The abnormal psychology course aims to sensitize the students about the existence of abnormal behaviour in order to develop greater social responsibility. The course coupled with the social psychology course of the previous semester and other courses from sociology, specifically with regard to social problems, would create a holistic understanding of the individual and their society. Further, the course would enable the student to develop a cultural understanding of abnormal behaviour within the Indian context and specifically to Bangalore. In Bangalore, there is a noticeable increase in the mental health issues faced by the population and the need for mental health practitioners who understand the difference between abnormal behaviour and distressing behaviour is a major requirement and the course would be the first step towards that direction. This course has been conceptualized in order to help the students develop an understanding of the historical development of the study of abnormal behaviour.  The specific course aim is to create an understanding of the criteria and perspectives in abnormal behaviour, common classification systems, and range of disorders including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, somatic symptom disorders generally observed at childhood and adolescence, and personality disorders.

This course is provided in the fifth semester for students from the psychology triple major combinations (JPENG, PSENG, PSECO, CEP) at CHRIST (Deemed to be University). The course aims at introducing learners to the basic concepts of sports psychology, the scope of sports psychology and various issues the sports persons experience (gender, culture, etc.), and the application of psychological principles in the sports setting. The course also introduces the students to various factors influencing performance and performance enhancement techniques. The students should thoroughly understand the basic psychological process as a prerequisite since this programme mainly focuses on applying those principles in sports.

Course Objectives

o  To introduce learners to sports psychology's origin, scope and perspectives.

o  To enhance learners’ knowledge concerning gender and culture in sports.

o  To equip the learners to differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation  

o  To impart ways to enhance individual and team performance using mental training.

This course has been conceptualized to capstone experience for psychology undergraduates, in which students identify a research topic, conduct comprehensive literature reviews, and then develop a substantial written small empirical research project. The paper aims to help students collaborate and complete psychological research projects with their peers. This course is planned to also provide a framework for the development of assessment practices. Attention will be given to issues of identifying and selecting test instruments, conducting the assessment process in an ethical and considerate manner, interpreting norm references and criterion-referenced test scores and writing APA formatted reports. The program is designed to enable students to complete a group research project under the supervision of a faculty. The students would develop and defend the research proposal in the semester.

This paper seeks to train students to conceptualize and carry out social research. It introduces students to the various stages of research, equipping them with the necessary skills to collect data, analyze data and present the findings in a report. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques are covered.

Course Objectives: 

This course provides philosophical underpinnings of the social research and familiarizes the students with methodological tools, explaining quantitative and qualitative methods, which will help them to undertake empirical research independently.
