The Department offers MA and PhD programs. Students may select Behavioural Neuroscience, Lifespan Development, or Social/Personality as their focus. Both MA and PhD programs are characterized by active faculty collaboration within and across areas and by both basic and applied research. Both programs have a part-time option. The PhD program offers special opportunities for students to individualize their learning experience through independent study papers and apprenticeships.
Fields of Study
Behavioural Neuroscience
Behavioural neuroscience integrates concepts and methods from biology, chemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and psychology in the study of the neurophysiological and neurological underpinnings of behaviour. The basic tenet of the field is that behaviour ultimately reflects brain function and that understanding brain function helps us to understand behaviour. Research in behavioural neuroscience may occur on a number of levels of analysis, ranging from the single cell to the whole organism. Individual students will specialize in a particular area but must also learn to appreciate the concepts and methods related to other focal areas and other levels of analysis. Within the program, students can gain experience working with neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, electrophysiological, neuropsychological, and behavioural methods. Current research involves behavioural pharmacological studies of major neurotransmitter systems (cholinergic, glutamatergic, dopaminergic, GABAergic) and their role in the production of vocalization and initiation of locomotor activity in rodents; the effects of stress on brain development and sensitivity to drugs in rodents; and the role of hormones in human and animal behaviour. In addition, Brock researchers use a variety of electrophysiological and behavioural techniques to investigate, for example, the physiological basis of sleep, the consequences of sleep deprivation, the neural correlates of normal and disrupted attentional and memory processes, developmental and age-related change in cognitive and emotional function and their psychophysiological correlates, and the long-term sequelae of closed head injury. A strong interdisciplinary team has formed the Brock Institute for Electrophysiological Research to help advance this field within neuroscience.
Lifespan Development
From birth to death, development is shaped by changes both within the individual and in his or her environment. The Brock program emphasizes development through the lifespan studied from social, emotional, cognitive, and/or neuropsychological perspectives. Particular emphasis will be given to the theoretical and practical implications of measuring change over time in the contexts of normal development and decline as well as atypical processes. Laboratories are available for the study of infant cognitive and perceptual development, parent-child interactions, children's peer relationships, play patterns in exceptional or normal children, childhood aggression, adolescent lifestyle choices and resilience in children and youth, youth engagement, adolescent learning disabilities, and the neuropsychology of normal aging, as well as atypical age-related decline. Current research involves special populations in the community from infants to older adults. Close links with faculty in Behavioural Neuroscience allow interested students to work towards an integration of neurological and experiential factors that help shape development throughout the lifespan. Brock University also enjoys strength in its Faculty of Education and interdisciplinary Department of Child and Youth Studies. Opportunities to engage in developmental research may be available through the Centre of Excellence for Youth Engagement and the Youth Lifestyle Choices - Community University Research Alliance (YLC-CURA). In addition, faculty are involved in the Brock Research Institute for Youth Studies (BRIYS), a multidisciplinary initiative involving faculty across the university engaged in youth-related research. These associated departments and research initiatives provide unique opportunities for research and thesis collaboration.
Social/Personality
Social psychology has been traditionally associated with a situational approach to human behaviour, whereas personality psychology focuses on relatively enduring individual difference factors. The social/personality group at Brock is involved in a broad range of research projects that investigate these traditional approaches as well as the synergy between the person and the social situation. Research interests of the social/personality faculty at Brock range from basic research issues to applied psychology. Two foci that involve several members of the social/personality group are positive psychology and the study of social issues. Broadly, the notion of "positive psychology" is based on the belief that psychology is not simply the study of pathology, weakness or "risk factors", but is also the study of strength, creativity and resilience. Faculty involved in positive psychology research at Brock study phenomena such as the meanings and consequences of forgiveness, secure attachment, intimacy, the influence of a positive orientation toward one's own health, imaginative absorption and openness to experience, and the meaning of resilience in the face of stress and disadvantage. Social issues research at Brock includes both basic research questions examined within the context of particular social issues as well as more directly applied interests. Faculty conducting social issues research are focused on topics such as addictions, social justice, coping with traumatic events, and sexual health. As well as positive psychology and social issues research, faculty are also currently pursuing research in the structure of personality, sexual orientation, expert systems, and states of consciousness. This diversity of research topics is complemented by an array of methodologies for investigating social/personality issues, including: reaction time methodologies, observational techniques, qualitative methods, archival research, longitudinal designs, etc. Opportunities are also available for research in health care and community agencies. At both the master's and doctoral levels, requirements are intended to give students breadth and depth of knowledge in the field. At the doctoral level, students will have the flexibility to tailor their teaching, research, and applied experiences to match their particular post-graduate career goals.
Research Facilities
The department has well-equipped RF-shielded, sound-attenuated rooms for the collection of GSR, EKG, EMG, and high-density EEG and ERP data with dipole localization software for the study of neurocognitive and psychophysiological function; a two-bedroom sleep laboratory equipped with multiple channel digital amplifiers and specialized software for recording and analysis of human sleep and alertness in a 24-hour context; enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of steroid hormones in biological fluids and tissue samples collected from rodents or humans; animal housing equipment for neurobehavioural studies, particularly for bioacoustic and locimotor analysis; animal labs with operant chambers, Y-mazes, automated activity cages, and provisions for surgery and histology; one-way mirror and video-equipped rooms and play rooms for behavioural assessment and observation; laboratory space for individual and group testing; and an easily accessed pool of Psychology undergraduates who regularly volunteer for research participation. Research activities are supported by highly efficient Electronics and Machine shops. The University Library, in addition to its regular holdings, has substantial on-line access to scientific databases and journals, as well as system-wide access to the many libraries in Southern Ontario universities and teaching hospitals relevant to the three areas of specialization.
Students applying at the MA level should indicate on their application whether they intend to pursue graduate studies through to a PhD so that their application can be considered in the context of their academic goals.
Master of Arts
Program Objectives
The objectives are to provide intensive research training in the fields of Behavioural Neuroscience, Lifespan Developmental Psychology, and Social/Personality Psychology and to develop an appreciation of the scientific basis of psychology and the skills necessary to examine systematically basic or applied issues in the field of interest. Many graduates will pursue further training at the doctoral level; others will be prepared to work in a wide variety of occupations in which an appreciation of the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological basis of psychology is of value.
Admission Requirements
Applications for admission to the MA program, on either a full-time or a part-time basis, will be accepted from students holding an honours BA in Psychology or equivalent, with an average of not less than 75 percent. Scores on the Graduate Record Examinations, both General and Psychology sections, must be submitted along with three academic reference letters and a personal statement of interest and goals. The Graduate Admissions Committee will review all applications and will consult with potential supervisors of suitable candidates. The Committee will offer admission to a limited number of acceptable applicants.
Please note that in any given year admission to a particular field of study depends, in part, on the availability of supervisory and teaching resources.
Degree Requirements
Basic degree requirements include successful completion of the course in research design, two half-credit courses in the student's field of specialization, colloquium seminar, the thesis, and an additional half credit outside the field of specialization. Students will consult with the Graduate Officer and their thesis supervisor when planning a program of study.
Thesis
A thesis research proposal will be evaluated by the student's thesis committee before thesis research may formally begin. The thesis committee is comprised of the student's supervisor and two other faculty members associated with the program as members of the Department of Psychology or as Associate Graduate Core Faculty. One of the members of the supervisory committee may be from outside the program. An open thesis oral defence is required with the participation of an examiner external to the University. The thesis will demonstrate the student's capacity for independent work of acceptable scientific calibre.
Residency
For full-time students, minimum residency for the program is one year of full-time study. Part-time students must take the research methods course in the first year and successfully complete at least one half credit course per year thereafter. The thesis must be completed within three years of completion of the program course requirements. Students who are employed must ensure that there is sufficient flexibility in their work schedules to allow for attendance at courses, seminars, colloquia, and examinations, to engage in data collection, and to participate in meetings with supervisors as required.
PhD Program
Program Objectives
The objectives of the PhD program in Psychology are to develop a high level of research expertise and the capacity for assuming a critical and scholarly approach to basic and/or applied issues in the fields of Social/Personality, Lifespan Development, and Behavioural Neuroscience. The program adopts a skills-based approach, ensuring that students have access to hands-on training in basic research, teaching, and applied areas that will prepare them well for a broad range of post-graduate situations. They will build on the experiences acquired at the MA level by developing further the skills needed to achieve independent responsibility for learning, for seeking out and integrating relevant information from a variety of sources and perspectives, for achieving depth of understanding in a specific area of expertise, and for making original contributions to knowledge. Depth of knowledge is fostered through required courses and individual study within the student's area of interest in addition to their dissertation research. Breadth and integration are achieved through one individual study paper outside of a student's primary area of interest in addition to active attendance at the Departmental colloquium and proseminar series. Required course work provides the foundation for advanced statistical and methodological skills in preparation for thesis research. The acquisition of applied and job-related skills is facilitated through the completion of two of three apprenticeship credits from among teaching, research, and community options. All PhD students have the opportunity to serve as teaching assistants in each year of their program and they are given opportunities to increase their teaching responsibilities as they progress through the program.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the PhD program, on either a full-time or a part-time basis, requires completion of an MA, MSc, or MASc in Psychology or its equivalent. Students must have achieved an A average for the previous two years of graduate study and evidence of research competence, normally demonstrated by a Master's thesis. Students are selected by the Graduate Admissions Committee in consultation with a faculty member who is willing to act as the student's supervisor. Please note that in any given year admission to a particular field of study depends, in part, on the availability of supervisory and teaching resources.
Master's students with backgrounds other than Psychology
In recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of Psychology, the Admissions Committee will consider applications from students holding degrees in allied fields. To ensure that such applicants have a background in psychology adequate for successful completion of their graduate program, the following conditions for eligibility to the PhD program have been established. Applicants must first be sponsored in writing by an appropriate potential research supervisor from within the Department. Applicants must have completed a Master's thesis in another discipline that involved empirical research of scope and complexity comparable to that of a Master's Psychology thesis. Applicants must present recent evidence of suitable background knowledge in the form of a score for the Advanced Psychology (and/or Neuroscience equivalent) section of the Graduate Record Examination.
Degree Requirements
General degree requirements are the completion of two of PSYC 7F01, PSYC 7F02 and 7F03; PSYC 7F90, PSYC 7P03, PSYC 7P01 or PSYC 7P02; PSYC 7P40, PSYC 7P41, PSYC 7Y40, PSYC 7Y41, and PSYC 7Y42.
Additional required courses for each of the focal area programs are as follows:
Behavioural Neuroscience
one of PSYC 7V10 or PSYC 7V11
Lifespan Development
one of PSYC 7V20 or PSYC 7V21
Social/Personality

Dissertation
A dissertation research proposal will be evaluated by the student's dissertation committee before dissertation research may formally begin. The committee is comprised of the student's supervisor and two other faculty members associated with the program as members of the Department of Psychology or as Associate Graduate Core Faculty. One of the members of the supervisory committee may be from outside the program. An open dissertation oral defence is required with the participation of an examiner external to the University. The dissertation is expected to make a substantial contribution to scientific knowledge and demonstrate the candidate's ability for independent research, integration of knowledge, and depth of understanding.
Residency
For full-time students, the residency requirements will be a minimum of two years (six terms), post-Master's degree. Students who hold an MA, MSc, or MASc in Psychology (or equivalent) may be admitted to the PhD program on a part-time basis. Part-time students are expected to complete the required statistical and methods course in the first year of their program, the two individual study papers within three years, and all non-dissertation courses before the PhD defence. The sequence of other courses will be planned jointly with the dissertation supervisor and the Graduate Officer. Students who are employed must ensure that there will be sufficient flexibility in their work schedule to allow for attendance at courses, seminars, colloquia, and examinations, to engage in data collection, and to participate in meetings with supervisors as required.
