Course details
The purpose of the psychology research project is to provide students with training in developing a psychological research project. Students are required to independently undertake an investigation of a research question in psychology and to communicate the intention of their proposed investigation in written scholarly form. The research question will be of significance to an area of psychology covered by the school's psychology program and the investigation and subsequent report will be undertaken under the principal supervision of a member of the school's psychology staff. The research question to be investigated may have either theoretical or applied significance. Students must have their project proposal and ethical approval completed to the satisfaction of their Supervisor and Psychology Discipline in order to progress to Psyc20029. While this course will be graded according to the mark for the project to be completed in Psyc20029 for those students allowed to progress, those who are not successful in their project proposal will be awarded a grade of F. Students will complete an empirical project, where data are collected from, normally, human participants, or may choose to investigate a topic for which textual data are gathered, or for which various forms of meta-analytic research involving the statistical summarisation and/or interpretation of previous empirical studies is undertaken. It is a requirement of enrolment in the course that students have access to the Internet as there is a website dedicated to supporting those in the course with information and updates throughout the term.
