Hello and welcome to a new edition of PsychIllusion, the

Psychology Department Student Newsletter - made by students for students. This, the 3rd edition of the newsletter, brings a new look, one everybody who

works on the newsletter hopes you all will like. Apart from the newly designed logo, which was redesigned by the brilliantly talented Bethan Davies, and other visual changes to the newsletter, I must point out some staff differences from last year. Unfortunately, Valrie McKenzie is no longer with us on the newsletter, she has moved on to bigger and better projects and we thank her for her great effort as Chief Editor last year on PsychIllusion, and wish her every success in the future.

This means there is a new Chief Editor on board; me… Phil Borrell. Let me tell you a little of my experience on newsletters. As you may know, I was involved as assistant editor in PsychIllusion last year, so anything like grammatical errors and spelling mistakes visible in the printed editions were – yes indeed – my fault. But a few years ago, before I came to Bangor University, I worked as an editor on a newsletter similar in style to PsychIllusion.

So I’m hoping that in my new role I can do a better job of the editing side of things than I did last year, well at least make a few less mistakes, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

First things first though… If you haven’t already heard, our very own Tracey Lloyd is now, Doctor Tracey Lloyd. A BIG Congratulation to Tracey on her achievement.

Before we get started on this edition of PsychIllusion, I must first write an apology to a Bangor University Psychology student who attended the British Psychological Society Student Conference here in the Wheldon Building on April 4th 2008, but who was accidently missed out of the BPS conference article entitled “A Psychology Affair! BPS student conference”, in PsychIllusion Issue 2, May 2008

Shubha Sreenivas presented a paper at the Conference called fMRI Correlates of treatments effects in depression.

We at PsychIllusion profoundly apologise to Shubha Sreenivas for the error of not naming her in the article as we did all other students who presented during the conference.

If anyone would like to read Shubha Sreenivas’ article, this link will take you straight to it. http://www.bps.org.uk/conferences-and-events/proceedings/proceedings_home.cfm?&ResultsType=Abstracts&ResultSet_ID=2208&FormDisplayMode=view&frmShowSelected=true&localAction=details

Some comical Psychology. "Participants" wanted A Stanford Medical research group advertised for participants in a study of obsessive-compulsive disorder. They were looking for therapy clients who had been diagnosed with this disorder. The response was gratifying; they got 3,000 responses about three days after the ad came out. All from the same person.

What lies at the bottom of the ocean and twitches? A nervous wreck.

Staff vs. Student 1. Name and job title:

Jesse Martin, Lecturer. Phil Borrell, 2nd Year Psychology student and Chief Editor of PsychIllusion.

2. Birthplace: Jesse: Alberta, Canada. Phil: Bridgend, South Wales.

3. Describe yourself in three words: Jesse: Stats teacher and supervisor. Phil: Regretful (for not coming to university when I was younger), sometimes

lazy and often stubborn.

4. Why did you choose Bangor? Jesse: It’s a good psychology department. Phil: After spending a year in New Zealand, I chose Bangor because the

mountains reminded me of my year away. That’s the only reason.

5. Why did you choose Psychology? Jesse: I liked the subject and pragmatic reasons; it was a subject I could get a

job in. Phil: I’ve always been interested in it. I like people-watching, so it’s nice to

put technical terms to what people do.

6. Best thing about studying psychology: Jesse: The students. I like to see the students change and learn. Phil: The variety and you always get to learn something new. Most days I go

‘wow’ when I get to learn something I didn’t know.

7. Worst thing about studying psychology: Jesse: Marking! Phil: Still haven’t decided. Too much variance!

many years.

10. What are your aspirations? What would you like to achieve within the next 10 years? Jesse: Just to make an impact on the way psychology is taught. Phil: To be a published author. Psychology-wise, I don’t know. I’m not sure

whether I want a career in psychology.

11. Do you have any tips for this year’s fresher’s? Jesse: Don’t blow your first year. Phil: Don’t be afraid to ask for help from tutors, especially personal tutors.

They can’t help if they don’t know you have a problem. Also, the LRC ladies are the best friends you’ll ever have!

In the next issue there will be another Staff vs. Student article. The member of staff and student chosen is up to you. Staff up for possible interview are… Professor Guillaume Thierry, Dr. Tracey Lloyd, Dr. Steve Hoisier, Sheila McCabe or Hazel Frost. To vote for a staff member or to nominate a student, please email psx802@bangor.ac.uk

Peer Guiding 2008

It’s now been several weeks since the

hundreds of new Psychology students arrived in Bangor, and hopefully they and us have all settled into student life again. One clear sign that term had finally started for me was when the sunshine went away, the heavens opened, and we all got constantly drenched walking down to the Wheldon.

When I was asked to write something

about Peer Guiding and Welcome Week, I immediately thought back to my memories of being a Fresher over a year ago. Something that really stood out for me was the vast number of Peer Guides around then. I'm sure you'll agree we certainly didn't let that image down this year, with a sea of purple shirts flooding Ffriddoedd Site and taking over town

The beach trip could not have gone better; with perfect weather for a volleyball game and a sandcastle contest. The winning sandcastle, or should I say sand-sculpture, was of a mermaid! Well done to all who took part. Another well done to our winners (Team Meow) of the Psychology Treasure Hunt, lead by Senior Peer Guide Katrina Crowley. I hope the £300 prize money enabled you to fit in just a little more partying throughout the week! Hopefully most Fresher’s made it out of bed on the Wednesday morning of Fresher’s Week, because the mayhem was down the hill at the Students Union for Serendipity… AKA the Fresher’s Fair, where everyone could sign up for an endless amount of clubs and societies and also get covered in stickers by SVB (student volunteering), Rag and Nightline volunteers! But if you did miss all the fun or enjoyed it that much you want to go again, there's always Serendipity II to look forward to in January. A big Thank You goes out to Kati Williams and Hayley Jones for the fantastic new slogan on this year’s Psychology Hoodies “Out of my mind... back in 5 minutes”

Hendre Hall was the venue for the Psychology Party this year; the character and charm of the old converted barns made it the ideal location, and it seems that everyone enjoyed the Hog Roast, especially the people who had second and possibly third helpings. Fancy dresses were everywhere to be seen that night, including the one on me. Its so nice to dress up every once in a while and not have to be wrapped up warm from the cold and rain here in lovely Bangor. A personal highlight for me was the ride home; after all, I got given a microphone, though apologies for the several badly sung verses of “the wheels on the bus”. Hope to see you all there again next year, whether its as a second year, third year or as a post graduate student. I’ll leave you to enjoy your upcoming year… Make sure you give Peer Guiding a go next year, I had an unbelievable week and have made some great new friends out of my Freshers and fellow Peer Guides.

An enormous Thank You to Hayley Jones and Fraser Bailey, we really couldn't have pulled any of this off without you!

A Huge Thank You to all the Psychology Peer Guides for all the effort you put in, it certainly didn't go unnoticed! And a final word… We'd love to hear about your Welcome Week experiences; the highs, the lows, and hopefully how great your Peer Guide was, too! By Lucy Bryning Continued on next page.

Below, Lucy Bryning and Hayley Jones

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge Thank You to all the Peer Guides, in particular, the Peer Guide Committee and the Senior Peer Guides! You all did a fantastic job! Special thanks to Laura Martin, Lesley-Anne Bendick, Kati Williams, Katie Dunn, Angela Hiles, Andree Palmer and Alys Leighton for all their hard work in keeping myself and Hayley sane in the week before it all kicked off! Also a big thank you to all those who gave up their precious spare time to help out during the week, Hazel Frost, Sian Lewis, Elizabeth Williams, Lucy Bryning, Katie Murphy, Lesley Cragg, Dan Jones, Lucy Neville-Davies, Victoria Sanvitale and many more!! Last but not least thanks to Sheila McCabe, who once again was fantastic, (without her, there would be no freshers week!!). Tracey Lloyd, who took the starring role of ‘The Keeper of the Treasure’, Professor Guillame Thierry, the mastermind behind the fantastic treasure hunt, (although conveniently, he left before all the hard work started!!), and a personal thanks from me to Steve Hoisier who found me enough free food during freshers week to last me a lifetime! Fraser and Hayley Bailey

I t was the biggest health conference ever in the UK! An article by Valrie McKenzie

The recently concluded BPS Division of Health Psychology Conference (DHP) in

collaboration with the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) was held at the associated Department of Psychology, University of Bath, September 9-13, 2008. Delegates from all over the world were present – the Americas, Asia, Middle East, South Africa, Australia, Canada and of course, Europe. There were 700 presentations in the form of poster sessions, symposia, workshops and other keynote addresses. Of course, Bangor University, one of three Welsh universities, was represented. We boasted six delegates, three less than Cardiff and three more than Glamorgan. Bryan Bennett was the sole Bangorite who gave an oral presentation on Thursday, concerning ‘The use of imagery and hypnotherapy as complementary and alternative therapies to rheumatoid arthritis patients’. Three posters were also presented. Tuesday saw Dr. David Ingledew’s poster on ‘Conscientiousness and behavioural regulation of preventive health behaviour’ being presented in the category ‘Personality & Health’. Thursday’s category – ‘Support from significant others’ and Friday’s category – ‘Work and Health’ saw Sahdia Parveen presenting on ‘Ethnic variations in caregiver coping and use of social support and Predictors of familism in the caregiver role, respectively. Sahdia, who is currently a PhD student supervised by Dr. Val Morrison, was awarded an EHPS/CREATE bursary. Tuesday evening saw a 10 year celebration of the group Collaborative Research and Training in EHPS (CREATE). This group is open to postgraduates and early career researchers. It facilitates networking and builds a supportive expert peer group. Training workshops are facilitated across Europe by expert leaders in their fields. It is a group worth being involved with. The organizing team, lead by Jo Hart of Manchester University were exceptional in the way they made their presence felt. An impressive schedule of activities and entertainment were incorporated in the curriculum.

Sahdia Parveen’s poster above.

It was interesting to note that some attendees were two other branches of psychology. One leading Clinical Neuropsychologist made the point – that, psychology ultimately deals with health; so members of every branch should be at health psychology conferences. That, I am totally in agreement with! For him; health psychology conferences are always pleasurable. Certainly, the conference met our expectations as some went there to network, learn, meet people whose works have been bases for their studies, get questions answered, meet with old colleagues, meet with others who are conducting similar studies and probably like myself – wanting to see the potential of a current study. While we await next years’ conferences – DHPS at Aston University and EHPS in Pisa, Italy – the recent conference has truly set a standard which is expected to be maintained.

Fresher’s Treasure Hunt During freshers week the Psychology Department organised a

Q 1. Why have you become a professor? Guillaume has always wanted to be a professor. He told me, “My dream was to become a Professor before I was 40, and I’m 38, so I’m very happy!” Professor Thierry continued, “Becoming a professor means that I can pursue a wider range of interests that I was previously unable to due to Academic responsibilities, not that Professorship doesn’t come with its own Academic responsibilities; the job actually comes with more, but I have more freedom, academically.

1) Q 2. What were you required to do to be a Professor? “Research Grants in your chosen field is a definite must for Professorship. And I have recently been awarded a research grant from the European Research Commission (ERC) for close to 1m Euros to study Neurosemantics, the study of how meaning is implemented in the brain.” “Of course,” Professor Thierry continues, “I have had to publish a decent amount of papers in journals in the last few years, but the most important part of the promotion process is the need for reference letters. You need 3 letters of reference from internal sources, meaning 3 senior members of University staff including the Head of your department and up to 5 external references.

2) Q 3. What do you hope to achieve now that you are a Professor? “Retirement by 40” Professor Thierry, jokes. “Being a Professor allows me to pursue interests I may not have been able to, previously. There are things I want to explore in the field of psychology that no one has dared explore before, and I cannot say too much right now, but if you attended my lecture in Main Arts Lecture Theatre on the 6th November at 6.30pm, entitled ‘Mind to Mind Communication? Don’t Get Me Started…’ Hopefully the title of the lecture gives a clue that I am thirsty for new adventures…” “I would also like to develop a commercial product relating to neuropsychology; a sort of mind game.” “But, by far the best thing about achieving Professorship, is the renewed Peace, Freedom and Energy I feel I now have.

For anyone who does not know, Dr. Guillaume Thierry is now Professor Thierry. I interviewed Guillaume Thierry about becoming a Professor, and what he now hopes to achieve.

treasure hunt around Bangor, ending in Powis Hall in Main Arts, where there was a chest waiting to be discovered.... We started in the Wheldon, where after losing power, we chose Kat to be our Peer Guide leader, as we loved her so much. We then all left the Wheldon at once; we had to run to the swimming pool where we were met by a woman in the bushes, where we were made to spell out pool with our bodies on the ground in the dark. The next clue was at Bangor Pier where we had to pick the prettiest of the group; Kat was chosen to do a lap of a hill by the pier whilst we all had to stand on one leg. We were then sent to the stone circle where we had to perform the YMCA. What a site it was! We were followed closely by a group who overtook us at the stone circle, increasing our determination to beat them! Next, we ran to the gym on the Ffriddoedd site (Maes Glas) where we faced our worse challenge yet; to remove various items of clothing whilst covering our modesty. We then took the taxi, which we had booked on our way to the gym) to HSBC on Bangor High Street where we were made to Conga around the clock tower 3 times. From there we were sent to the Train Station, but couldn’t find any clues anywhere. For 10 minutes there were two groups trying to find the clue givers, but they were very well hidden and even had suitcases with them to help their disguises! Once we found them, we did the YMCA AGAIN, and were sent to Main Arts. Once there, we had to pass 3 challenges; Firstly, we had to guess the clue givers middle name, (Hayley ELIZABETH Jones). Secondly, to line up in height order, and thirdly, to do the Macarena! We were then told to go to Powis Hall, but had no idea where that was. So we asked a local for advice, but their answer was a little slurred, so we chose to ignore it and went back to the taxi. We got half way up the road before someone phoned a relative for help and with the new information, we headed back to Main Arts to find Powis hall. It took a while, but we eventually found Powis Hall (after several shrieks and screams whilst running around dark corridors!), where the Keeper of the Treasure, Tracey Lloyd, would not let us past until we produced our ‘cards of seven’, the Cards Of Seven being the seven clue cards we’d gathered on the way. Two of our group went back to try to find our clue cards but couldn’t find them. So we tried handing over our Seven Debit Cards, which the Keeper of the Treasure accepted! We were then let into Powis hall, where we tried popping every single balloon to find the treasure, but there was nothing there. We then heard the Keeper of the Treasure talking to another group. In the dying moments before they were let in, too, Natalie found the chest just 10 seconds before the other group came in. We had found the £300, which split between us all meant we had won £42 each. It was one of the best nights so far that we have had in Bangor! We’ve put our winnings to good use; it’s helped with laundry, buying rail cards, buying Fresher’s Ball tickets and other social events!

A Fresher’s point of view…

Driving down the motorway on the 21st of September I felt a mixture of excitement and nerves as we drew ever closer to reaching the University. It was the first time I was going to spend any substantial amount of time away from home, but I was looking forward to the prospect of freedom and a new kind of independence. Within 15 minutes of arriving at Ffriddoedd Site, my Peer Guide was knocking on my door to introduce herself, and checking I was settling in alright and to arrange going out that evening. I was glad, as it meant I had someone to answer my questions. Going out that evening was great as I began to get to know the area quickly, and met lots more first years.

Fresher’s Week was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before; with so many different things happening in such a short space of time, it was a great way to immerse myself in University life and meet as many people as possible. I’m quite shy, so I wasn’t looking forward to the prospect of having to meet lots of new people, but the activities in the first week made it so easy and I soon found myself surrounded by new friends.

It was good having such a mixture of things available to take part in during Fresher’s Week. The lectures gave me a chance to get used to what actual lessons were going to be like here at University and also meant I got to learn a little more about the course and what I’d be doing during my time here (with the exception of Professor Thierry and Hayley Jones’ lecture ‘Beauty is in the Mind of the Beholder’’, which was just hilarious), as activities like the Treasure Hunt and the Pub Quiz at Varsity were a great chance to meet even more new people and to get to know my way around Bangor.

I really enjoyed the Psychology Fresher’s Party at Hendre Hall, it wasn’t like the places where I normally go out, and having a hog roast was really different, too. It was also yet another chance to meet more people and to get to know my new friends a little better. By far my favorite bit of Welcome Week though, was the trip to the beach, because as I come from the middle of England, the chance to mess around in the sand, eat ice cream and build ridiculously extravagant sandcastles with my friends, was absolutely great, even if we didn’t actually win the sand sculpture competition. My Fresher’s Week experience was definitely a success; I met lots of new people, had a great time and it really helped me to settle into University life! By Ruth Dixon

Let Ivor Remedy solve your problem

Dear Ivor, I don’t like walking up and down bitch hill, what should I do? Dear student… if you don’t like hills, why on earth did you move to a University in the middle of Snowdonia? I have a couple of solutions for you; Firstly, you could buy

a car, this would save you having to walk up and down hills and you could gain a few friends by offering them a lift. failing that, you could always get a transfer to a University in Holland. Dear Ivor, Professor Thierry is so cute. Is he married? Dear student… Yes he is. You wouldn’t stand a chance anyway. If, however, you insist on pursuing him for a relationship, could I suggest a cardboard cutout – which we will supply to you for a small charge that would be donated to charity. This would stop you making a complete fool of yourself, when he turns you down and could actually have some benefits. 1. He’d be cheap to keep. 2. You would always have the last word. 3. He wouldn’t get any older and 4. It wouldn’t matter if you get fat in the future, he’ll still look at you the same way. Dear Ivor, I keep turning up late to my lectures, any solutions? Dear student… Yes, get to bed earlier, buy the biggest alarm clock you can find and place it on the other side of the room. The university does have plans to introduce army drill sergeants to every hall in the university, the drill sergeants will be there to ensure you go to sleep by 11pm and you’re up bright and early by 5.30am and ready to get to you lectures on time

Hi, my name is IVOR REMEDY, I am an agony uncle. There is nothing I don’t have an answer to. So, if you have a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find me, maybe you could hire… IVOR REMEDY.

RANT I think it’s a little unfair that at the end of the last academic year an email went round, I believe several times, asking the existing first years to vote on whether or not they wanted Popps to continue in the 2nd year. Now, call me cynical, but I’m pretty sure most 1st years at the time voted against Popps continuing in the 2nd year. But guess what, we come back after a summer of nothing but rain, looking forward to our 2nd year, and we’re hit with the knowledge that we are indeed going to have to attend Popps again. What was the point to the Popps vote? Was

it always intended by the powers that be in the Psychology department to put Popps on the 2nd year timetable the whole time? And if so, that means they were just playing with us! Hmmm, something tells me we are possibly in a system here that is not democratic even when they appear to be on the surface! Has anyone noticed that since about February or March time, the coffee machine in the Wheldon Lounge has increased in price? Ok, this can be down to inflation and what-not, but to come back from the summer break to a newly built Wheldon lounge and to find that the Coffee machine prices have increased yet again, is… well deplorable at best. Furthermore… if you take a nice leisurely walk down to Dean Street Lecture hall and walk up to their Coffee machine, just outside the students common room (which I hasten to add, is exactly the same coffee machine as in the Wheldon Lounge) you will find said machine charging just 40p for drinks, rather than the pricey 65p in the Wheldon. Things need to be done fellow students; after all… we are only poor students! Reply to Rant Man – POPPS Dear Ranter, it was not the intention of the teaching staff to make you feel as if we were “just playing with you”. On the contrary, we asked your opinion as we value the thoughts and feelings of our students very highly. However, when we asked what the year one students thought about POPPS rolling over to year two, very few students replied to our email. The lack of response to the issue led us to believe that most students did not have a strong opinion about this. The intention this year is to develop a new social learning system from the basic POPPS groups. This is the Psychology Academic Communities (PAC) scheme, a

13

13

system that is based on psychological research that shows that students learn more and, in fact, thrive, when they learn in a social environment. Therefore, not only do the year one and year two students belong to a POPPS group, they are also a member of a PAC. We firmly believe that over the next academic year, through various PAC activities such as debating competitions, sports events, social activities etc., the student experience within the psychology department will be richer than ever before. We hope that students, through working together as a community, will improve their grades (not just for oral communications, but across the board) as well as enjoying a more social experience with us. This has got to be good news for everyone. Reply to Rant Man – coffee machine Dear Ranter, you have a choice here – you can pay the price you aren’t happy with or you can do something about it. Bring a flask and don’t pay the price at the machine! Rant replies by Dr. Tracey Lloyd. This is an article written by Rania Zerikioti, who went to the 22nd European Congress of Psychology Students in Lithuania in April this year. "My participation at the Psychology Congress held in Lithuania was an invaluable experience. There are several things I would like to share with you but I will stick up to what I found more valuable instead. The Congress brought together psychology students from many different countries around the world who shared the same passion - psychology. For instance, in a single dining table you could find Spanish, Croatian, Russian and British students, each one from a different background, sharing not only comments about favourite hobbies, actors and music like friends usually do, but also psychology related topics. About Freud, to what extent do we believe his theories are correct? and how being a psychology student could affect the way we perceive the world and our relationships with other people. We could use psychology terms and laugh with jokes related to them that other non-psychology friends may not understand. We helped each other, learnt from each other and made life long friends. The Congress broadened our horizons not only regarding our knowledge of other civilizations and ways of thinking but also in psychology. We realised that we are so different and at the same time so similar with each other. If I could, I would go to the Congress every single year. I would strongly recommend it to every psychology student who has a real interest in psychology."

Dear All As some of you may have heard, the Psychology Department is fund-raising for Children In Need again this year!! Last Year we did a FABULOUS job of raising £1000, which resulted in Jesse Martin sitting in a bath of beans in FREEZING cold weather! Last years team did a FANTASTIC job and as a result, this year we have raised the bar! This year we are hoping to raise £1500 for Children In Need, This sounds a lot, but if every student in Psychology give a minimum of £2 we would have enough. This is less than 1p per day, that’s less than a Pint! Not only would our money make such a huge difference for so many needy children, we as a department would get to see the following Lecturers and certain POPPs Mentors dressed up as famous duo's for the day on Thursday 20th November.

We have to raise the following amounts to see each duo dress up: £300: Hazel Frost (assignment lady) as Andy Pandy with Angela Hiles as Looby Lou. £500: Caroline Bowman as Wonder Woman with Katy Williams as Supergirl. £700: Fay Short as Cruella Deville with Roisin Burke as a DALMATION! (furry suit and all). £900: Stan Colcombe as Frankenstein with Mandy Shanks as Bride of Frankenstein. £1100 Tracey Lloyd as Maid Marion with Fraser Bailey as Robin Hood (in tights!!). £1300 Jesse Martin as Batman with Jon Crossley as Robin. £1500 Guillaume Thierry as Darth Vader with Hayley Jones as Princess Leia. This is well worth paying the money to see! Plus, if we raise the money, we will have a mystery lecturer dressed up. Well worth the money!!

I, and the rest of the team will be dropping into lectures with buckets to collect money, everything counts towards the total, so please give as much as you can. Also, we will be selling cakes in lectures when collecting and round the Wheldon lounge. We will email later to tell you the days. There will also be a spare change box in the reception of the Wheldon for any change you can spare, as every penny counts towards helping reach the total! Look out for the posters and the big thermometer in the Wheldon for more advertising. Also, please fight against the smear campaign of those lecturers who have realised just what they've let themselves in for. Lets get them in tights and outfits for the day! And please bare in mind, they have to lecture in the outfits! So dig deep and I'll see you soon!! Mandy Shanks
