Introduction
In this unit you will examine research methods that will help you design studies to investigate questions about relationships and differences among a variety of behavioural and health‐related variables. You will learn when and how to use data analysis methods to summarise data, test statistical hypotheses and interpret the results for relationships and differences among variables. You will learn about the principles that underlie ethical
research, in relation to both research participants and the conduct of researchers themselves. The skills and knowledge developed in this unit will provide you with the necessary tools to critically evaluate research across a wide‐range of science‐based disciplines.
