Detailed Information
PSY10090 - Introduction to Applied Psychology (Audit) - 2017
The aim of this module is to provide students with an introduction to applied psychology by examining how psychology has used research to examine socially significant issues. A range of topics will be considered, for example video games and aggression, cheating in sport, bullying, self-esteem and wellbeing. The module will also use these topics to examine quantitative and qualitative research methods, and a key focus of the module is on supporting students to be confident consumers of research in journals and the popular media. Students should note that this module will include formal lectures, in-class small group workshops and a high level of participation is expected. For information on the module you can find it on Facebook by searching for the Introduction to Applied Psychology UCD page.
