Psychological Science Research Methods. My research courses have a particular focus on selecting valid psychological outcome measures, designing clinical trials, and the studies investigating the intersection between technology and mental health. Skills taught and tested through the course include: posing testable research questions and alternative hypotheses; conducting a literature search; evaluating psychometric properties of mental health measures; best practices for designing study methods; critically evaluating internal and experimental validity; critically evaluating research ethics; interpreting statistical results output; identifying methodological limitations and limits to generalizability; and translating findings to meaningful implications and future directions. By the end of the quarter, students collaboratively design a “clinical trial” group project.
