This seminar provides an essential overview of experimental research methods, with a particular focus on experimental design in the social sciences. As social scientists seek to understand cause-and-effect relationships in human behavior, experimental methods offer a powerful tool for isolating variables and testing hypotheses in controlled settings. This session will explore the core principles of experimental design, including randomization, control groups, manipulation of independent variables, and the importance of internal validity. Through examples and discussions, participants will gain a foundational understanding of how well-structured experiments can generate reliable, generalizable insights that contribute meaningfully to social science research.
