The aim of the course "Basics of Statistics" is for students to acquire the fundamental principles and methods of statistical analysis of empirical data in various areas of psychology. Students should gain the skills necessary for correct interpretation of the results of statistical analyses and be able to present these results in accordance with APA format. Note: This course does not aim to cover data analysis methods necessary for evaluating more complex data situations or to optimize the application of statistical methods depending on the specific data situation. These advanced aspects of statistical analysis are the main focus of the course in the subsequent master's study. Acquired knowledge: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

Students will be using their own laptops during the instruction. Please install the jamovi Desktop software in advance (note, not jamovi cloud!), which is freely available for all common OS on the website https://www.jamovi.org/download.html. Please choose the latest solid version (suitable for most users). Currently, it is version 2.3.28 (Last updated on 2.10.2023). If you have not previously worked with similar software, I recommend at least casually familiarizing yourself with the documentation available in English here https://docs.jamovi.org/. Due to the number of students and the time constraints of the course, it will not be possible to address software installation and technical problems during lectures. If you are unable to install the software even after utilizing all other available information resources, please contact the instructor well in advance of the lecture. Last update: Dlouhá Jana, Mgr.
