Program Description
The Psychology Department offers MA and PhD programs. Students may select Behavioural Neuroscience, Lifespan Development, or Social/Personality as their focus. Both MA and PhD programs are characterized by active faculty collaboration within and across areas and by both basic and applied research. Both programs have a part-time option. The PhD program offers special opportunities for students to individualize their learning experience through a choice of apprenticeships, a choice of methods courses, and a choice of electives, including independent study courses.

Fields of Specialization

Behavioural Neuroscience
Behavioural neuroscience integrates concepts and methods from biology, chemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and psychology in the study of the neurophysiological and neurological underpinnings of behaviour. The basic tenet of the field is that behaviour ultimately reflects brain function and that understanding brain function helps us to understand behaviour. Research in behavioural neuroscience may occur on a number of levels of analysis, ranging from the single cell to the whole organism. Individual students will specialize in a particular area but must also learn to appreciate the concepts and methods related to other focal areas and other levels of analysis. Students can gain experience working with neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, electrophysiological, neuropsychological, and behavioural methods. Current research involves behavioural pharmacological studies of major neurotransmitter systems (cholinergic, glutamatergic, dopaminergic, and their role in the production of vocalization and initiation of locomotor activity in rodents, the effects of stress on brain development and sensitivity to drugs in rodents, and the role of hormones in human and animal behaviour). Brock researchers use a variety of electrophysiological and behavioural techniques to investigate, for example, the physiological basis of sleep, the consequences of sleep deprivation, the neural correlates of normal and disrupted attentional and memory processes, developmental and age-related change in cognitive and emotional function and their psychophysiological correlates, neurophysiological correlates of certain personality traits, and the long-term sequelae of closed head injury. A strong interdisciplinary team has formed the Brock Institute for Electrophysiological Research to help advance this field within neuroscience.

Lifespan Development
From birth to death, development is shaped by changes both within the individual and in his or her environment. Our program emphasizes development through the lifespan studied from social, emotional, cognitive, and/or neuropsychological perspectives. Particular emphasis is placed on the theoretical and practical implications of measuring change over time in the contexts of normal development and decline as well as atypical processes. Laboratories are available for the study of infant cognitive and perceptual development, parent-child interactions, children's peer relationships, play patterns in children, childhood aggression, adolescent lifestyle choices, and resilience in children and youth, youth engagement, adolescent learning disabilities, and the neuropsychology of normal aging, as well as atypical age-related decline. Current research involves special populations in the community from infants to older adults. Close links with faculty in Behavioural Neuroscience allow interested students to work towards an integration of neurological and experiential factors that help shape development throughout the lifespan. Brock University also enjoys strength in its Faculty of Education and interdisciplinary Department of Child and Youth Studies. Opportunities to engage in developmental research may be available through the Centre of Excellence for Youth Engagement and the Youth Lifestyle Choices - Community University Research Alliance (YLC-CURA). In addition, faculty are involved in the Brock Research Institute for Youth Studies (BRIYS), a multidisciplinary initiative involving faculty across the university engaged in youth-related research. These associated departments and research initiatives provide unique opportunities for research and thesis collaboration.

Social/Personality
Social psychology has been traditionally associated with a situational approach to human behaviour, whereas personality psychology focuses on relatively enduring individual difference factors. The social/personality group at Brock is involved in a broad range of research projects that investigate these traditional approaches as well as the synergy between the person and the social situation. Research interests of the social/personality faculty at Brock range from basic research issues to applied psychology. For example, several members of the social/personality group are involved in positive psychology and the study of social issues. Broadly, the notion of "positive psychology" is based on the belief that psychology is not simply the study of pathology, weakness or "risk factors", but is also the study of strength, creativity and resilience. Faculty involved in positive psychology research at Brock study phenomena such as the meanings and consequences of forgiveness, attachment, intimacy, the influence of a positive orientation toward one's own health, imaginative absorption and openness to experience, and the meaning of resilience in the face of stress and disadvantage. Faculty conducting social issues research are focused on topics such asaddictions, social justice, coping with traumatic events, and sexual health. Faculty are also currently pursuing research in the structure of personality, sexual orientation, prejudice and intergroup relations, psychopathy and forensic psychology and states of consciousness. This diversity of research topics is complemented by an array of methodologies for investigating social/personality issues, including reaction time methodologies, observational techniques, qualitative methods, archival research, and longitudinal designs.

Master of Arts

Program Objectives
The objectives are to provide intensive research training in the fields of Behavioural Neuroscience, Lifespan Developmental Psychology, and Social/Personality Psychology and to develop an appreciation of the scientific basis of psychology and the skills necessary to systematic examination of basic or applied issues in the field of interest. Many graduates will pursue further training at the doctoral level; others will be prepared to work in a wide variety of occupations in which an appreciation of the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological basis of psychology is of value.

Normally, those admitted to the MA program have the option of proceeding on to the PhD program when the MA criteria have been met and formal permission to proceed has been granted. Students apply via an internal paper application.

For full-time students the program is normally six terms (two years).

Admission Requirements
Successful completion of an Honours Bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in Psychology or Neuroscience with a minimum overall average of B+. An empirical Honours thesis, or evidence of similar research is required. Scores on the Graduate Record Examination, both General and Psychology sections, must be submitted.

Students applying at the MA level should indicate on their application whether they intend to pursue graduate studies through to a PhD so that their application can be considered in the context of their academic goals.

The Graduate Admissions Committee will review all applications and recommend admission for a limited number of suitable candidates.

Please note that, in any given year, admission to a particular field of study depends, in part, on the availability of supervisory and teaching resources.

Part-time study is available.

Students applying to the MA program with backgrounds other than Psychology or Neuroscience
In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of Psychology, the Admissions Committee will consider applications from students holding degrees in allied fields. To ensure that such applicants have a background in psychology adequate for successful completion of their graduate program, the following additional requirements for admission to the Master's program have been established. Applicants must first be sponsored in writing by an appropriate potential research supervisor from within the Department. Applicants must have completed an undergraduate thesis in another discipline that involved empirical research of scope and complexity comparable to that of an undergraduate Psychology thesis.

Degree Requirements
In addition to the thesis (PSYC 5A90), basic degree requirements are the completion of the courses listed below. All students are also expected to attend Departmental colloquia. Students will consult with the Graduate Program Director and their thesis supervisor when planning a program of study.

Doctoral Program

Program Objectives
The objectives of the PhD program in Psychology are to develop a high level of research expertise and the capacity for assuming a critical and scholarly approach to basic and/or applied issues in the fields of Social/Personality, Lifespan Development, and Behavioural Neuroscience. The program adopts a skills-based approach, ensuring that students have access to hands-on training in basic research, teaching, and applied areas that will prepare them well for a broad range of post-graduate situations. They will build on the experiences acquired at the MA level by developing further the skills needed to achieve independent responsibility for learning, for seeking out and integrating relevant information from a variety of sources and perspectives, for achieving depth of understanding in a specific area of expertise, and for making original contributions to knowledge. Depth of knowledge is fostered through the research seminar course within the student's area of interest in addition to his or her dissertation research. Breadth and integration are achieved through the advanced study and professional issues courses and attendance at the Departmental colloquium series. The required methods course provides the foundation for advanced statistical and methodological skills in preparation for thesis research. The acquisition of applied and job-related skills is facilitated through the completion of one of three apprenticeships from among teaching, research, and community options. All PhD students have the opportunity to serve as teaching assistants in each year of their program.

For full-time students the program is normally twelve terms (four years).

Admission Requirements
Successful completion of a Master's degree, or equivalent, in Psychology or Neuroscience. Students must have achieved an A average in the previous two years of graduate study and must provide evidence of research competence, normally demonstrated by a Master's thesis. Scores on the General Graduate Record Examination (unofficial test scores up to 10 years old may be provided) must be submitted.

Note: internal MA PSYC applicants apply via the internal application form. The OUAC web application is not required.

The Graduate Admissions Committee will review all applications and recommend admission for a limited number of suitable candidates.

Please note that in any given year admission to a particular field of study depends, in part, on the availability of supervisory and teaching resources.
