Thesis proposals
I am available to supervise theses on any topic of a student's own interest, as long as it is in the context of general psychology.
Specific topics proposed for a bachelor or master thesis (different amount of work is required in the two cases) within the interests of the teacher are:
> Neurodiversity and the dimensional approach to neurodevelopmental disorders: Learning Disorders, ADHD, Autism and other conditions are actual categories or just lower ends of developmental continua? (*E or *R)
> Time processing and time management in children with ADHD (*E or *R)
> Beyond replicability: how mistakes in data analysis choices systematically produce false results in psychology; specific applications are proposed on cluster analysis, interactions, longitudinal models, network analysis and causal inference (*R)
(*E) = Collection of empirical data is required
(*R) = Literature review
A good knowledge of the Ms Office tools, and especially Excel, is strongly recommended. A good knowledge of the free software Jasp for statistical analysis is preferred. Knowledge of R is appreciated. In any case, I will supervise students throughout all steps of statistical analyses.
