Psychology students of Xavier University presented the findings of their studies during the first installment of the Psychology Research Colloquium, underpinning the theme “Enriching student research in the field of psychology.”

XU’s Psychology Department chairman Jason O Manaois, in his welcome message, said that the Psychology Research Colloquium will now be held every semester to serve as training ground for students to develop their communication skills in presenting papers.

The studies presented, which included qualitative researches, case studies, service learning academic papers, and experimental researches, were screened thoroughly and selected by the XU Department of Psychology for the said colloquium.

Held at the Psychology Laboratory on August 20, the event was attended mostly by psychology students and faculty members of the university. It also served as an opportunity for the students and professionals interact and learn from each other’s experiences and research practices.
