Empirical Research Project in Applied Psychology (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Franziska Kößler

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

Dozent/in: Sophia Cara Hahn, Christoph Spohner

Inhalt: In this empirical research project, the students will design and implement a psychological intervention in a real-life scenario. The course is structured as follows: 1) understanding relevant theories in the field of intervention research in psychology, 2) building a methodological foundation (basic statistics using R), 3) finding a practical setting and target group for an intervention, 4) designing and conducting a quantitative study for a real-life intervention in a chosen field, 5) the analysis of the data, and 6) reporting of the findings in a research paper.
