NAPPER Days are a great way to get your students into research.
Two full day events for Year 12 and Year 13 students provide practical experience of conducting research under the supervision of Psychology lecturers in their area of expertise. NAPPER days allow students to work in groups on their research design, ethical procedures, data collection, analysis and data interpretation. Students produce and present a conference poster to other students, teachers and Psychology lecturers.
“It’s been an excellent day. I learned a lot of new skills, such as running statistical tests and I could see how psychology is something I could go into. It was also great to see what university life is like. Waterside is like a nice, little town – Northampton is a university I would definitely consider studying at.” (Tariq Nassir, 2019)

At the NAPPER days in 2019, students looked into whether playing video games affects people’s cognitive function; the risk-taking differences between men and women when inflating a balloon and whether there is a correlation between the length of a man’s fingers to whether he is perceived to be physically attractive.
