Course Content
The aim of the course is to deepen students knowledge of traffic and transportation psychology. Since traffic psychology uses many research methods, which psychology students are not usually aware of, the focus of the course is in methods and research practice. The objective is that a student specializes in one theoretical approach and method during the course by conducting a small scale research project. Issues like study design, data collection, data analysis and communicating the results to traffic researcher community will be covered.
