LEAD 871 - Quantitative Research Methodology

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Organizational Leadership

Description:

This course is offered as part of the research methods curriculum for the PhD in Organizational Leadership at Eastern University. The intellectual focus of this course is the presentation of statistical models for estimating causal effects of variables. The model of an effect is a conditional mean (though we might imagine other effects). The notion of causality is the effect of one variable on another holding all else constant. This research class provides students the opportunity to examine processes and experiences involved in designing, conducting, and reporting quantitative research studies relevant to selected problems in the social sciences. The course examines experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs using quantitative methods. We examine assessments of reliability and validity, and use of descriptive and inferential data analysis. LEAD 740 is a prerequsite to this course.
