| Course Title: Laboratory in Social Psychology: 'Social Perception and Binary Decision Making' |
| Start Date: 09/03/2025 End Date: 12/16/2025 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2025 |
| Description: Every day we encounter binary decisions including: did we recognize the person, did we get accepted for a job, did the customer order an appetizer? Each of these decisions have two response options, which makes traditional analyses difficult. In this course, we will use Signal Detection Theory to better understand how these binary decisions can be analyzed and understood. This course will investigate how we perceive the world and how binary decisions can be interpreted. Students will learn how to design a binary decision study, analyze it, and how to communicate their findings. |
