Aberystwyth Psychology Students at the Welsh BPS Conference

Psychology Students with their supervisor Dr. Verena Pritchard

Three third year honours students in the psychology department presented their research findings from their dissertations at the British Psychological Society Welsh Branch Annual Student Conference, held at Glyndwr University on May 4th. The three students (Jenni Blenkoff, Lucy Pollard & Vesela Hristova) supervised by Dr Verena Pritchard have researched important issues in cognitive and social psychology. The students involved were required to submit abstracts for consideration to the BPS organisers that summarised their key research objectives and findings in 150 words. The students have all had these accepted for the conference and their abstracts will also appear as publications in a later journal edition of proceedings put out by the BPS. The titles of Jenni’s, Lucy’s and Vesela’s submissions are detailed below.
