Course Objective
The aim is to enable graduate students to grasp advanced statistical methods necessary for the scientific research they will conduct, to select analyses appropriate for quantitative research designs, and to gain competence in data analysis, reporting, and interpretation using computer-based statistical programs (SPSS/AMOS/LISREL, etc.).
Course Content
Data types and hypothesis testing in scientific research; descriptive statistics and data visualization; parametric and non-parametric difference tests; correlational analyses (correlation and regression); validity and reliability analyses in scale development and adaptation processes; multivariate statistics (ANOVA, MANOVA); Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA); and an introduction to Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
