Psychology Research Projects

Any psychology students out there who need a research project?

I'm working on a new dyslexia intervention, and need somebody to do a proper study on it.

Anybody interested?

Or anybody know which university might be interested?

Hi there,

Which university depends on the type of dyslexia your intervention aims to help.

Are you in industry? I take it you're not a researcher?

I'm not in the industry.

The intervention has 2 parts (which could be studied separately if someone was looking for a smaller project)

  • A neurodevelopment therapy (based on improving the cerebellum)
    (This is already a popular therapy among parents, but has never been done in schools before)

  • A vision therapy
    (Again not been done in schools before)

Sorry, I'm just trying to get an understanding of where you're coming from (as a researcher myself). So who's devised this intervention? What's it based on? How do you have any idea that it would work? Is there a clinical/ ed. psych involved? Do you have ethical approval?

No Psych involvement at all.

I'll PM you the answer to the rest of your questions.

Hi, I'm a psychology student, doing a masters, I need to do some research, I'm not quite sure how to pm someone, but I'm a little bit interested.

Psychology students generally have to devise their own experiments and research, and I can't imagine they would want to evaluate an intervention devised with no psychology involvement at all. Why would it be suitable?
