This is the first of two courses that contribute towards the Psychology Honours Project. The overall project will involve an individual piece of research in a selected area of psychology in which information concerning an approved topic is gathered, organised, analysed and discussed in a critical and evaluative manner. The research requires advanced knowledge of research methodology and appropriate techniques for analysing data.

This course enables students to develop evidence-based skills through the completion of a research project. Students are required to decide on a topic; submit an ethics application and research proposal; commence their review of the literature; begin the operational phase of their research; and submit a progress report at the end of the semester.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. formulate a research question and/or hypotheses based on previous literature in the chosen field;
2. determine an appropriate methodology that will address the particular research question and/or hypotheses;
3. select and/or develop any materials necessary for the conduct of the project (e.g., surveys, interviews);
4. Identify ethical issues inherent within the chosen project and address these issues in a manner that is consistent with Australian Psychological Society guidelines and the National Statement of Human Research Ethics via gaining ethics approval or an exemption for the proposed research project.
