| This seminar-based course focuses on the advanced study of topics in psychology. It provides cadets an opportunity for reading and analysis in depth in a topic area of interest and relevance to the study of psychology and its applications. The course employs a seminar approach in which cadets present their own analyses of the discussion topics to the group. By the end of this course, cadets will be able to conduct and evaluate research in the behavioral sciences. This course continues the themes of PL361 (Research Methods I) and introduces cadets to more varied experimental and non-experimental designs and more complex statistical analyses. Groups of cadets will conduct a research project using an experimental method in an area of their choice. Cadets who complete this course will be competent consumers of behavioral sciences research and will be equipped to use the scientific method to investigate and solve many of the problems they will face as military leaders. |
