Faculty of Psychology Research programme 2021-2025: Understanding Human Change in a Dynamic Digital Era

The goal of the research program is to study the phenomenon of human change in an ever-changing, digital world, its antecedents and consequences as well as the processes and mechanisms involved. The program is designed to stimulate research in concordance with the aims of the Open University’s agreements on research, the domain specific knowledge of the psychology of human change in the international scientific community, the expertise and ambition of the faculty’s researchers and teaching program, and the needs of society and its members. The research program is operationalized within six research lines that are closely connected to the Faculty’s master and bachelor education program:

• Clinical psychology
• Health psychology
• Lifespan psychology
• Work and organisational psychology
• General psychology
• Methodology and statistics
