This course is for students who would like to apply the study of statistics to a sports psychology context. In each unit, students will be introduced to a topic in sports psychology, review the existing literature behind that topic or collect their own data, and learn the statistical analyses needed to interpret and understand the findings. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis will be discussed. Other skills that this course will develop include writing lab reports, critical analysis of methodology, and research skills. We hope to have guest lecturers in the field to talk about their research and the methods that they are using. Studies that focus on female athletes and female coaches will be emphasized.

Prerequisite: Precalculus; must be taken alongside or after Advanced Statistics
