PSY 1309 - MIXED METHODS LAB IN MENTAL HEALTH

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description In this course, students will be introduced to mixed methods research in psychology. Mixed methods research consists of combining statistical trends (quantitative data) with participants' stories and personal experiences (qualitative data) to provide a better understanding of a research problem than either type of data alone. A primary aspect of this course will be to teach students a) how to determine if mixed methods are necessary given their problem statement and research questions, b) the advantages and challenges of using mixed methods, and c) how to design a mixed methods study. Undergraduate students will develop an independent research proposal, collect, and analyze data to test a mixed methods research question, and write an APA mixed methods paper. Graduate students will conceptualize and design a mixed methods research study and write a research study grant proposal.
