This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to independently design, conduct, and analyze psychological research studies. Building on the foundation of business psychology and methodological skills acquired in previous courses, this advanced-level course delves deeper into the intricacies of the research process. In subgroups, students will develop and conduct their own research projects, offering a hands-on application of the entire research process. They will develop a research question based on scientific literature, design a corresponding study, collect data, and analyze the results. The instructors will supervise these projects and provide guidance on scientific work during each stage of this process. At the end of the course, the students present and discuss their results during a poster conference and write a final scientific report.
