Centre for Psychological Research

The Centre for Psychological Research (CPR) is focused on high-quality research that advances psychological theory and practice in ways that are of benefit to individuals and society.

We are advancing the discipline in ways that reflect the changes in society. For example, the increasing use of digital technologies leads us to research in cyberpsychology.

As a discipline, we conduct research in a broad range of topics and with a diverse range of methodological approaches. We conduct research which is inclusive, transformative, rigorous and are committed to the cause of Open Science.
