PC 201 - Research Clerkship II: Statistics II

Child and Adolescent Track students will be required to engage in a systemic course of research that complements that of his or her Faculty Advisor/Mentor. In their first year, students will be paired with a faculty advisor/mentor, who will mentor the student, or research fellow, towards completion of an annual scholarship product that may culminate in their Doctoral Dissertation. Research Clerkship is a two hour weekly seminar designed to support students through this scholarly process and to teach them the scholarly inquiry skills focusing on statistical techniques and research design at both the conceptual and applied levels. Emphasis will be placed on learning to choose the appropriate statistical technique and research design for a given research question (A $200.00 fee is charged per semester of this course) Topics covered over the course of this Research Clerkship sequence will include: (1) Introduction to Statistics: Probability, descriptive statistics, sampling distributions, null hypothesis testing, mean comparisons, categorical data testing, bivariate, and multiple regression (2) Research Design: Includes both quantitative and qualitative research designs, experimental designs, quasi-experimental designs, and non-experimental design (3) Applied Statistical Methods: Univariate analysis of variance, factoria, and multifactor experimental designs (4) Developmental Research Methodology: Includes correlational, experimental, cross-sectional, and longitudinal designs (5) Advanced Statistical Methods: Mulitple regression, multivariate analysis of variance and covariance, canonical correlation, principal components, and discriminant analysis.
