PSYC14024  Psychology Research Project


The purpose of the Psychology Research Project is to provide students with training in research. Students are required independently to undertake an investigation of a research question in Psychology and to report the 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 wishing to graduate with Honours in the BPsych will complete an empirical project, where data are collected from, normally, human participants. Students not intending to graduate with Honours may also undertake an empirical project, 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 CQU World Wide Web site via the Internet.
