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 and Major programs in Psychology and Mental Health Studies, and the Specialist/Specialist Co-op program in Neuroscience Cognitive stream. Students in the Minor program in Psychology will be admitted as space permits.
