Prof. Bob Fennis, University of Groningen

This high-density 3-day seminar focuses on the design, data-collection, analysis and write-up of experimental research. It is geared towards marketing, but can be applied to other empirical fields as well. It is decidedly practical in nature, giving participants a state-of-the-art overview of the approaches and methods used in the development and analysis of experimental designs, while providing many opportunities for methodological practice. In addition, the course is aimed at teaching and practicing advanced, but hands-on research skills starting with generating interesting and testable hypotheses, via designing and running studies in the lab to analyzing experimental data and reporting them in a research paper.

In this seminar, a highly interactive workshop format is adopted where we discuss and practice each of the following stages in experimentation, from research question to research paper:

Introduction: To experiment or not to experiment?

• Type of questions: causality vs correlations
• Types of effects
• Generating testable –and interesting- hypotheses

Overview and Design: What kind of experiment? 

• Between participant designs
• Within participant designs
• Mixed designs

Independent and Dependent Variables: Operationalizations

• Tasks, paradigms and measures
• Varying IV’s and moderators: manipulating states, measuring traits
• Measuring DV’s and mediators; (explicit vs. implicit measures)

Procedure:  Conducting experiments in the lab or field:

• Paper-and-pencil studies
• programming experiments in Authorware, Qualtrics, Medialab or E-Prime
• Collecting the data from the lab or field

Analysis and Results

• Importing the data in SPSS
• Testing your hypotheses: Moderation, mediation and beyond (i.e., testing mediated moderation/moderated mediation)

General Discussion:

• From results to publications
• Pitfalls and tips in pursuing a focused research program

The course is aimed at PhD students and research staff with a background in marketing, consumer behavior, management, HRM/OB or psychology and with a research agenda that they wish to pursue.

Requirements and evaluation:

Written assignment 100%

One week after the final day of the seminar, students must hand in a research proposal (no more than 3 full text pages), which should include:

• Hypothesis
• Design
• Manipulation of IV’s
• Measurement of DV’s type of analysis
• Interpretation of results

Full attendance is required to obtain the certificate.
3 ECTS will be assigned upon completion of the seminar
