{"ModuleCode":"PL3282C","ModuleTitle":"Lab in Attitudes","Department":"Psychology","ModuleDescription":"This first half of the module will explicate different methods and paradigms in social psychology with attitudes and persuasion studies. The course aims to provide students with a broad overview of methodologies as well as a deeper understanding of the important issues in attitudes research at the same time. For the second half of the module, students will carry out group projects, applying their knowledge to conducting research. They will have hands-on experiences at different research stages, from how a research question is formulated, operationalized and investigated, to data analysis, result presentation and writing-up.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-0-3-4-3","Prerequisite":"PL1101E, PL2131, PL2132 and PL3235","Types":["Module"],"Lecturers":["See Ya Hui Michelle"],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"b118a74c-3ffa-4d6d-97ea-488f5aa080ce","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"PL3282C","CourseName":"LAB IN ATTITUDES","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 1","CourseAcadYear":"2015/2016","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1435939200000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2015-07-04T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1449331140000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2015-12-05T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"Y","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"See Ya Hui Michelle","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"ab644dd6-0915-4500-8fef-4c40f49cb099","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":true,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":false,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":false,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"298197a2-5347-4fab-8ef8-45b5100b6dd1","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"See Ya Hui Michelle","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"ab644dd6-0915-4500-8fef-4c40f49cb099","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"1e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Learning Outcomes","Description":"Students taking PL 3282C should acquire knowledge of methodologies as well as a deeper understanding of the important issues in attitudes research. In summary, my goals for you in this class are for you to acquire:

\n2.) hands-on experience in applying such knowledge to conducting research.
\n
\n*In the upcoming semester, we will focus on four general themes in attitudes:
\n(a) values-based persuasion
