Individual differences and multiple-tasks-KING (multitasking) ^^


What happens when you wear multiple hats?

Facebook, CNN, and BBC all have articles on multitasking recently. 

Even in recent daily lives, multitasking seems phenomenal among friends: vacationing while thinking about research project/ thesis and internship placement :D

When multitasking is mentioned, different people has different perceptions and focal point. 

Some believe females are better multitask-ers than males, while some think multitasking is the most effective and efficient way to do things. 
And all these prevailing beliefs, or our own observations couldn't be understood or validated without research investigation. 

Sunway University's Department of Psychology has seek to understand if individual differences are related to multitasking, career attitudes ,and other factors that are not foreign to us in daily lives (e.g., procrastination) :) 

*We welcome Pre-University (Foundation) and Undergraduate (Degree) students who are Malaysians and >18 years old for research participation.*

For first year students, you get a taste of the Scientific side of Psychology, which is scientific investigation of human's thought and behavior. You will also be exposed to the psychological materials and methodologies used in research.

Similarly for second and third year students, you will be exposed to different psychological measures and methodologies used during study participation. It would probably help in brain-storming your coming 3rd year research project (2nd year students), or to incorporate some of the ideas to masters dissertation (3rd year students).

Most importantly, your participation helps in building on the knowledge and insights we have in particular field. Every steps, despite small, is a step forward, and a step to something great.
