Ideas for my 3rd year thesis (shall be updated as time goes on)

Mar 10, 2013 17:39

I'm not sure, but I think we maaay have the choice of a purely essay-based thesis and one that is more a project than thesis and involves its own experiment. Not terribly keen atm on doing some really basic pile-of-crap experiment with the resources available to me at undergraduate level, so I will throw out some ideas for the former:
  • Something to do with attitudes towards white people/westerners in Hong Kong - I've been wanting to look into this since college. Especially interested in examining the positive racism that goes on in this context.
  • Discrimination and societal attitudes towards people diagnosed with personality disorders
  • Anything on DID. Anyyythiiing (not going to happen, amount of research is too small)
  • Kind of bored of ASD at the moment, but if my interest comes back, then something about the lack of support/awareness regarding autistic adults
  • Psychosis/Schizophrenia
  • Psychopathy/sociopathy (but not how it relates to the criminal/justice system...just steer away from that in general)
  • Freudian/Jungian ideas
  • An interesting idea from Liam - do video games have benefits? e.g. increased response time, increased pattern recognition, whatever. Would need to use a very basic game tho.

Will think of more in the gap between now and the time I actually have to write it.
