Research and Statistics in Psychology
Open Stats Lab (OSL) is a resource for the teaching of statistics. OSL is a website that provides links to articles published in Psychological Science, their associated open data sets, as well as assignments for undergraduate students. In these assignments, students use the open data sets to perform analyses that match those reported in the original articles. Open Stats Lab uses the actual data from recently published papers (accessed via Open Science Framework). These data sets provide students with a richer and more interesting learning experience. By using open data, students can increase their sense of statistics efficacy when the analyses they perform exactly match those reported in published research articles. It contains activities that cover analyses typically taught in undergrad stats, including t-tests, correlation, regression, one-way ANOVA, and factorial ANOVA. OSL activities are for undergraduate-level courses, yet they are also appropriate for grad students wishing to shore-up their analytical skills. Each activity provides data in both SPSS and .csv formats.
