Participant goals and capabilities

This experience introduces learners to the foundational concepts of clinical, developmental, social, and personality psychology. Participants, primarily first-year university students, will explore how psychological principles can be applied to real-world scenarios. With a focus on understanding human behavior, learners will be equipped to analyze and interpret psychological data, develop insights into human interactions, and propose solutions to behavioral challenges. This knowledge can be applied to projects that require an understanding of human dynamics and behavior patterns.
