Syllabus/achievement requirements

In preparing your project outline’s chapter on “Background and status of knowledge” you must do literature search in databases such as Medline, Pubmed, or PsychInfo to write up a state-of-the-art nationally and/or internationally on the topic you have chosen to study. You must give a description of what is already known, and what remains to be studied and how your project contributes to the existing literature. The cited literature is to be presented in your reference list. Also, you need to refer to literature on methodological issues in your “Approaches, hypotheses and choice of method” chapter. Below is a list of literature you might find useful in this respect.
