Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this research-oriented internship, students will collaboratively take on the role of researchers in environmental psychology. Working in small teams, they will design and conduct an experimental study that investigates how environmental factors—such as the presence of nature and varying levels of noise—affect psychological outcomes. Each group will select a specific outcome of interest, such as attention, stress, or social behavior, and guide their project from the initial idea to the final report.

The course involves reviewing relevant literature, developing hypotheses, designing the study, and preparing a short preregistration protocol before carrying out data collection. Students will then communicate their work through a peer presentation and a group report written in the style of a scientific article. By participating in every stage of the research cycle, students are expected to gain insight into how environments shape psychological processes while also strengthening their research skills, analytical thinking, and collaboration.

These are the course' objectives:
(1) To gain direct experience and skills in planning, conducting, analyzing, and reporting empirical research in the field of environmental psychology.
(2) To learn how to critically evaluate empirical research findings (e.g., methodological rigor, effect size, preregistration, confounding factors in experimental research).
(3) To gain insight into topics related to environmental psychology, such as the influence of environmental factors (e.g., urban noise, natural environments) on psychological outcomes.
