    An introduction to basic research concepts, designs, and statistical techniques used in the behavioral and social sciences. Knowledge of descriptive and inferential statistics and its application to data is applied for both non- experimental and experimental studies. Understanding of ethics in research for animals and humans is addressed. Critiquing of current published research articles and disseminating of experimental and non-experimental research is discussed. Researching published articles through the use of personal computers is demonstrated. Report writing of APA style manuscripts and presentation of a group project from data collected are required.
