Psychology Undergraduate Research Event (PURE)
This annual celebration of student achievement involves our 4th-year Undergraduate Honours students sharing their capstone research via poster presentations. This has become Carleton’s largest undergraduate research event. To help with this celebration of student achievement, we welcome fellow students and their families, members of the Department, and the University community to attend.
PURE was held in-person on Thursday April 13th, 2023. Students were supported by their friends, family, and members of the Department. Each student did an excellent job presenting their poster, but the following 6 students were selected to receive an outstanding presentation award. Congratulations!
Olivia Hum: Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy as Treatment for Phobias
Chiara Mazza: Shattered Lives: Unravelling the Destructive Effects of Cults
Julia Wood: Safer Consumption Sites: Societal Benefits of Increased Implementation
Jacqueline Glover: Getting Flexible About Learning: Classroom Environment and Academics
Alexis Hinkson: WANTED: The Child Next Door? The SSPI-2 Measures Sexual Attraction to Children
Anna Van Leeuwen: Beyond the Headlines: Unpacking Media Portrayal of Psychopathy
The Department would also like to acknowledge and congratulate the following 3 students who were awarded the People’s Choice Award. These individuals were designated by the attendees of the event who were encouraged to vote for their favourite posters throughout the day. Congratulations!
