Centre for Applied Psychological Research
The Centre for Applied Psychological Research was established in 2003, and
consists of four main research groups within the School of Psychology.
- The Forensic Psychology Research Group
- The Work & Stress Research Group
- The Lifespan Development Research Group
- The Counselling/clinical Research Group
The centre aims to conduct high quality psychological research designed to elucidate and promote well-being, quality of life and effective functioning in individuals and organisations in the community. We are also involved in looking at strategies to deal effectively with social and psychological problems arising at both an individual and a systemic level. We envisage conducting research that will be of value, for example in dealing with stress, distress, life changes, anger and a range of problem behaviours.
