PSY-RSS07 Sample Size, Effect Size and Power Analysis0.5 semester credits
The goal of this Research Skills Seminar is to introduce students to power analysis. Students will learn the relationships between power, effect size, Type I and II error and sample size. The Seminar requires the use of both SPSS and G-Power statistical software. At the conclusion of the seminar students will be able to determine appropriate sample sizes for a variety of research designs and statistical analyses, and be able to write a scientifically supportable sample size estimate for a grant proposal or dissertation. Students will understand the concept of power and its relationship to effect size and sample size. Students will have a clear understanding of the difference between “effect size” and “statistical significance.”
