Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

You must have successfully completed the module "Statistik 1 und Forschungsmethoden".

Inhalt:

In this seminar, you will learn how to conduct a research study in psychology; this includes: sampling the literature, developing research questions and hypotheses, designing and running a study that could test the hypotheses, collecting and analysing data, drawing conclusions and discussing their implications.
The general topic of research will be Empirical Aesthetics. For this summer semester, we plan to work outside. So, part of our work together with you will be exploring Bamberg, and finding places that might be interesting in terms of aestehtics (e.g., artworks in public space, architecture, sounds, etc.) to include them as stimuli or contexts in the research we will plan and put into place together later on.

The seminar will be in English.
