Bibliography
- The PS934 Psychology Research Project is a research dissertation with a maximum of 10,000 words, written up as a research report. The dissertation reports the results of an original psychological research study carried out under the supervision of a staff member. There are a wide variety of topics that you can opt to research. A good research report looks like an psychology study reported in a peer-reviewed journal (e.g., Cognitive Neuropsychology, Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology). Thus its organisation should follow the standard format of the articles in such journals. It is a time-consuming task to collect data and write a good research report, so allow yourself plenty of time for this important piece of work.
