Thesis (M.A.(Clinical Psychology)) -- University of Limpopo, 2019 / A study investigating third year psychology students’ attitudes towards the use of marijuana at the University of Limpopo was undertaken. The study was quantitative in nature and used a cross sectional survey design. A random sample of 165 third year psychology students was used. The Health Belief-Model was used as a theoretical framework, which guided the study and the reporting of the research results. The self-report questions were made up of several standardised questionnaires. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics namely, frequency tables and figures as they gave a clear overall picture of the data. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine if there were any significant differences between male and female participants in terms of knowledge and attitudes. The results of the study found that overall respondents had negative attitudes toward marijuana use. The study also indicated that there were no gender differences in attitudes toward marijuana use. In terms of the Pearson correlation coefficient a weak positive relationship was found between self-efficacy and attitudes toward marijuana use amongst third year psychology students. The study recommended that workshops are organised to share knowledge about marijuana and its effects.

Attachment theory has established itself as applicable to many types of relationships, encompassing caregiver-child, romantic, interpersonal, and psychotherapeutic interactions. This project sought to investigate the application of attachment theory to clinical supervision. Using suggestions put forth in previous work by Watkins and Riggs, this study examined the dyadic interactions inherent in both supervision and attachment. Using the working alliance as determination of the quality of supervision, attachment styles, leader-follower attachment, and attachment-based expectations were explored as predictors for supervisor-trainee dyad outcome in a training clinic for doctoral psychology students. The study design is longitudinal and prospective. Findings indicate the necessity of measurement of supervisory-specific attachment rather than general attachment, the stability of working alliance over time, and the large contribution of the leader-member attachment framework to the understanding of supervisory attachment. Implications include the importance of maintaining hierarchical, evaluative boundaries within supervisory relationship, consistent with a leader-follower dynamic.

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that time-keeping devices influence our perception of time in a way apart from their usual role of telling time. The subjects obtained for this project consisted of forty-two students enrolled in freshman psychology courses at North Texas State University.

Tal fato evidencia a necessidade de habilitação dos psicólogos para lidarem com essa dimensão humana. Esta dissertação, composta por dois estudos, buscou conhecer como a espiritualidade tem sido abordada na formação em Psicologia e na clínica psicológica. Inicialmente, foram investigados os índices de espiritualidade de 1.064 calouros e formandos de Psicologia das diferentes universidades gaúchas. Utilizou-se de questionário biossociodemográfico, da Escala de Bem-Estar Espiritual (EBE) e da Subescala de Espiritualidade, Religiosidade e Crenças Pessoais SRPB-WHOQOL-100. Os resultados revelaram índices de espiritualidade significativamente menores nos formandos do que nos calouros de Psicologia (t=3,769; p<0,001).

This fact clearly evidences the necessity of training psychologists to deal with this human dimension. This research, which consists of two studies, aims at investigating how spirituality has been approached in the training of psychologists and in their professional practice. Initially, the indexes of spirituality of 1064 psychology students were investigated, in different universities in Rio Grande do Sul. A biosocialdemographic questionnaire, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs Sub-scale SRPB-WHOQOL-100 were applied. The results revealed spirituality indexes significantly lower in the senior students than in the freshmen in the psychology courses under scrutiny (t=3,769; p<0,0001). The senior students also affi

This study invest igated the demand trends in the employment of psychology graduates - with specific reference to research psychology - in South Africa from 1976 to 1998. A total of 5769 advertisements appearing in the Sunday Times and the Mail and Guardian were analysed. Results indicated that there has been an increase in demand for research skills coupled with a decrease in demand for technical psychosocial skills (psychodiagnosis, psychotherapy and psychometrics) . In addition, there has been an increase in demand for graduates with a background in research and community psychology to work in the public sector and in social welfare and development environments. These results are discussed in the light of other studies, which suggest an increased demand globally for research skills and service professionals. The implications of these results for the planning of psychology curricula suggest that career-oriented studies could concentrate on research skills and exposure to social welfare and development contexts, thereby ensuring that the demand for these skills is met. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2002.
