Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The aim of the proseminar is to develop your understanding of scientific psychology, scientific thinking and communication.

Are you interested in aesthetics from a psychological point of view? This class may be the class for you!
Through the scientific literature we will explore questions such as: Why do people become more attractive after some beers? Can visiting a museum really improve your well-being? Can listening to music reduce your stress in the exam period?

We aim to cover the different class topics with the help of one review article and one empirical paper that gives the opportunity to discuss critically a selected empirical study’s research question, methods, and statistical analysis.
The class will start with 4 foundational sessions. The following sessions will be dedicated to in-depth discussions, based on the scientific literature. For these classes, groups of students will present the literature of that week as a starting point.

Methods: lecture, active participation, group presentation of a selected topic, writing of a peer-review and a short paper.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Understand scientific psychology, scientific communication, how it feels to be a working scientist
• Discuss, explain several topics in aesthetics, perception, and beauty
• Summarize, evaluate research papers
• Read papers critically (what is missing? What could be next steps?)
• Give academic presentation
- Work with others in a group
- Structure presentation content
• Construct a short academic paper
- find, compare different research papers
- prioritize arguments
- discuss previous findings, and criticize their methods
- formulate new research question, hypotheses
- address you research question with empirical methods
- use scientific reference style (APA 7th)
