Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course is a gentle introduction to practical data analysis using JASP. We will be reviewing some basic methods such as correlations and regressions, as well as introducing some advanced methods such as structural equation models and measurement invariance testing. The course is aimed at developing a practical understanding and will allow students to master basic and advanced models by themselves.

The following will be covered within in the course:
• Correlation and Linear Regression
• Moderation and Mediation
• Path Analysis
• Exploratory Factor Analysis
• Confirmatory Factor Analysis
• Structural Equation Models
• Invariance

On all these topics, background information will be given, but the course focuses on hands-on examples. Further, opportunity to use own data sets and to discuss them in class will be given. Specifically, students will get an in-depth understanding of the underlying statistical model.

This course emphasizes open-source methods and data. As such we will be using only JASP and R to assess data and all of our datasets will be from open repositories of data.
No prior knowledge on latent modeling is needed, however, knowledge of basic statistic concepts (descriptive statistics, correlations, basic linear regression) is needed. We will also have a quick overview of these statistical concepts in the first few videos of the course.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Practical Arrangements: This is a self-driven, remote course. There are dates by which you have to complete all course work, however you can complete it whenever you want. You are free to work through the course materials at any time from when they are posted on Moodle until 30 May 2023. Please note that the watching of lessons, completion of quizzes, and assignments on Moodle will all contribute to your final mark.

We will have weekly voluntary online Q&A sessions on Thursdays at 09h00 to 10h30. These sessions are for you to pop in at any time during the time slots and ask any questions you may have on the material. These sessions are voluntary. The links for the zoom sessions will be posted on Moodle. In addition, you can email me at any time to ask questions.

Assignments/Lessons Requirements: You have to watch every lesson on Moodle and complete every quiz. In addition, you have to submit your assignment and essay by the deadline of 30 June 2023 at 00h00.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Grade Composition
• Quizzes and exercises (on Moodle) – 20%
• Assignment – 20%
• Essay – 60%

Grades will be converted to the Austrian 1-5 system in the following way:
≥ 90% = 1
75% – 89% = 2
60% – 74% = 3
45% – 59% = 4
≤ 44% = 5

Late submissions will be handled on a case-by-case basis, but please note you may be penalized.

In total there are exercises and quizzes on Moodle. Marks are given for every exercise and quiz. The point value of each question in every exercise is given next to the question.
