Martin Hagger is Professor of Psychology at Curtin University. His areas of expertise are social, health, sport and exercise psychology. He is involved in numerous research projects nationally and internationally with a focus on motivation and behaviour change. He is currently leading projects in drugs in sport, promoting physical activity and healthy diet, understanding the mechanisms of willpower and self-control, and reducing binge drinking and the prevalence of smoking. At the highest level, athletes are well-matched in terms of their physical abilities, conditioning, and skill level. But often that is not enough to win and perform on the biggest of stages like the Olympic games. Developing strategies and techniques to get athletes minds in the best possible condition for optimal performance is increasingly important for sports teams and coaches. Martin will provide an overview of the kinds of techniques that elite athletes use to prepare psychologically for their sport, give details of the scientific research into these techniques and how they work, and how the techniques might be used by competitive athetes and coaches to maximise performance.

Totally agree. It's well worth the money. My school paid for it last year and I'm hoping it will continue to pay for it the next year as well. The website complements the Oxford Study Guide

Although it's quite lengthy, the APA site gives detailed explanations of the ethics that are required for psychological research. The information here serves as a good background to the ethics that come up in many of IAs that are students choose.

The American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct provides guidance for psychologists in professional, scientific and educational roles. The Ethics Code also outlines standards of professional conduct for APA members and student affiliates.

Many professional organizations produce an ethical code of conduct. Violations of this code can result in the loss of license and professional membership. Exposing students to these codes helps them understand the seriousness and importance of ethical conduct.

The American Psychological Association's (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (hereinafter referred to as the Ethics Code) consists of an Introduction, a Preamble, five General Principles and specific Ethical Standards. The Introduction discusses the intent, organization, procedural considerations and scope of application of the Ethics Code. The Preamble and General Principles are aspirational goals to guide psychologists toward the highest ideals of psychology. Although the Preamble and General Principles are not themselves enforceable rules, they should be considered by psychologists in arriving at an ethical course of action. The Ethical Standards set forth enforceable rules for conduct as psychologists. Most of the Ethical Standards are written broadly, in order to apply to psychologists in varied roles, although the application of an Ethical Standard may vary depending on the context. The Ethical Standards are not exhaustive. The fact that a given conduct is not specifically addressed by an Ethical Standard does not mean that it is necessarily either ethical or unethical.

For some reason I think this didn't work the first time! This website is The British Psychological Society's blog. It is called "Research Digest: Blogging on brain and behaviour", and it reports on current research papers. As a sample of their attention-grabbing research posts, there are such titles as "The Psychology of Facebook, Digested" (Social Anxiety) and "10 Hellish Psychology Studies You'll Be Glad Not To Have Participated In" (Research Ethics). It seems like a great site to spark student interest into a variety of relevant research topics in a "digestible" way.

One of the first websites I came across when looking for resources; Haven't stopped using it since. Perfect for practicing to write research summaries!
