Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

FOR SABINE PAHL (focus Environmental Psychology):
The aim of this seminar is the successful completion of an empirical Master's thesis in Environmental Psychology or a related topic, e.g., Environment and Health. The seminar will take place in a digital format. We will meet for the first time on Wednesday 10.03. 16-17:30, (either via zoom or moodle big blue button -> instructions will be posted on moodle) to discuss aims, student ambitions, content and next steps. The content of the seminar is closely linked to the thesis, consisting of initially exploring the relevant literature, then pitching research questions, methods and developing hypotheses. At later stages we will discuss data analysis and interpretation. The format will consist of group work, presentations, discussions and written work, to maximise feedback during the development of ideas and practical stages of the research.
