Channel 5's 'Gadget Show' recently filmed at the University of Wolverhampton. The facilities in our Psychology department were specifically chosen for the two-way mirror - used by our students during their studies - to conduct an experiment with the intention of discovering how iPhone users really feel about using the device.
Presenter Jason Bradbury, interviewed the phone users in one room whilst being observed through the two-way mirror in secret by Professor Geoff Beattie, who observed their body language and commented on his observations. The episode was shown 12 December 2011.
The two-way mirror is used for practical classes in the 2nd year of teaching on our BSc Psychology and BSc Counselling Psychology courses.
Students use the lab for experiments on lie detection and paranoia. Many of our final year students utilise these facilities for their own research studies. Our doctoral trainees also use the two-way mirror for therapy role-play.
