The course covers advanced statistical methods in psychological research. The course focuses on quantitative methods. Furthermore, the module provides students with skills in developing a good research design. Based on papers that present the most recent advances in research designs and methodological approaches, the students learn to understand and use the following methods: moderation, mediation; moderated mediation / mediated moderation; multi-level analyses (random coefficient modeling); growth curve modelling including dynamic mediated growth models and discontinuous growth models; lagged research designs and within- and between-person analysis.
