Univariate Statistics I is a 4 credit course (3cr
graduate) that introduces basic statistical procedures used by psychologists
and other behavioral scientists. These procedures include analysis of variance (ANOVA)
simple and multiple linear regression, chi-square, and tests subsequent to ANOVA.
Psyc209/609 is required for all Psychology majors and minors, and for all
first year psychology doctoral students. Students are expected to abide by
the Honor
Code.
Psyc209 previously was numbered as Psyc212, and is the same
course. Consequently, credit will not be awarded
for both courses

- Course Objectives
-
Understanding experimental design and statistical analysis is fundamental to
psychology, whether students' ultimate goals are in applied psychology (e.g.,
clinical, industrial), basic psychological research (e.g., social, developmental), or
in related fields (e.g., social work, physical therapy). Psyc209 prepares
students to
1) better comprehend results presented in journal articles and research reports, 2)
conduct statistical analyses for methodology courses as well as independent research,
honors theses, masters theses and dissertations, and 3) to think critically about
studies reported in the media or at work.
