Project Brief

Background:

In the early 20th century, Social psychological movements revolutionized research influenced by the philosophies of academic application. The approach was to create minds that changed social spaces and influenced people’s behaviors. These ideas continue to influence the way social psychology is being taught today.

Your Task:

This project consisted of 3 components which include making up a video clip by incorporating the concepts learned in class, written report of the clip and presenting the clip to the class. This project allows students to recognize and identify the connections among concepts and perspectives within psychology and with other disciplines. This project allows students to engage in psychological inquiry and become self-regulated learners.

.You are asked to undertake a Literature Review. This should include - although not limited to - the exploration of significant texts, and current trends and practice.

Driven by an iterative process of analysis, reflection and evaluation of your conceptual analysis, the report should demonstrate the development of your thinking throughout this unit. Your argument should provide hypotheses, concepts or project ideas for implementation.

Students need to set their own professional goals and targets, including strategies and methods, details about timelines and resources, and methods of evaluating their achievements.

APA Referencing system should be used as appropriate throughout all submitted elements of this unit.
