Description:
Measuring behaviour is a non-trivial activity. The techniques that are required to measure behaviour accurately and reliably are frequently glossed over in research methods training courses.
This workshop will focus on the methods and wider considerations associated with systematically observing and recording behaviour. Many of the principles and techniques apply to non-human animals as well as humans.
The workshop is orientated to researchers working in fields such as psychology, anthropology and human sciences.
Course Timings: 11:00 - 16:00
Researchers at any career stage are welcome.
The workshop is orientated to researchers working in field such as psychology, anthropology and human sciences, but will showcase techniques that are also relevant to collecting non-human data.
