My advice is to walk very fast away from this total mess. If a mathematical
construct, model or other logical construct can not be built from all the
verbal nonsense, then it is like so much of the research in psychology and
the social sciences, where some theory is to be extracted from some data.
They absolutely have no idea of planned experimentation, or have any
mathematical abilities, barely passed intro stat but want to do research.

Judging from the quality of the statistical discussions in this forum,
I am
of the opinion that you may have been too generous in your assessment
of what they have "barely passee" in their statistical education.
Some
have studied some mathematics and have no idea about applied issues
in statistics. Others may have studied nothing, but merely used some
computer manual as their encyclopedia of statistics. Neither of those
two paths is likely to lead to much progress in the fruitful pursuit of
statistical research.
