2023 GAMMA WORKSHOP
Experimental Design and Analysis Workshop:
Theoretical and Practical Guide for Experimental Research
July 22, 2023
Lotte Hotel Seoul, Seoul, Republic of Korea
1. Instructor:
Associate Professor. Dr. Jungkeun Kim
Auckland University of Technology (New Zealand)

2. Course objectives:
Experimental methods have recently received considerable attention in a variety of disciplines, including marketing, tourism and hospitality management, and management information systems. Experimental methods have been used frequently in academic literature in order to provide stronger empirical evidence of causal relationships between constructs. Empirically establishing the causal relationship between independent variables (IVs) and dependent variables (DVs) in an experiment is based on manipulation of IVs and randomization.
The purpose of this short workshop is to help post-graduate students and young scholars to understand the nature of experimental design and analysis and to develop skills in designing effective experiments and analyses. This workshop covers (i) why researchers conduct experiments; (ii) key elements of experiments (IVs, DVs, moderators, and mediators); (iii) how to design and execute multiple experiments more effectively; (iv) how to analyze mediators and moderators in experimental research, mainly with Hayes’ method; and (v) recent developments in experimental design and analysis.
3. Learning outcomes:
This workshop is designed to familiarize participants with basic and advanced applications of experimental methods in academic research. The objectives of this course are to provide a methodological introduction to experimental work and the analysis of experimental data. On completion of the workshop, participants will understand the following topics:
- Fundamentals of experimental methods in research
- Fundamentals of manipulation and measurement
- Powerful and effective experimental design
- Analyzing experimental data using Hayes’ method
- Recent developments relating to mediation and moderation issues.
This course has been designed for post-graduate students and young scholars who are interested in learning how to use experimental methods in their academic research. A basic knowledge of experimental design and statistical analysis is helpful, but not required.
4. Teaching and learning methods:
- The course is based on the textbook:
- Hayes, A. F. (2017). Introduction to mediation, moderation, and conditional process analysis: A regression-based approach. Guilford Press.
- Presentations: The session will cover theory and its application.
- Computer exercises using the latest Hayes’ macro with hypothetical experimental data sets.
5. Registration and practical issues:
- Conference participants should express their intention to attend the 2023 GAMMA Experimental Design and Analysis Workshop by sending their intention letters to the organizing committee (gammacentraloffice@gmail.com).
- 2023 GMC at Seoul: https://2023gmc.imweb.me/
- Tuition: Free for all participants who register the 2023 GMC at Seoul
- Bring your laptop computer with SPSS installed.
- Download and install Hayes’ Process Macro from http://www.processmacro.org/ before coming to the workshop. Participants will receive detailed instructions during the workshop.
