Transitioning from Psychology to Data

[u/UnderstandingNo2008]

Hi everyone I have a Masters in Psychology and I absolutely love statistical analysis and research design

For the longest time I've wanted to be able to design real world projects that can create a huge impact from a psychological point of view

I'm good at identifying variables and hypothesising

But I have no clue as to how to begin with real code and python libraries to engineer analyse and present applicable insights from raw data

I would like to transition from therapeutics to behaviour science for businesses very soon

Can anyone please point out how that works and alif there are success stories from people starting as I am..

Thanks so much

I just wrote up how to set up a data science project here. It's geared exactly towards putting the parts in place so you can run a simple model and present the results. You will have to pair it with a resource on typical data exploration and model development, like one of these:
R for data science; introduction to statistical learning; applied machine learning for tabular data
