Improvement and support of Psychological Sciences
The
program is focused on the identification and rectification of weaknesses in
teaching, research and clinical practice at Charles University. The second aim
of the program is to create an integrative concept and framework in psychology
that can support collaboration and networking in this field. The third general
aim is to define and establish particular strategies and tasks for the
improvement of selected cross-institutional areas/topics in psychology in
theory and empirical research. The program addresses the current situation at
different faculties of Charles University: different approaches to similar
issues, different standards of technical equipment and facilities for research,
different strategies and approaches to building research capacities and human
resources management, and a low degree of mutual collaboration and motivation
for networking and creating joint research and education program at Charles
University and elsewhere.
Research groups from the First Faculty of Medicine that participate on this program are structured around 3 comprehensive projects:
- Randomized Prevention Trial of the Universal Drug Prevention Intervention
- The effect of ADHD on particular psychological functions, life-skills and quality of life among clients of therapeutic communities for addictions
- Methodology and Policy documents
Research teams from following departments participate in the project:
Project coordinator: prof. PhDr. Michal Miovský PhD.
