Please provide a brief description of your workshop
	Please bear in mind that the workshop description should be understandable for first-year BA students who had an introductory course on quantitative and qualitative research. Max. 300 words
This workshop is a direct continuation of the Computer Lab session in Research Methods 1 and is meant for students who intend to expand on their skills in using this software. Students will get individual guidance on how to produce certain statistics in SPSS, specifically addressing measures of association (expanding from Pearson’s R into Cramer’s V, Spearman’s rank correlation, etc.), multiple regression analysis with dummy variables, and factor analysis. Different from the Research Methods 1 Lab Session is that this follow-up will use real large-scale survey data. This means that in addition to the techniques above, we will also cover access to specific data portals and data cleanup for use. For this, we will dip our toes in using SPSS Syntax as well.


What are the methodology and/or methods that the workshop will cover?
	Max. 100 words
•	Access to large scale social survey data
•	Data preparation
•	Measures of association
•	Multiple regression analysis
•	Dummy variables
•	SPSS Syntax
•	Factor Analysis

To participate in this workshop, students will need to prepare the following material(s):
	Do students need to read material, prepare exercises, watch videos before the workshop? Please provide a list of the mandatory material(s). If students do not need any preparation in advance, please indicate so.
You must have completed the Computer Lab Session in Research Methods 1. If necessary, revise those materials before the workshop. Students who have taken Research Methods before 2018/2019 are advised to consider one of the other workshops on offer instead, or get in touch with Jeroen ahead of time for a quick refresher.

Most importantly, students need to have access to SPSS before the workshops starts. This can be arranged either through Athena Desktop / Student Desktop Anywhere, by using a trial version of SPSS available from the IBM website, or by purchasing the software (e.g. through Surfspot). Any of those options should work for our purposes, but students might choose differently based on their plans with the software in the longer term.

 
At the end of this workshop, students will have obtained the following skills:
Keep in mind that students will submit a research proposal at the end of May for an empirical research project that they will carry out in June. They might choose to work with the specific method or methodology that you teach in the workshop. However, some of the students might not do so and you should inform them about the general skills you teach that could be beneficial in any kind of quantitative and/or qualitative research project. Max. 100 words
•	Access real large-scale survey data through data repositories
•	Produce several measures of association in SPSS
•	Produce multiple regression analysis with dummy variables in SPSS
•	Produce a basic factor analysis in SPSS 

How will your workshop be offered? Please describe what online platform you will be using and how the session will be planned
	e.g., 1h of live lecture on Zoom followed by 1h exercise or homework, prerecorded lecture, on/offline exercises, etc.
There will be a brief pre-recorded introduction that will be made available ahead of time. Students are then invited to work on exercises independently while Reine and Jeroen are available for additional explanations and feedback.
