Psychology Student Survival Guide Continues To Impress

Online, July 6, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Based on his experiences as a student and then a lecturer in the subject and drawing on the content from his psychology website David Webb has put together a survival guide for psychology students.

When asked about the thinking behind the Psychology Student Survival Guide, Webb stated that "In producing the guide I kept one main thought in mind; namely, if I was to go through my psychology education again - beginning when I first started considering studying the topic, right through to graduation and beyond - what information and resources would I most like to have at my disposal?

A major factor in ensuring the usefulness of the guide was the fact that throughout its development psychology students were asked via the main website and psychology facebook page what topic areas they would like to see included and why. Among the most common issues raised by many students were concerns over having to carry out a research project, and the need to be able to employ and understand statistical analysis. As a direct result of this feedback, a dedicated section of the guide was designed to show that research methods and statistics in psychology is something that should be embraced rather than feared.

As well as including high quality student driven content and resources, a major strength of the guide lies in its structure and ease of use. Material is presented chronologically as far as the time line of a typical psychology student is concerned (general interest, undergraduate, graduate). In addition, a detailed contents section at the beginning of the guide allows users to quickly locate the information they require.

The following quote from a psychology student and regular guide user is representative of the positive feedback the guide attracts and also serves to demonstrate why the guide has quickly established itself as a must have resource.

"I am currently studying the Psychology of Criminal Behavior. The Psychology Student Survival Guide is an excellent resource to have. It will help me a lot with my, assignments, reports, essays etc. Thank you so much for creating this resource; it's a joy to read. Looking forward to the new additional sections of the guide in the future." (Liza, Ireland).
