Course Objectives

An essential goal of this course is to approach data analysis from the perspective of understanding statistics and their relationship to research. The underlying theory of statistics will be presented and content will be related to research to facilitate learning.

Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

Identify and test assumptions for statistical tests

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with one independent variable and three or more levels (aka groups)

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with one independent variable and three or more levels with confounding variable (aka covariate)

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with one group measured repeatedly with and without covariate

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with two or more independent variables with 2 or more groups with and without covariate

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with Two or more independent variables with 1 group measured repeatedly with and without covariate

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with two or more independent variables with two or more independent variables and mixed methods with and without covariate

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with two or more independent variables with one or more independent variables and the prediction of one or more dependent variables

Select, conduct and report appropriate statistics to test hypotheses with two or more independent variables with multiple Independent and Dependent Variables

Interpret reported statistical findings

Course Materials

Required Textbook

1. John J. Shaughnessy ( 2012 ) Research Methods in Psychology. McGraw Hill.

Additional Literature

2. Cronk, B. (2013). How to Use SPSS: A Step-by-Step Guide to Analysis and Interpretation. 8th ed.

Teaching Methods

Since individuals learn in different ways, varied activities will be provided to foster learning

Repetition is often key to understanding statistics, so we will spend the time to read, re-read, do assignments, redo them as needed after feedback, and reinforce your learning rather than quickly going through material

Course Policies

Academic Integrity

All work submitted must be your own. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in disciplinary action according to university policies. When in doubt about citation practices, consult the instructor.

Attendance Policy

Students are expected to adhere to the attendance requirements as outlined in the International University of Sarajevo Study Rules and Regulations. Excessive absences, whether excused or unexcused, may impact academic performance and eligibility for assessment. Mandatory sessions (e.g., labs, workshops) require attendance unless formally exempted. For detailed policies on absences, documentation, and penalties, please refer to the official university regulations.

Technology & AI Policy

Laptops/tablets may be used for note-taking only during lectures. Phones should be silenced and put away during all class sessions. Audio/video recording requires prior permission from the instructor.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage: The use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) varies by assessment component. Please refer to the AI usage indicator next to each assessment item in the Assessment Methods and Criteria section above. Submitting AI-generated content as your own work, where AI is not explicitly allowed, constitutes an academic integrity violation.

Communication Policy

All course-related communication should occur through official university channels (institutional email or SIS). Emails should include [PSY616] in the subject line.

Academic Quality Assurance Policy

Course Academic Quality Assurance is achieved through Semester Student Survey. At the end of each academic year, the institution of higher education is obliged to evaluate work of the academic staff, or the success of realization of the curricula.

Learning Tips

Engage Actively

Be prepared to contribute thoughtfully during class discussions, labs, or collaborative work. Active participation deepens understanding and encourages critical thinking.

Read and Review Purposefully

Complete assigned readings or prep materials before class. Take notes, highlight key ideas, and jot down questions. Aim to grasp core concepts and their applications—not just facts.

Think Critically in Assignments

Use course frameworks or methodologies to analyze problems, case studies, or projects. Begin early to allow time for reflection and refinement. Seek feedback to improve your work.

Ask Questions Early

Don’t hesitate to reach out when something is unclear. Use office hours, discussion boards, or peer networks to clarify concepts and stay on track.
