely used for data analysis.
Join us to build confidence in research, strengthen your critical thinking skills, and develop a scientific understanding of psychology.
