Admission and Unit Information - Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Psychology

The unit introduces students to a community of research scholars. It allows them to complete a specialised piece of individual research in an area of interest in psychology. Students work closely with supervisors to conduct research and produce a written thesis of 10,000 words. Formulation of the research proposal is supported by training activities such as Honours colloquia.

The aim of this unit is to develop students' awareness, understanding, and critical appreciation of the research process; epistemological frameworks of research; the appropriate interpretation of research data; ethical issues in the conduct of research; and the social, economic, and political context of research. Skills will be developed in the use of quantitative and qualitative research designs, methods, and analysis techniques to address research questions in psychology and the behavioural sciences.

Theory and Practice of Psychological Assessment and Intervention has been designed to develop practitioner competence by providing you with both relevant practical as well as theoretical input regarding the administration, scoring, and interpretation of some of the more frequently used standardised measures within an assessment context. In this unit, the scientific and ethical underpinnings of psychological testing and assessment are initially advanced in order to provide a general context for the employment of standardised psychological tests. Emphasis will then be placed on familiarising you with i) the processes that practitioners go through during a testing session and ii) current research employing the standardised tests presented in this unit. The unit will provide you with a foundation in psychological testing and assessment, allowing you to make informed use of some testing data and psychological reports. A further aim of the unit is to familiarise students with the principles of evidence based practice in psychological interventions.

The aim of this unit is to develop students' awareness of contemporary problems and research endeavours in psychology; to foster a critical appreciation of the research process through analysis of recent applied research; to foster a sense of belonging to a research community; and to increase understanding of theoretical developments within a number of areas within mainstream psychology. Skills in the verbal and written presentation of critical appraisals will also be developed.
