DISSERTATION
The experience of preparing a dissertation contributes to
the development of a scientific attitude.
Such an attitude is of great benefit to professional practitioners,
who are expected to consistently
apply scientific knowledge and critical, scientific thinking
to clinical issues. The dissertation project
also promotes systematic integration and application of academic
knowledge. As students
apply the results of their research to significant questions,
they advance knowledge in the field,
while learning to become critical consumers of empirical
research.
Through the dissertation process students are expected to
demonstrate in-depth knowledge of
an area relevant to the professional practice of psychology
as well as the ability to think critically,
integrate and evaluate research and theory, work independently
and clearly communicate ideas
to members of profession. Ultimately, the project is expected
to make a significant contribution
to the field of psychology and to be of publishable quality.
