Rwy'n wyddonydd data seicolegol sydd â diddordebau ymchwil mewn canfyddiad wyneb, argraffiadau cyntaf, atyniad a barnau iechyd, problemau iechyd cymhwysol, modelu ystadegol, a diwygio methodolegol mewn seicoleg. Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn defnyddio technegau cyfrifiadol modern i ddeall ymddygiad dynol mewn amrywiaeth o gyd-destunau o safbwyntiau damcaniaethol a chymhwysol.
Modiwlau israddedig mewn esblygiad ac ymddygiad dynol a seicoleg gymdeithasol feirniadol. Modiwlau ôl-raddedig mewn rhaglennu, casglu ystadegol, ac arferion gwyddoniaeth agored.
The research module will involve constructing and executing a substantial research project, usually conducted in connection to an abnormal and clinical research topic/theme. Previous research projects have spanned various applicable clinical settings linked to NHS trusts, mental health charities, forensic units and topics generated by academics based within the department of psychology. We also encourage students who come to the program with connections as a consequence of previous professional experience, to undertake projects that are linked to interests they have already established.
Recently, psychology has undergone a replication crisis, meaning many established results are not statistically robust, compromising the integrity of psychology as a science. This module provides a comprehensive overview of these issues and introduction to reproducible analysis workflows. Students will learn to use the general purpose programming language Python, utilising it to manipulate, model, and visualise their data, and ensuring that their research reports are accurate and transparent
Students conduct an independent research project under the supervision of a member of staff. The research topic is decided in conjunction with supervisors and Research topics. Students must design, conduct, analyse and write up a piece of research in order to achieve Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society (BPS). They must also complete an Ethical Considerations Form, showing that they have considered and resolved ethical issues relating to their project, and that they have implemented appropriate best practices for improving the reproducibility of their research.
Mae myfyrwyr yn cynnal prosiect ymchwil annibynnol dan oruchwyliaeth aelod o staff. Penderfynir ar bwnc yr ymchwil ar y cyd â goruchwylwyr a phynciau Ymchwil. Rhaid i fyfyrwyr ddylunio, cynnal, dadansoddi ac ysgrifennu darn o ymchwil er mwyn cyflawni Sail Graddedig ar gyfer Siarter gyda Chymdeithas Seicolegol Prydain (BPS). Rhaid iddynt hefyd lenwi Ffurflen Ystyriaethau Moesegol, gan ddangos eu bod wedi ystyried a datrys materion moesegol sy'n ymwneud â'u prosiect, a'u bod wedi gweithredu arferion gorau priodol ar gyfer gwella atgynyrchioldeb eu hymchwil.

This module examines human behaviour through the lens of evolutionary theory, considering how challenges faced by our ancestors have shaped our thinking and behaviour. The module will first build an understanding of evolutionary theory and how it differs from traditional approaches to psychology, with a focus on the role of natural and sexual selection. We will then examine how these selection pressures have shaped a range of human behaviours. There will be a primary focus on attractiveness and mate choice, altruism and moral emotions, human signaling systems, personality, and competitive behaviour. We will explore and find answers to important questions such as why we find certain people attractive, how relationships are formed, why we help others, and how our appearance signals aspects of our fitness.
