The aim of the lectures is to familiarize students with the general idea of selected advanced methods of data analysis that are used in psychological research. The classes are intended to prepare students to better understand scientific publications in the field of psychology, thanks to the ability of interpretation of the results of advanced statistical analyses presented in them. During the lectures, the analyses will be presented in an accessible way, without the mathematical details. Students will get acquainted with exemplary descriptions of the results of analyzes in scientific publications. The scope of topics corresponds to the current analytical trends in psychological scientific publications.
The aim of the practical classes is to acquire the ability to conduct mediation and moderation analyses using the PROCESS macro for SPSS and to conduct selected statistical analyses using the RStudio software, based on the R language.
