Applied Social and Developmental Psychology (PHDE0079)

This module aims to enable students to explore topical real-world issues in contemporary society, for example: screen time amongst young people, bullying in schools and ageism. Each issue will be covered from a social developmental approach, drawing on both Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology and the integration and interaction between these two core disciplines. This module is designed to help students to consider how a social developmental approach can help address real world issues. There will be an applied focus throughout the module, covering how social developmental theory and research can inform interventions aimed at tackling real world issues. The module aims to build on prior knowledge of Social Psychology and Developmental Psychology to understand the integration and interaction between these two disciplines; and to offer an applied focus, by addressing evidence-based interventions grounded in a social developmental approach.

Qualitative Research Methods for Management (MSIN0046)

This module will introduce students to qualitative research methods that are widely used in organization and management studies, including ethnography and observation, case studies, and grounded theory building, among others. Instructors will draw on their experience and behind-the-scenes from published work to provide students with insight in the practice of doing qualitative research. As part of the module, students will be required to engage in qualitative data collection and analysis.

The course will be conducted as a seminar (10x3-hour sessions). Students are expected to discuss and critique the assigned readings. There will be a strong emphasis on practical involvement in doing qualitative work, involving practical guidelines for data collection and analysis, insights in the process that led to published work, and hands-on activities. As part of the coursework, students will be asked to generate qualitative data and analyse these data using a range of methods.
