Additional Information

  • Having completed my studies in psychology with a focus on research methods, I gained valuable experience in a variety of approaches to both collecting and conducting research. I became proficient in experimental design, which involves creating controlled environments to test hypotheses. I also learned about correlational analysis, which allows researchers to explore relationships between variables without implying causation.
  • Furthermore, I delved into the use of case studies, which provide in-depth insights into specific individuals or groups, and I developed skills in crafting surveys that can gather qualitative and quantitative data. My training also covered comprehensive data collection techniques, which are crucial for ensuring the reliability and validity of research findings.
  • In addition to these methods, I acquired a solid understanding of statistical analysis, which is essential for interpreting data and drawing meaningful conclusions. Lastly, I engaged in qualitative analysis, enabling me to explore complex social phenomena through non-numerical data. This combination of skills has equipped me to approach psychological research with a well-rounded and informed perspective
