East Carolina University
Department of Psychology
PSYC 2101, Psychological Statistics
The major objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the basic concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics. Those students who will go on to take additional courses in statistics or research or accept employment involving research should find this course most instrumental. Many students may never engage in research, but will be consumers of research. To adequately evaluate the research reports that they will be reading for other courses or for their professional or personal advancement, they must understand the basic concepts taught in this course. Statistics can be used to distort the truth; one needs to learn how to detect such distortions. This course includes an introduction to the use of SPSS for statistical analysis.
