Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this course is the development of a concept for an empirical bachelor thesis. The overarching theme of the scientific reading seminar offered here is the different perceptions of rare events when they are described (e.g., rain forecasts) or (not) experienced (e.g., side effects of vaccinations). This phenomenon from decision research, also called the "description-experience gap," has implications for our behavior and decisions on socially relevant issues and consumer decision-making.

In the course, students will (1) actively engage with a specific research topic and acquire the literature on that topic, (2) develop an applied research question from it and formulate hypotheses, (3) operationalize the research question and hypotheses, (4) plan a study in small groups, and (5) write a research concept.
