Annotation
The course provides an overview of important methods of empirical research. Students learn basic theories and methods that are relevant in planning, conducting and evaluating experiments. They learn to analyze, critique, and independently develop experimental designs. The course covers, for example, the development of a research question, formulation of scientific hypotheses, sample selection, calculation of statistical power, the difference between correlative and causal relationships, and the relevance of experimental research to test the latter.
Exemplary studies from decision research are analyzed and discussed with respect to experimental design.
The workload of the course is 4.5 ECTS. This consists of exercises, smaller presentations by the students during the semester, as well as the preparation of the examination at the end of the semester.
The number of participants is limited. Places are allocated via the Wiwi-Portal. Course language is German.
