In this section, you will learn about the chi-square goodness of fit test to analyze probabilities of a multinomial distribution.

In this section, you will learn about experimental design – a plan and a structure to test hypotheses where the researcher either controls or manipulates one or more variables. One of the simplest experimental designs is the completely randomized design. In the completely randomized design, subjects are assigned randomly to treatments. The completely randomized design contains only one independent variable, with two or more treatment levels, or classifications. In this module, you will learn how to analyze such an experiment using analysis of variance (ANOVA).

In this section, you will learn how to perform multiple comparison procedures to conduct comparisons of the groups when there are more than two levels of the independent variable. Specifically, the Tukey-Kramer procedure.

I have used this project successfully with community college students and dual credit high school students. I assign the project at the end of the first week and have regular checkpoints. Details are described as you read through the project.  

Purpose
In this chapter, you have learned about a variety of psychological disorders. Many of the disorders share similar features or symptoms, while others are significantly different. The purpose of this project is to explore the complexities of the human condition through application of the knowledge you have gained in this chapter. You are going to be creating your own version of the DSM-5 to organize the various mental health conditions you have been exposed to in this chapter.

Purpose: You’ve learned about different research methods, and you’ve been introduced to experiments and correlations. Students often have a very difficult time understanding experiments and correlations and often confuse aspects of them. The purpose of this project is to help you to understand experiments and correlations, and to learn the difference between them. Doing this project in pairs would be great! It will probably make you less likely to fall into this experiment-correlation confusion.

Psychology 2e is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for the single-semester introduction to psychology course. The book offers a comprehensive treatment of core concepts, grounded in both classic studies and current and emerging research. The text also includes coverage of the DSM-5 in examinations of psychological disorders. Psychology incorporates discussions that reflect the diversity within the discipline, as well as the diversity of cultures and communities across the globe.

The second edition contains detailed updates to address comments and suggestions from users. Significant improvements and additions were made in the areas of research currency, diversity and representation, and the relevance and recency of the examples. Many concepts were expanded or clarified, particularly through the judicious addition of detail and further explanation where necessary. Finally, the authors addressed the replication issues in the psychology discipline, both in the research chapter and where appropriate throughout the book.

Changes made in Psychology 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition. The first edition of Psychology by OpenStax is available in web view here.
