I'm hoping to get UG psychology students to complete preregistrations of their final year projects, anybody got any experience/advice? It will be for both qual and quant studies, and I want to keep it as simple as possible (i.e. not mandatory or assessed). Thanks!!

Thank you Gonzalo for joining us online, some really interesting and thought-provoking research presented today, we've all learnt a lot! Thanks too to @ehbea.bsky.social for the funding to support this workshop
Just presented some results on the communicative value of sustainable buying in the context of a climate-related EHBEA-funded workshop (organized by @danielfarrelly.bsky.social and @Manpal Bhogal)
Great work from researchers working on climate-related topics from an evolutionary approach.
