• PS-M006 Psychology of Health and Wellbeing: Theory and Applications

  This module explores how individual and social behaviours, motivations and concerns influence physical and mental health. The module delves into health and wellbeing psychology, highlighting the multifaceted influences across multiple perspectives, from individual motivation, civic engagement, to wider ecological contexts. Organized around the themes of intrapersonal (individual), interpersonal (community), and extrapersonal (environmental) levels, the module examines the nuanced effects on health and wellbeing, including chronic conditions, through the lens of social cognitions, psychosocial interventions, and resilience. For example, influences on health and wellbeing are explored through the ways personal motivation and social-cognitive interventions influence health-behaviour, as well as the intricate relationship between health and the climate emergency (the latter adopting an intersectional perspective that requires moving beyond individual and social framings of health and wellbeing). Engaging with theoretical frameworks and practical interventions, the curriculum prepares students for careers navigating the complex interplay of individual behaviours, community dynamics, and environmental factors in health. This approach offers an in-depth exploration of how behaviours and the broader community and environmental contexts influence health and wellbeing, exploring specific aspects and applications as the course progresses.

• PS-M80 Generic Research Skills - Research Methods in Psychology

  This module will give students the foundation research methods skills necessary to understand, design and execute research in psychology, and to interpret and report research results. The approach is a focus on research practices that improve transparency and reproducibility. The skills developed in this module include: generating research hypotheses, causal inference, internal and external validity, construct validity, survey methods and questionnaire design, experimental setting and web-based data collection, ethics and fraud, statistical power and research reproducibility, systematic review of the literature, meta-analysis, writing research reports and communication skills (e.g., conference presentations, poster design), single-case methods, and service evaluation/audit. The module comprises of 2-hour weekly lectures. The module will assess how students apply these skills in critical analyses and a research proposal containing the rationale and the methods sections for the students¿ MSc dissertation. By the end of the module, students will have acquired knowledge of the journey from a research idea to data collection, presentation of findings, and journal submission. Students will be asked to read the content provided for personal work and to reflect on the range of research methods. Finally, the role of teamwork and collaborative work in research will be discussed. Instruction will be carried out through seminars, practical exercises, assignments, and discussions.

• PSY317 Positive Psychology

  This module will examine the exciting discipline of positive psychology, which refers to the science of positive emotions and human flourishing. The module will provide a strong theoretical and empirical grounding, allowing students to apply the science of positive psychology to their own lives, including the opportunity to gain critical life skills such as self-efficacy, resilience and creativity. Students will also develop a keen appreciation for how mental life impacts on physical health... and vice versa. Implications for clinical psychology will also be discussed. Recent controversies and debates in the field will facilitate discussions relating to the replication crisis and scientific method. Assessment will involve a research report on the impact of the positive psychology module as well as completion of an online learning module including Q&A¿s each week. The research report will involve data collection, analysis and writing up findings according to standardized single-case research design methodology. In this way, students will apply an underused methodological approach for determining objective change in single individuals, and develop practical skills applicable to many roles in the discipline of psychology, the healthcare sector and the quantified self-community.
