COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Several methods of systematic data collection (e.g., judged similarity, paired comparisons, direct scaling) and analysis (e.g., consensus modeling, principal component analysis, muldimensional scaling) are explored in a hands-on computer lab and reading seminar. The ways in which these methodologies and data handling techniques bear upon basic research issues in psychology is illustrated, and differences in data structures arising from qualitative variation in subjects response data is explored. Content varies each time offered depending on Participants' interests and data.

Prerequisite: Permission of the Instructor. Course may be repeated up to three times for credit.
