Course description

A meta-analysis is a quantitative research review that combines the result of several studies that test the same hypothesis. A meta-analytic review is conceptualized as a scientific inquiry involving five stages that parallel those of primary research. The five stages are: (1) problem formulation, (2) data collection, (3) data evaluation, (4) analysis and interpretation, and (5) public presentation. In this five-day workshop, we will discuss meta-analytic methods. You will also get hands on experience in conducting your own meta-analytic review.

Software

In this class we will use Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software: http://www.meta-analysis.com/The software will be available on the server webpage for our class for FREE (see link above). Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software has been developed over the past 25 years by a team of meta-analysis experts with funding from several federal grants from the U.S. government. The software is powerful, yet user friendly. It will work on either a PC or Macintosh (with PC software) computer.

Learning outcomes

- What a meta-analysis is and when it should be used- How to conduct a literature search for a meta-analysis- How to code studies for a meta-analysis- How to conduct various meta-analytic procedures (e.g., fixed vs. random effects analyses, moderator analyses, funnel plot), and interpret the results

Course description

In this course students will learn the basics of structural equation modeling, its everyday use, and its benefits in analysing empirical data. The course is aimed at developing a practical understanding and will allow students to master basic and advanced models by themselves.

The following classes of models will be covered within in the course:- Path analysis - Confirmatory factor analysis- Structural equation models (i.e., latent regression models)

On all these topics, background information will be given, but the course focuses on hands-on examples. Further, opportunity to use own data sets and to discuss them in class will be given. Specifically, students will get an in-depth understanding of the underlying statistical model and the most widely used software package Mplus among social scientists. No prior knowledge on latent modeling is needed, however, knowledge of basic statistic concepts (descriptive statistics, inference testing, linear and multiple regression, exploratory factor analysis) is required, which was covered in the first part of this course in the previous semester.

Learning outcomes

Students will learn how to interpret and how to apply advanced statistical procedures They will be introduced to new topics and learn ways to analyse and understand data beyond what basic statistical procedures have to offer.

Course description

Change is both inevitable and constant and thus has been a focus of psychological research for decades. The notion of change has been predominant in developmental psychology as by observing children’s behaviour for example we areinterested in capturing the process of their development, be it cognitive or socio-emotional. Longitudinal data are mirroring the measurement of change. We are interested in within-individual change or how person changes over time and interindividual differences or what predicts differences among people in their change. In order to capture change statistically we need: (1) the availability of multiple waves of data, (2) a metric of time, and (3) an outcome that changes systematically (Singer, & Willett, 2003). This course will introduce the concept of change and stability by usingthe statistical tools such as multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measures, multiple regression, structural equation and multilevel modelling. The students will have the opportunity to actively participate in the course byworking with the real data and pertinent research questions about change and stability processes.

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes are reflected in understanding the different meanings underlying the concepts of change and stability in psychology. Students will be able to conceive studies that will test these notions at different levels. More specifically, students will be able to understand and perform statistical procedures that tackle stability and change and interpret its results.

Course description

This course builds on and extends basic knowledge in measurement of psychological attributes. We will tackle the question what measurement in the field of psychology actually means and if it is possible at all. After (re-)visiting different measurement models, ranging from true-score theory to item response theory, we will discuss their implications for test development in general and the development of items making up such tests specifically. Special emphasis will be laid on theoretical underpinnings of test score interpretation, e.g. in clinical settings. All discussed models will be applied to data sets to demonstrate their advantages, potential, but also limitations. Throughout the course, concrete examples of measurement instruments and measurement contexts will be used in order to exemplify the theoretical contents.

Learning outcomes

Outcomes of this course are threefold: Students will be equipped with a profound understanding of most common measurement theories that are used to develop tests, the ability to practically apply these models to data, and to judge their implications on real-world diagnostic settings. The course builds up and substantially extends knowledge to responsibly apply and interpret psychological tests and questionnaires.

Requirements

Basic knowledge in statistics, test theory and related concepts, such as reliability, validity, or objectivity. Willingness to engage in philosophical debates on measurement, as well as the application of related statistical models using the programming language R (with which we assume basic familiarity). We expect students to work through provided scientific literature on the topic between the courses.

Course description

Nowadays, organizations are faced with more changes than ever before and these changes take place in closer succession. Since Kurt Lewin formulated his change model in 1951 the frequency and dynamics of organizational changes have been exploded. His stage model included the phases unfreezing, changing (transitions), (re-)freezing. However, it can be doubted whether organizations today ever come into the "frozen" state. It seems that change management today rather needs to look for meta-routines within ongoing change processes, in order to bring some stability in insecure times. We focus in this seminar on theoretically well-founded and evidence-based management of interventions at different levels in organizations (e.g., from the development of teams and leaders to transformational changes as mergers or offshoring activities). Interventions are necessary to foster organizational development by dealing with structural changes (e.g., merging of teams, implementations of new technology) as well as personnel changes (e.g., increase in the amount of temporary workers or freelancers, downsizing). Based on the most current knowledge in the field, it focuses on "hands-on"-methods for designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating real life intervention programs in organizations. Based on a constructivistic understanding of learning, students will get the opportunities, the space, and time to work out detailed project plans together in small teams using case studies. The didactic concept of the seminar includes a broad variety of classroom activities, ranging from small group work, world cafe methods, moderated group discussions, presentations, to role-plays.

Learning outcomes

- Students should gain knowledge on how to design, implement, and evaluate interventions on different levels in organizations- Students should learn about the role of different stakeholders when conducting interventions in particular when faced with organizational changes and restructurings- Students should get an idea about how leaders can be sensitized and trained to foster health of their followers as well as organizational performance outcomes as creativity and innovation- Students should be aware of various work-shop methods which are appropriate for different goals and settings

Course description

This course constitutes the continuation of the course “Adult Mental Health”, held in the preceding winter semester. We will continue to explore DSM disorders and expand the concept of case formulation. In addition, students will learn how to formalise case formulations as a structured case report, as required e.g. by the German health-care system. The assessment of this course will be the writing of a case report on a case presented by the lecturer. Full ECTS will only be awarded after successful completion of both courses, including a presentation (first semester) and a written case formulation (second semester). The final grade will be calculated as follows: 50% presentation and 50% report.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course students will be familiar with the diagnostic criteria for major mental disorders; be able to critically evaluate theory and research on biological, social and psychological factors in the aetiology and course of mental disorders; have developed an understanding of the methodological issues in evaluating treatment outcomes; be familiar with different types of and theoretical perspectives on the main mental disorders, and approaches to treatment; be able to compose a formal case report.

Course description

Health psychology is a psychological sub-discipline on human cognition and behaviour in relation to health. This lecture represents the complement to the lecture “Health Psychology A: Theories and Models”. While in the former lecture, theoretical aspects of health promotion, health risks, as well as behaviour in mental and somatic stress and diseases were addressed, in this course methods to assess psychological and biological indicators relevant for health are discussed. These methods include (a) common questionnaires for the assessment of stress, coping processes, risk perception and behaviour, personality and social factors interacting with health, (b) psychophysiological, psychoendocrinological and psychoimmunological indicators of health, stress and disease, (c) methods of prevention, intervention, evaluation and quality management.

Learning outcomes

Gain understanding of relevant questionnaire-based, psychophysiological, psychoendocrinological and psychoimmunological indicators of health, stress and disease. Develop up-to-date and critical skills in evaluating the strengths and limitations of these methods, and understand their range of application in science and practice. Acquire in-depth- knowledge in evaluating the appropriateness of health-associated measures and the effectiveness of possible interventions.

Course description

Schule ist inhärent eine soziale Situation. Soziale schulbezogene Interaktionen bestehen sowohl zwischen Personen mit gleicher sozialer Rolle (z.B. Schüler-Schüler-Interaktion) als auch unterschiedlicher sozialer Rolle (z.B. Schüler-Lehrer-Interaktion). Diese Interaktionen sind eingebettet in Schule und Schulklasse, so dass Gruppenprozesse auf die Interaktionen zwischen Einzelakteuren einwirken. Innerhalb des Kurses werden spezifische soziale Interaktionen in der Schule aufgegriffen, in einen sozialpsychologischen Theorierahmen eingebettet und mit empirischen Forschungsbefunden verbunden. Aufbauend auf dieser Betrachtung erfolgt die Erarbeitung von Interventionsmaßnahmen, die im schulischen Bereich tätige Psychologen zur Verbesserung sozialer Prozesse einsetzen können. Die Erarbeitung der Interaktionsmaßnahmen erfolgt auf Basis in der Forschungsliteratur dokumentierten Interventionsprogrammen. Die Teilnehmer sind aufgefordert, über das Studium der Manuale dieser Interventionen, Gruppenarbeiten und Rollenspiele die Fähigkeit zu erwerben, diese Interventionsprogramme durchzuführen.

Learning outcomes

Die Teilnehmer erlernen im Seminar, charakteristische soziale Prozesse im Schulkontext zu erkennen, in sozialpsychologische Theorien einzubetten und hieraus wissenschaftlich gestützte Annahmen über zukünftige Entwicklungen und Ansatzpunkte für Interventionen abzuleiten. Sie erhalten Kenntnis über ausgewählte Interventionsprogramme im schulischen Kontext und lernen, diese Programme selbstständig anzuwenden und auf spezifische Bedürfnisse der Situation anzupassen.
