Explaining research competencies

Professional competency 3.17 of APAC's Accreditation Standards states that psychology graduates need to "Investigate a substantive individual research question relevant to the discipline of psychology". But what does that mean in practice? Associate Professor Melissa Davis, now a member of the APAC Board and Chair of its Accreditation Assessment Committee, led off a discussion at the AusPLAT conference in nipaluna/Hobart in September 2023. The session was sponsored by APAC, which acknowledges the cooperation of the APS Psychology Education Interest Group in making this edited recording available.
