What we do

This group is for those who are curious about human behaviour and enjoy lively discussions.

Our meetings include discussions led by one of the group, talks, invitations to outside speakers and possibly small study groups to investigate particular topics.

Reports

October 2011

In our first few sessions for 2012, we’re planning to look at:

  • Memory” -  how we can improve it.
  • “The Psychology of Religious Practice”
  • “Rosenhan’s Experiment” - a ground breaking exploration that changed the way that mental illnesses were identified.

Our sessions are always lively, so if you’re curious about human behaviour and enjoy a good discussion, why not join us sometime.
