| Goals | The objective of this course is to provide students with an applied understanding of the basic statistical concepts, data analysis methods, and the use of statistical software (e.g., SPSS, JAMOVI) used in quantitative research within the psychology of religion. It aims to equip students with the skills to accurately analyze research data, interpret findings, and report them according to scientific standards. |
| Course Content | This course covers the role of statistics in social sciences, particularly in the psychology of religion. Topics include data types, measures of central tendency and dispersion, normal distribution, hypothesis testing (t-test, ANOVA), correlation, simple and multiple regression analysis, factor analysis (EFA), and reliability analysis. The theoretical logic of each analysis method is explained, and practical applications are conducted using statistical software with sample datasets, followed by an examination of the reporting processes in APA format. |
