Psychology Talk from Solent University

On Friday 24 November, key speakers Violet Gibson, Mei Mason Li and Craig Alison came to deliver a psychology talk from Solent University Southampton. Students were presented with an interactive presentation of how our cognitive perspective impacts individuals’ resilience and ability to overcome stress. Students were able to observe physiological changes in volunteers and given key techniques to help counter their stress response.

Students were very engaged asking questions about the body’s physiological response and were able to link their understanding to key areas already studied on the course, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and classical conditioning.

Students were able to gain further understanding of the role psychology has in numerous fields such as education, clinical and occupational psychology. The talk has inspired many to now consider a career in Psychology. Thank you to Solent University for this inspirational session.
