In this exciting Psychology programme with UEA, Ispa and Birkbeck, students will get the chance to learn more about psychological research by being participants in a live experiment that is tackling a cutting-edge topic relevant to brain processes in late adolescence.
Session 1: Thursday 9 October, 11.10-12.00
Session 2: Thursday 13 November, 11.10-12.00
Session 3: Thursday 29 January, 11.10-12.00
Session 4: Tuesday 3 February, 15.45-16.30
Across four interactive sessions taking place during the 2025-2026 academic year, Dr Inês Mares, Professor Marie Smith and Dr Gareth Edwards, will ‘pull back the curtain’ on the research process to highlight the issues that must be considered and addressed in order to design, conduct, analyse and interpret studies with human participants that are theoretically important, ethically sound, and empirically robust.
What is the project focusing on?
In the research project, we will characterise different elements of social behaviour during this developmental period (late adolescence) and explore how they can be influenced by different factors in our daily lives. We will look at the interplay between individual traits (internal factors) and external environmental factors on shaping social behaviours that are key for our role in society.
Suitable for: 16+ pre-university students studying, or with a possible interest in studying, Psychology and related disciplines. Due to the nature of the research involved, this is limited to 16 to 18 year old students. Student groups as well as students and teachers joining individually are very welcome.
