RESEARCH REPORT 2004

Qualitative Research in Psychology

During the 2004 academic year, the Department of Psychology saw four book chapters being published, as well as 18 full-length papers in professional journals. Regarding the book chapters and journal articles, the content areas were very diverse, ranging from traumatic brain injury in sports through to organizational development in African cultures, right-wing authoritarianism regarding prejudice amongst heterosexual males and a range of cross-cultural studies including cognitive assessments, land invasion and discourses of culture and illness.

In addition to the subsidisable publications, there were also eight publications in various formats such as on-line information sites and review articles in a wide range of publication outlets, all of which are of a high professional calibre. Nine staff members presented papers at national and international conferences during the year and there was a further presentation of five workshops at professional meetings.

One of the Department’s staff members (Mr D Painter) proceeded overseas (University of Crete, Greece) during his study leave and Professor R D Schweitzer from the Queensland University of Technology spent some time in the Department as a distinguished visitor.

Overall, given high teaching loads and very large postgraduate school commitments, the Departmental profile reflects an active research endeavour on the part of its staff members.

The Department has 27 Master’s and PhD students registered for 2005, and 12 of the 2004 cohort will be graduating this year.
