As part of their preparation for independent study in Sixth Form, the Year 11 Psychology students at BGS are currently engaged in a variety of projects to develop areas of personal interest within the discipline. As well as a range of secondary research and creative projects, all students are engaging in primary research studies.

The questionnaire surveys on the following pages are the result of their hard work over the past few weeks. They have had to find out how to do a self-report study from scratch, look into the ethics of psychological research and consider the need for collecting quantitive data when there is a tight time-frame for analysis, and then design their own, individual questionnaires that fit the needs of psychological research.

Their determination and application to their studies in the challenging weeks after finding out the qualifications they have been working so hard towards for the past two years have been cancelled has been impressive to see.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could take the time to fill in as many of their questionnaires as you can / are permitted to (some have age ratings), to support them in getting generalisable data to analyse and write up in their reports.

If you are interested in finding out their conclusions... a BGS eBook of their reports will be coming soon.
