<p>In this module students will explore how the brain works, including an introduction to the brain, neural structures and neurons. We will investigate the history of biological psychology and consider key questions, such as whether
parts of our brains serve specialised functions and if there are individual differences in brain structure, associated with handedness, for example. We will also investigate how our understanding of brain function informs
our understanding of selected areas of human and non-human cognition and behaviour.</p>

<div class="module-list-module-details-abstract">
<p>In this module students will be introduced to some of the key concepts included in the study of Social Psychology. Students will explore a range of basic social psychological theories that have been developed to explain our
engagement with others such as how attitudes develop; how aggressive or altruistic behaviour can be explained; and how our identities influence the ways we view, and are viewed by, others. This module will also consider
how the mere presence of others can change behaviour, for example, how individual behaviour changes in a crowd. Students will also examine how cognitive processes influence our impressions of people, how attitudes
form and how these can lead to negative attitudes towards specific groups, which in turn influences behaviour towards group members. Students will be required to apply these conceptual issues to examples taken from everyday
life and explain how relevant concepts can explain individual behaviour within a social setting.</p>

<h3 class="h3 module-list-module-details-title">Quantitative Research Methods and Individual Differences</h3>
<div class="module-list-module-details-abstract">
<p>This module advances the concepts of quantitative research methods that were introduced to students at Level 4 using the study of individual differences. You will obtain a sound knowledge and understanding of traditional areas
and prominent thinkers in the areas of personality and intelligence theory, before moving onto more specific areas of psychology where the differences between individuals has been researched. Alongside this, you will obtain
a proven ability to use a variety of research methods appropriately. Specifically, you will learn how to design, conduct and interpret appropriate experimental and quasi-experimental investigations of a range of individual
differences variables. You will also develop an ability to elementary scale development for the testing of individual differences within psychology.</p>
<p>On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:</p>
</div>
<div class="module-list-module-details-full">
<ol>
<li>Design, conduct and report psychological research using quantitative methods.</li>
<li>Examine and assess the complexity of measuring individual differences.</li>
<li>Choose, analyse and interpret a variety of quantitative tests in the study of individual differences by using specialist software (SPSS). </li>
</ol>
<p>This module will examine how individual differences (Part 1) have been researched in psychology, and focus upon the quantitative research methods (Part 2) appropriate to examining this. The following are examples of indicative
content:</p>
<p><em>Areas of individual differences:</em> The content of this part introduces students to the areas of Individual Differences. Students will have an introduction to the psychodynamic and humanist approaches to personality and
they will learn about trait approaches to personality. Moreover, they will learn about learning and cognitive approaches to personality, such as Learning Theory and Cognitive Approaches to Personality, including theories
of Skinner's behaviourist learning theory, Bandura's social learning theory and Kelly's personal construct theory, and more. Students, will develop a knowledge on the main theories of intelligence and intelligence testing,
including the concept of 'g' compared to the idea of multiple intelligences; and they will be able to describe the development of intelligence testing and show awareness of the role of intelligence theory in the development
of intelligence testing. Furthermore, they will learn about individual differences in health and illness (and how to design studies on this), and measuring health (and issues with this). The area of individual differences
in cognition is also covered in this module. Students will understand some of the history of individual differences in cognition research and be familiar with the psychometric approach to studying individual differences
in cognition. Moreover, they will be familiar with individual differences in working memory (e.g. working memory span) and in perception (e.g. face perception). The last unit of this module focuses on the psychology of
religious belief, including an overview of the terms used, some of the main research findings, and some of the main theories</p>
<p><em>Quantitative methods: </em>The content of this part builds up on the quantitative foundations provided on Level 4 research module (Research Methods and Analysis; RMA).<em> </em>The first unit of this module, it is a revision
of statistical methods (e.g., inferential statistics, parametric/non-parametric tests, etc) that students learnt at Level 4 research module (RMA). The remaining units, focus on advanced statistical techniques, including
One-Way Independent ANOVA, Factorial Independent Measures ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis Test, One-way Repeated Measures ANOVA, Factorial Repeated Measures ANOVA, Friedman’s ANOVA, Factorial Mixed ANOVA, Linear Regression, and Multiple
Regression.</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Basic scale development and other development:</em> Methods of systematic review and how this relates to scale development, measures of reliability and validity, wording and item creation, data reduction, reliability analyses
(e.g., Cronbach’s Alpha). Also, students should identify and address ethical considerations in an area of individual differences.</p>

<p>In this module students will be introduced to some of the key concepts included in the study of Social Psychology. Students will explore a range of basic social psychological theories that have been developed to explain our
engagement with others such as how attitudes develop; how aggressive or altruistic behaviour can be explained; and how our identities influence the ways we view, and are viewed by, others. This module will also consider
how the mere presence of others can change behaviour, for example, how individual behaviour changes in a crowd. Students will also examine how cognitive processes influence our impressions of people, how attitudes
form and how these can lead to negative attitudes towards specific groups, which in turn influences behaviour towards group members. Students will be required to apply these conceptual issues to examples taken from everyday
life and explain how relevant concepts can explain individual behaviour within a social setting.</p>

<p>In this module students will be introduced to some of the key concepts included in the study of Social Psychology. Students will explore a range of basic social psychological theories that have been developed to explain our
engagement with others such as how attitudes develop; how aggressive or altruistic behaviour can be explained; and how our identities influence the ways we view, and are viewed by, others. This module will also consider
how the mere presence of others can change behaviour, for example, how individual behaviour changes in a crowd. Students will also examine how cognitive processes influence our impressions of people, how attitudes
form and how these can lead to negative attitudes towards specific groups, which in turn influences behaviour towards group members. Students will be required to apply these conceptual issues to examples taken from everyday

<h3 class="h3 module-list-module-details-title">Research Methods and Analysis in Psychology</h3>
<div class="module-list-module-details-abstract">
<p>The purpose of this module is to provide students with an introduction to the key principles underlying research methods in psychology. Students will be taught the need for systematic research methods and will explore the relationship
between theory and data in both quantitative and qualitative research. Students will learn key principles in research design and will engage in and evaluate the practical aspects of generating quantitative and qualitative
research data. Students will learn how to analyse quantitative and qualitative data and how to report the findings of simple psychological studies in a standardised format.</p>
<p>On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:</p>
</div>
<div class="module-list-module-details-full">
<ol>
<li>Identify the purpose and principles of psychological research.</li>
<li>Design simple psychological studies that are ethically sound.</li>
<li>Analyse, report and interpret qualitative data.</li>
<li>Analyse, report and interpret quantitative data using statistical software (e.g. SPSS)</li>
</ol>
<p>This module will provide information on the basic foundations of psychological research methods which will be further developed within subsequent modules. The module content focuses on a number of areas of research design and
types of analyses in order to help students achieve the module learning outcomes, these may include</p>
<ul>
<li>Types of research design (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods)</li>
<li>Ethical Considerations required for psychology research</li>
<li>Qualitative methods: Epistemology, methods (e.g. Type of Interviews, Focus Groups, Grounded Theory, Case Studies, Discursive, Thematic Analyses), approaches (e.g. realist, social constructionist), </li>
<li>Quantitative methods: Design (e.g. experiments, observational studies, surveys), predictive hypotheses, types of variables, types of samples, Levels of data measurement; Descriptive statistics (e.g. Central tendency, skew
and kurtosis, assessing assumptions of normality, calculating z-scores, Type I, II errors,), probability, testing significance, effect size, alternative techniques (e.g. Bayesian inference)</li>
<li>Basic inferential analyses of parametric and non-parametric data relationships and differences (e.g. correlations, Chi square, <em>t</em>-tests, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks)</li>
<li>Conducting, reporting and interpreting both qualitative and quantitative research results using a standardised format</li>
</ul>
