Founded in the early 1960s, the Department has grown to become one of the most esteemed Departments of Psychology in Canada.
Our faculty and our graduate program are internationally renowned.
UW Psychology's Geoff Fong is one of the featured speakers at the CIHR Trailblazer Awards will be presented on September 24, 2018 at York University. The awards support early-, mid- and senior-career researchers who continue to make exceptional contributions that promote population and public health for Canadians and citizens around the world through evidenced-based health policies as well as interventions.
For the second time in a few years, this Department has a research team that has won the Ig Nobel! This time it’s Lindie Liang, Doug Brown, Huiwen Lian, Samuel Hanig, Lance Ferris, and Lisa Keeping in the I/O Area. The Ig Nobel awards celebrate work that “first makes people laugh, and then makes them think”. You can read all about it at The Guardian.
Companies should avoid scheduling important work tasks immediately following an election, according to a study from the University of Waterloo.
Researchers discovered the outcome of a U.S. presidential election can affect employees’ engagement and performance at work — if they voted for the losing side. Although experts have long known that ongoing family issues and other stresses can affect the workplace, less is known about the effect of more discrete events.
