How old are you? 20, my birthday is on 8th December
What do you edit with? Final Cut Pro
What do you use to film? For vlogging I use my iPhone X and for normal videos I use a Canon 600D.
What are you studying? Psychology
I think for every psychology student, opening SPSS for the first time is a traumatic experience
opening spss after having worked with rstudio first is a blessing though
@@nejaa4527 what does spss stands for in psychology? I made a quich research and understood nothing but that it's a stastistic program.. sp for whaat
@@maiartarek88 did u ever figure it out?
@@maiartarek88 It is a statistic programm where you can read und evaluate your datas which you have collected from your studies, questionnaire etc.
I once studied geography, but now preparing for another master in psychology for the next career. Thank you for sharing informative and useful video! Love it❤️❤️
Thank you for making this, you've helped me a bit, buutt I am still debating if psych is for me, and if I am even a person to study it. I'm just scared there will be soo much work, and I won't even get time for myself and to fuck around (meaning: doing all that crazy college stuff, and being free in a sense).
I heard college has a lot more free time than highschool. I think it all depends on how you're gonna manage your time for acads, personal, and social life.
Great stuff! Have added you to my Psych Student playlist
I'm not good at math's and I got 13 percent as a final in my third year psychology stats class. I don't know what its like in Scotland, but here in Canada third year stats is the make or break of most peoples degree in psychology. 70 percent of people ended up failing that stats class in my university too so I'm not alone. I did end up getting the degree after 2 more years of back breaking work and psychological trauma, so yay me.
You're from which university in Canada?
Is it.. That hard? Im scared
Thank youuuu! I start in September, I'm excited!! Could u show us how you organise all Ur notes and what to pack for uni if you're staying at home? I can't find any good videos on these things
How are you finding your first year? ☺️

Thanks for all the information .
This video is honestly SO helpful and honest! I'm about to start my first year in psychology with sociology and so far this is the best video I have found! thank you so much! :)
Thank you! Good luck in your first year, hope you enjoy it!
@@AshleyMacleod thank you so much! good luck to you too!
Could you tell me how your experience of Sociology + Psych is? I'm really confused if I should do a Psych + Eng lit. (Or) Psych + sociology
In the future I have many different interests like (Librarian, Psychologist, adoption, homeschooling, translation, Etc., ) you know, the typical INFP interests:)
So which option would be better?
I'm studying psychology too! GOOD LUCK 🥰😍💋😗💕

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
Hello, I am currently looking at psychology programs. Can you please help me understand which LMS do undergraduate psychology students use at your University?
Also, how do teachers deliver their course material to students? What platforms and learning resources do they use? Or do they just use books?
Will I as student pay for those materials or are they part of the tuition?
Do I need to find course material at the university library or on specific online platforms?
Thank you! N
Im finishing school right now..and i have my final exams..im pretty stressed to be honest..here in my country i put psychology as my first choice ..and basically it depends on the grade I'll get on the exams..i realised that i liked psychology ,when people who had difficulties and stuff asked for my help..and i literally wrote paragraphs of advices and things to do..but i am not sure if that means that i actually like it.. i don't know what i feel but the one thing i can say for sure is that i feel insanely amazing when im helping someone..However i do feel scared that if i go to university I'll end up not liking it..i would love anyone's advice or suggestion on how to handle this and how i can increase the love i have for psychology

Thank you for informative video 🙏🏻 I’m learning about the school psychology field. I heard some information about working with difficult behaviors. But I don’t know how accurate it is. Is it possible that you come across a student with dangerous behaviors, such as throwing chairs, or throwing sharp objects at others? If such a student comes for testing to your office, and during testing, he imposes dangerous to you, can you tell your supervisor or your school administrator that you cannot work with that child anymore? I’m thinking to apply for school psychology program. Thank you very much for your advice.
I'm a 3rd Year psych undergrad student at abertay uni!!
When I’m older I really wanna be a mental health therapist and I heard that I need a psychology degree I heard that’s it’s really hard my mum has a psychology degree and she said that it was really hard
I love your new hair colour!
Thank you!
@@AshleyMacleod See ;)
I'm 21 and studying Psychology, I love it! Are you pursuing your M.A or M.S degree?
If a person isn't planning on doing the MA is it worth studying the BA?
Emilija Valionyte it depends mostly what subjects you did in high school. If you did humanities a Ma or Ba degree would be best, if you did sciences and maths you might be better in a msc or bsc degree.
I'm 21 to and studying psychology
@@henbar7439 with BA or BSc
Thanks😍
I want to study psychology but I don’t know math is there any uni in NYC that doesn’t require math physics or chemistry? :((
Great video
I also study Psychology but in Greece !!!
Can a special education teacher with masters become a clinical psychologist? I recently graduated with a double bachelors in psychology and elementary education. I got accepted in the masters program for special education. Is it possible for teachers to get a PhD in psychology and become a child clinical psychologist? I love this field.
My sister try to study phycology in Germany please tell me the scholarship and full process for graduation
Your psychology study family of psychology science or psychology social?
I would like to study psychology in university, and am currently studying History, Biology, Psychology and Maths at A level. I'm thinking of dropping History, and taking German TestDAF instead? Do you think that would hurt my chances of getting into university for psychology as opposed to just sticking with History?
I don't think it really matters. For Psychology at uni its preferable that you study at least one science at A level and you already do Biology so you are covered.
How pass statistics is it easy to pass in it ?
Great video!! Any psychology fans here? 😃😄
I wonder what is the difference between BCs psychology and BA. Which is better science or art? And is there a difference in the syllabus.
A bit not too much
Can you please name the text books
What is the title of the textbook mentioned in this video?
I'm planning to take a BSc in psychology degree this year but I'm a bit worried because English isn't my first language. So recently I've been focusing on improving my language skills. Do you think it'll be an issue?
Are you from India? If yes, which is the best university for doing bsc psychology in India?
@@varunaviganesh7215 Sorry I'm not from India. I hope you'll be able to find a better university soon :)
Are you a Sri Lankan by any chance?
What subjects did you took in A levels ?
Is a PhD degree obligatory to get a job in psychology? ( Counseling/ School)
can we take phycology after taking c.s?
Which books do u use for studying
Is there a lot of stats in school psychology?
What is the name of your textbook?
How much can one person say "like"
Love from india
Do you have to be good in maths to take psychology? Also I don't have economics too so will it be a problem for me if I am weak in these subs?
There's typically a good deal of stats. Which concerns me honestly. I hate that.
How much of statistics is involved in the course? Can you please give me an idea of that. I wanna study psychology but am weak at statistics, so that bit of information would really help.
I can only speak from my personal experience but I assume that it’s similar for different universities.
Statistics has been a fundamental part of the course at every level. I wouldn’t worry about it too much because they start you off at a basic level e.g. mean, median, mode, range. A lot of students struggle with it and so additional support is given to those who need it. I’m terrible at maths, but I don’t struggle too much with it. You aren’t required to carry out complex calculations as the software you use (SPSS) carries them out for you.
Statistics is important because the majority of studies you read about and conduct yourself will require a statistical analysis of the data.
@@AshleyMacleod Thank you so much for the help and keep up with the good work.☺☺
@@AshleyMacleod what university do you go to
@@AshleyMacleod What if the highest math you took was college algebra? Would you be ready for that kind of stats?
Which university is best for psychology in UK?
Uni of Glasgow
2:41 I got scared
Where do you go in Scotland, if you don’t mind me asking. It’s because mine is in Scotland as well.
Ah cool! I go to the University of Dundee 😄
Ashley Macleod Ah I go to U of Edinburgh :)
It's quite complex but it's good . Its good ☺ haha you're so cute
I am 37 years old from Algeria and I want to study a master’s degree in clinical psychology or Artofunba. Are there these specializations at your university? I ask you for a scholarship if possible, and what are the registration requirements
Do you know about transpersonal psychology?
your intro is 10x louder than your voice
Tewwible
What is your University name?
I go to the University of Dundee 😄
@@AshleyMacleod thanks ♥️❤️
Should I do BA or Bs??? Help!!!
Depends what uni you’re wanting to go to. For example, at Aberdeen there is no difference between the two. However at some others there is a difference in the course itself, BSc is more science based, while BA is more behavioural based
