Empirical Research Project - "In Your Face": Exploring Emotions Through the Analysis of Facial Expressions (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Lea Boecker

Termin:
wöchentlich | Freitag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 5.109 Seminarraum

Inhalt: In this seminar we will focus on social cognition and facial emotional expressions. In small groups, students will learn how to measure facial reactions using electromyography (EMG) and artificial-intelligence -based video analysis tools. They will dive into research on social cognition and emotions by running their own experiments. This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant empirical literature of social and cognitive psychology, (2) identifying a research question, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs in applied psychology, (5) applying an empirical research design, (6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project, (7) collecting data, (8) analyzing the data, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.

Empirical Research Project - Working time and mental health (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Anne Marit Wöhrmann

Inhalt: The course "Empirical Research Project - Working time and mental health" will enable students to experience all steps of a research process in applied psychology research, addressing a research question within the topic of working time and mental health. Topic: Working time is a hot topic: New laws force organisations to track their employees' working time, the EU discusses a right for non-availability during non-work time, the idea of a 4-day-work-week is hotly debated, and the COVID-19 pandemic brought a huge shift in working time flexibility initiatives. In this empirical research project seminar, we will examine research questions centering around questions regarding working time and their relation to employees' mental health. Different, self-chosen research questions can be addressed within this empirical research project, such as the role of long working hours for exhaustion, of shift work for work-family conflicts and sleep or of work time control for well-being. Course: This course consists of the following 10 parts: (1) discussing relevant literature of work psychology and organizational behavior research, (2) identifying a research question, (3) deriving hypotheses, (4) getting to know research designs in applied work psychology, (5) applying a survey design, (6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project using a survey, (7) collecting field data, (8) analysing the data using SPSS, (9) evaluating the results, and (10) presenting the findings.

Empirical Research Project in Applied Psychology (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Franziska Kößler

Termin:
wöchentlich | Mittwoch | 10:15 - 11:45 | 14.10.2024 - 31.01.2025 | C 40.220 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Work confronts workers with various demands. Some of these demands even force them to cross personal boundaries (e.g., when workers face health threats on a daily basis or have to violate personal principles). In small groups, students will examine how workers cope with such extreme demands and which resources they need to cope with them. For that purpose, students will conduct a daily diary study. This course consists of the following ten parts: (1) discussing relevant literature of occupational health psychology (2) identifying a research question (3) deriving hypotheses (4) getting to know research designs in occupational health psychology (5) applying a diary study design (6) implementing and conducting an empirical research project using a daily diary study (7) collecting field data (8) analyzing the data (9) evaluating the results (10) presenting the findings
