The Research Unit on Design and Analysis in Applied Psychology / REsearch MEthods and design in applied psychology (REME) is a research unit directed by Professor Dolores Frías Navarro. This research unit was founded in 1994 as a research unit within the Department of Methodology of Behavioural Sciences at the Universitat de València, and has been present since 1997 on the website https://www.uv.es/friasnav/unidinves.html. The work carried out within the REME research unit is oriented towards the development, improvement and evaluation of quantitative methods and, in particular, research design issues and statistical analyses related to the field of applied psychology research are analysed together with the reflection and study of the essential elements for the psychology professional to approach their work from the perspective of Evidence-Based Practice. Specific research areas refer to the study of statistical education and re-education, statistical cognition, causal inference, research design sensitivity and statistical conclusion validity, systematic reviews and meta-analysis (meta-analysis and network meta-analysis), meta-research and the development of new measurement tools...The Research Unit on Design and Analysis in Applied Psychology / REsearch MEthods and design in applied psychology (REME) is a research unit directed by Professor Dolores Frías Navarro.

The Research Unit has been the cohesive element of the research team members who have participated in various research projects funded by the Ministry of Education and the Universitat de València.
