This course introduces the process of scientific research in the social and behavioral sciences and the fundamental role research methodology plays in our understanding of human behavior and social affairs. Students will explore the principles, ethics, and methods of social science research (correlational research, observational and survey methods, experimental and quasi-experimental design, variable control, secondary data analysis, and interpretation of results). Students will become familiar with the ways social scientists communicate their research to other scientists by writing a formal research paper.
Note: Note: To ensure students success it is strongly recommended that students complete PSYC 341 before enrolling in PSYC 342 or that they enroll in PSYC 341 concurrently with PSYC 342. See CRIM/SOC 342..
