Introduction to Research Methods
Experimental Design and Control
This lesson introduces doctoral students to the fundamental concepts and principles of experimental design in psychological research. The class focuses on the importance of designing experiments that establish causal relationships between variables and minimize potential biases. Through a combination of lectures, group activities, and discussions, students explore key concepts such as independent and dependent variables, control groups, random assignment, and the manipulation of variables.
