This document provides the project brief for a social psychology group project worth 40% of the PSYC 0103 course. The project has three components: creating a video clip incorporating class concepts, a written report on the clip, and a presentation of the clip. It aims to help students recognize connections among concepts and perspectives in psychology and other disciplines. Students must undertake a literature review exploring significant texts and current trends. The report should demonstrate the development of thinking throughout the unit. Learning outcomes include understanding critical analysis, being a lifelong learner through self-reflection, demonstrating critical conceptual thinking, and developing collaborative and communication skills. Students will be assessed on their ability to reflect, analyze, and develop arguments in designing and reporting on the video clip.

Project Brief
Background:
In the early 20th
century, Social psychological movements revolutionized
research influenced by the philosophies of academic application. The
approach was to create minds that changed social spaces and influenced
people’s behaviors. These ideas continue to influence the way social
psychology is being taught today.
Your Task:
This project consisted of 3 components which include making up a video
clip by incorporating the concepts learned in class, written report of the clip
and presenting the clip to the class. This project allows students to
recognize and identify the connections among concepts and perspectives
within psychology and with other disciplines. This project allows students to
engage in psychological inquiry and become self-regulated learners.
.
You are asked to undertake a Literature Review. This should include -
although not limited to - the exploration of significant texts, and current
trends and practice.
Driven by an iterative process of analysis, reflection and evaluation of your
conceptual analysis, the report should demonstrate the development of your
thinking throughout this unit. Your argument should provide hypotheses,
concepts or project ideas for implementation.
Students need to set their own professional goals and targets, including
strategies and methods, details about timelines and resources, and
methods of evaluating their achievements.
APA Referencing system should be used as appropriate throughout all
submitted elements of this unit.
