Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The objective of this course is for students to learn how to conceptualise and design an effective empirical study, and to evaluate how the results will advance theory. Through a combination of seminars, collaborative discussions, and assignments, students will:
- Develop practical skills for designing and conducting psychological experiments.
- Familiarize themselves with various data collection and analysis techniques commonly employed in psychological research.
- Enhance their critical thinking and analytical skills for interpreting research findings and drawing valid conclusions.
- Foster collaborative research skills through group discussions, projects, and peer feedback.
- Learn how to produce a registered report, and finally (at the end of TEWA 2) a thesis, adhering to established scientific guidelines and ethical considerations.

The desired outcome of this course will be for students to develop new insights starting from a classical decision-making task: delay of gratification.
