Aim
The Winter School is designed in response to the ongoing debates about methodological challenges in psychology and behavioral sciences, which have multiple implications for theory building, psychometric measurement, and data analysis. Our goal is to introduce participants to the most recent advancements in meta-research, offering them both theoretical insights and practical tools to address these challenges and conduct methodologically rigorous research. Also, we aim to enhance participants’ collaborative networks by encouraging discussions of their research projects with international teachers and peers to establish new collaborations
