• PS-M80 Generic Research Skills - Research Methods in Psychology

  This module will give students the foundation research methods skills necessary to understand, design and execute research in psychology, and to interpret and report research results. The approach is a focus on research practices that improve transparency and reproducibility. The skills developed in this module include: generating research hypotheses, causal inference, internal and external validity, construct validity, survey methods and questionnaire design, experimental setting and web-based data collection, ethics and fraud, statistical power and research reproducibility, systematic review of the literature, meta-analysis, writing research reports and communication skills (e.g., conference presentations, poster design), single-case methods, and service evaluation/audit. The module comprises of 2-hour weekly lectures. The module will assess how students apply these skills in critical analyses and a research proposal containing the rationale and the methods sections for the students¿ MSc dissertation. By the end of the module, students will have acquired knowledge of the journey from a research idea to data collection, presentation of findings, and journal submission. Students will be asked to read the content provided for personal work and to reflect on the range of research methods. Finally, the role of teamwork and collaborative work in research will be discussed. Instruction will be carried out through seminars, practical exercises, assignments, and discussions.

• PSY319 Independent Research Project

  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.

• PSY319W Prosiect Ymchwil Annibynnol

  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.

• PSY354 Behaviour Change: Health, Organisations and Advertising

  In recent years, commercial (businesses, advertising companies) and public sector organizations (healthcare providers, governments) have embraced various psychological techniques known as `behavioural insights¿ to implement behaviour change at various levels. But what makes behaviour change effective? How easy or hard is it to change behaviour within a population or an organization? And how does media portray causes of good and bad behaviour and solutions to change what needs to be changed? This class will discuss how theories of behaviour change have evolved: what differentiates models that have stood the test of empirical evidence and those that were `out-data-ed¿. It will examine what it means to achieve effective behaviour change in the domains of public health, organizational culture change, and consumer behaviour (advertising). The class will include practical exercises and case studies on how to design effective behaviour change interventions regarding public health issues or behaviour change interventions in the organizational domain.
