You can have a sepremely individual ‘take’ on Psychology?
The Psychology you need or want for the future?
A career path with hundreds of different routes?
or is it more personal than that?
We (staff) talk about this sometimes.
Is it critical that you find a topic of interest to you?
Does it help? Does it hinder?
Is it possible to be a Psychologist without a personal stake?
The Replication Crisis and our ongoing response - Open Science
The practice of Psychology we encourage in you!
Reflexivity and the psychologist
Reflexivity generally refers to the examination of one’s own beliefs, judgments and practices during the research process and how these may have influenced the research.
An integral part of the Qualitative ‘tradition’
Inclusive research is a term that was coined in the early twenty-first century to embrace participatory and emancipatory approaches to research with people with learning/intellectual disabilities (Walmsley, 2001)
Inclusive research embraces participatory and emancipatory approaches to research.
Its characteristics are that it:
· Is owned (not necessarily initiated) by lay people
· Furthers the interests of lay people, researchers are on their side
· Is collaborative
· Enables lay people to exercise control over process and outcomes
· Produces outputs that are accessible.
Research situated within the wider rights movement.
a slogan of the disabled people’s movement, has been applied to research as well as other areas.
“exclusivity not only touches but also contorts and diminishes all aspects of psychological science” (Ledgerwood et al., 2022, p.2).

Formalise your individual design
We use a notation system to refer to these designs:
2x2 = Two-way ANOVA. There are two IVS, the first IV has two levels, the second IV has 2 levels. There are a total of 4 conditions, 2x2 = 4.
2x3 = Two-way ANOVA. There are two IVs, the first IV has two levels, the second IV has three levels. There are a total of 6 conditions, 2x3 = 6
4x4 = Two-way ANOVA. There are two IVs, the first IV has 4 levels, the second IV has 4 levels. There are a total of 16 conditions, 4x4=16
2x3x2 = Three-way ANOVA.There are a total of three IVs. The first IV has 2 levels. The second IV has 3 levels. The third IV has 2 levels. There are a total of 12 conditions. 2x3x2 = 12.

2bx2b - Between-subjects/Factorial ANOVA
2wx2w - Within-subject/Repeated Measures ANOVA
2bx2w or 2wx2b - Mixed ANOVA
You will be using one of these (all supported by SPSS Exercises 1 & 2)
JAMOVI is a reasonable alternative to SPSS (R is even better - much more value as a skill)
