After a short introduction to meta-analysis as a research method, we will
deal with a selection of (published) meta-analyses covering various topics from the (very broad) realm of individual differences.

The Experimental Research Project is a course that provides students with knowledge and experience of the full experimental process—from deriving a research question in the domain of psychological research, designing and planning the empirical study, to conducting the study and analyze its results. Students in this practical course will work in small groups on planning the experimental design and setup, preparing the experimental materials, conducting the studies, analyzing the collected data, interpret the results, and write-up of the study.

Psychosis is characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations (e.g., hearing voices) and delusions (e.g., the firm belief that others are persecuting you). Traditionally, psychotic disorders were regarded as purely medical and neurochemical conditions that could not be understood psychologically. This view has changed over the past 20-30 years, and there is now a variety of psychosis-specific psychological models, research methods, and treatment options. For example, we now know that affective states as well as cognitive biases can predict (subclinical) paranoid thoughts, and that cognitive-behavioral interventions can help improve psychotic symptoms.
After a general introduction (e.g., what is a mental disorder), students will present papers on topics, such as the role of self-worth, worrying, or sleep in paranoia. There will be practical aspects throughout: during the first half of the seminar, you will get to know and try out different diagnostic tests and interviews; during the second half of the seminar (when you are familiar with several psychological models), we will develop and conduct a small "self-experience" study within the seminar in which we apply what we have learned to about potential precursors of subclinical psychotic experiences.
