PSYC09H3: Applied Multiple Regression in Psychology
An introduction to multiple regression and its applications in psychological research. The course covers the data analysis process from data collection to interpretation: how to deal with missing data, the testing of assumptions, addressing problem of multicolinearity, significance testing, and deciding on the most appropriate model. Several illustrative data sets will be explored in detail. The course contains a brief introduction to factor analysis. The goal is to provide the students with the skills and understanding to conduct and interpret data analysis in non-experimental areas of psychology.
Priority will be given to students in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Psychology, Mental Health Studies, and Neuroscience (Cognitive stream). Students in the Major/Major Co-op programs in Psychology, Mental Health Studies, and Neuroscience will be permitted if space permits.
