To learn the basic concepts in psychology and the theoretical and practical approaches used to study them (e.g. basic observation and interview techniques). |
|
| 4) |
To acquire the methods and skills to access and write information using English as the dominant language in the psychological literature, to recognize and apply scientific research and data evaluation techniques (e.g. correlational, experimental, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, case studies). |
