This semester, our Master seminar is supported by University Quality Funds (SQM). All topics available this semester include a literature review part and an empirical part. The empirical part will be an online experiment. With the help of SQM, we can offer students the following additional benefits:
Workshops on empirical research: Students will receive extensive training in collecting and analyzing quantitative data in two workshops.
Funded data collection: Students will receive funding for paying study participants
