Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The goal of this course is to develop a concept for an empirical bachelor thesis.

Topics include beliefs and choices in the context of nutrition, digital maturity, and non-zero-sum beliefs in the context of consumption reduction. Literature examples for each area are listed below.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 and formulate hypotheses, (3) operationalize the research question and hypotheses, (4) plan a study in small groups, and (5) write it up as a concept.
