Psychology · Boston College
This course explores research methods and emerging questions in media psychology (the study of mediated human interaction). It will focus on discussion of peer-reviewed articles in media psychology and applying those findings to a new research project. Students will design a new research question, collect data to test the hypothesis, analyze those data, and write up their conclusions. Topics will include research ethics, reliability and validity in measurement, experimental design, data collection and privacy, and how to write an APA-style research article.
