IT IS RESEARCH TIME OF THE SEMESTER. Calling our Psych students in Experimental Psychology, Statistical Psychology, Undergraduate and Graduate Research or Thesis and in our other subjects which require research outputs!

Still undecided about which psychological or mental health constructs, behavior samples or variables are interesting and meaningful to explore and study? Which statistical tool will you use? Which valid and reliable instruments can help measure your variables? Which design and method will be appropriate to answer your research questions or problems? What will be your related studies and literature?
