Presenters at the British Psychological Society Student
Conference held at Bangor University—April 4, 2008.
After months of expectation, the annual student British Psychological Society (BPS)
Conference organized by BPS Wales, has come and gone. Held at Bangor University –
Wheldon, the conference was a success in its entirety. There were 23 presenters representing Universities from across Wales. They were Swansea, Cardiff, University of
Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC), Glamorgan and Bangor who was not to be outdone.
The topics were wide ranging and can be classified under the varied disciplines of psychology; from educational, health, applied, neuropsychology and the list continues.
Some of these works presented were individual as well as collaborated studies.
Natalie Davies of Glamorgan University made an interesting presentation on Me, Myself and Ana where she spoke about anorexia being a part of one‘s master identity.
Catching up with Natalie, she explained that although anorexia was identified as a trait
of the personality (a word I supplied as to my understanding of the presentation) it is
also a disorder. Anorexia is incorporated in the anorexic‘s identity who, in turn, has a
personified view of anorexia, thus the title ‗Me, Myself and Ana‘ the fond name for
anorexia. Her presentation also looked at the closing down of Pro-Ana websites.

Congratulations!
BANGOR ON TOP AGAIN!!
Congrats Bangor
University!
From L-R: Rosannagh Rogers (Cardiff University); Lisa Kelly,
Alice Robin & Rhiannon Norfolk (all of Bangor University)
Hard-workers
end up in the
psych
department!
At the just concluded British Psychological
Society (BPS) Conference held at Bangor
University, the University came out on top
again. The highlight of the conference saw
Guillaume Thierry presenting three of four
monetary prizes to Bangor top student presenters while the other went to a student of
Cardiff University. These were bursaries of
£25 book tokens donated by the BPS
Wales. Rhiannon Norfolk gave significant
information on The effects of a patient information leaflet on patient satisfaction,
Alice Robins did a very smooth presentation on Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) on Cognitive Functioning, Lisa
Kelly made a remarkable presentation in
Welsh titled Effaith amlder y mewnbwn ar
ddatblygiad geirfa plant yn Gymraeg. (The
Effects of Frequency of Input on the Development of Children‘s Welsh Language);
Rydyn i'n rhif un!
(We are #1!)
and not to be outdone Rosannagh Rogers of
Cardiff University held her own on a brilliant presentation of Something old and
something new: an objective approach to
scoring Theory of Mind ability in adults
with Asperger’s syndrome. It was a lovely
day, which was topped off with a presentation from Guillaume Thierry who in all
seriousness made his presentation on a current study to a laughing audience. Seriously, apart from being informed there
were life-long lessons to be learnt from his
presentation. The take home message
showed special relevance to aspiring researchers and researchers alike. Thank you
Guillaume!

Patient: Doctor, my wife thinks I'm crazy because
I like sausages.
Psychiatrist: Nonsense! I like sausages too.
Patient: Good, you should come and see my
collection. I've got hundreds of them.
I don’t suffer
From insanity,
I enjoy every
moment of it!
A Psychology Affair!(continued)
From the study, the awareness is that studies like hers on this
subject have benefited from these websites. These websites
provide researchers with intimate information into an anorexic‘s life. These websites also give anorexics the opportunity to be honest with themselves and this somehow aids
therapy.
Sioned Evans of Cardiff University presented on Understandings of Well-being across contrasting languages. She
highlighted a study of the response to a well-being questionnaire presented to Italians, Welsh and English participants. It
was the conclusion that the Welsh and English participants
responded equally and in like manner whilst the Italians responded differently. The difference was viewed as cultural,
though there may be other influential factors involved. Wellbeing and the notion of well-being fall in the ambit of Positive Psychology. She pointed out that the ‗Personal and Social Education‘ subject is included in the national curriculum.
This teaches what well-being is and encourages aspirations to
well-being.
Carissa Kuswanto of Bangor made an informative presentation on Why voice hearers with auditory hallucinations do
not develop schizophrenia? She reflected that differences in
brain abnormalities and subjective experiences among other
reasons may account for this. One of the questions put forward was why these voices cannot be controlled? One would
have thought that a simple answer is that these voices are
possibly considered to be external. It was interesting to note
that voices are reported to be both internal and external.
From all accounts there seem to be progress being made in
this area.

POPPS Idol 2008!
Well folks, the 2008 Popps Competition took place on Tuesday 15th April in Varsity, and what a night it was, too.
It was a good turnout, with not only the Mentors, Judges,
Time Keeper, Um Counter, Impromptu Speech Leader and
Speakers attending the event, but a good amount of spectators, all ready to enjoy a night of speeches and fun. And the
fun began before the event did, with people such as Fraser
Bailey getting slowly drunk on his wine and Hazel Frost and
Tracey Lloyd hanging black drinking straws from their hair
so they looked like microphone headsets – ahh, if only we
were all as inventive as these two ladies, what fun we would
have!
The chatter and laughter echoed through the building as everyone sat excitedly for the event to begin, and first up were
the event announcers, Laura Jayne Budd (A 3rd year psychology student) and Hayley Jones (2nd year psychology student)
and Popps Mentors, and straight away, it was clear why these
two ladies were chosen for this role; their ability to make
themselves heard over the crowd was, well… almost effortless.
Now, there was a theme for all the participants: ―Aliens in
Bangor‖ (perish the thought) and ―How do you eat yours?‖
Both topics stirred up some very inventive speeches.
Participants and their speeches:
Alex Dawson – Aliens in Bangor.
Rachael Green – How do you eat yours?
John Crossley – Aliens in Bangor.
Ali Lalloo – How do you eat yours?
Trené Rama – Aliens in Bangor.
Gwilym Cuthbert – How do you eat yours?
Dan Mitchell – Aliens in Bangor.
At the end of the night, there could only be 3 winners.
John Crossley won first prize (A Digital Camera and Photo
Printer) for his speech and rather unique use of his hairbrush
as a microphone. Trené Rama won second prize (An MP3
Player) and Gwilym Cuthbert, who won third prize of a
Dalek Head Mask which included a Dalek Voice changer – a
prize I personally thought was by far the best prize, as it generated limitless fun, along with 6 Cadbury‘s Crème Eggs.

RATS ! Know your subjects!
What did one lab rat say
to the other?
I've got my scientist so
well trained that every
time I push the buzzer, he
brings me a snack.
As psychology students we carry out experiments. In the beginning they are simple, student centered experiments. We all carry out
trivial tests to look at memory or even word
recognition. Thankfully, we have eventually
reached a more advanced stage, involving
complex designs and even get to use more sophisticated subject matter like… rats.
Our lectures will teach us the various
methods and formulae needed for assessing
our data, but who‘s going to teach us about the
rats? How are we expected to interact and manipulate something we know very little about?
In awed expectancy of my great day
of maturity, where I, will be the superior intelligence manipulating the behaviour of a small
furry rat. I feel I should be prepared and should
help you be prepared, by learning some fascinating facts about these curious creatures…

The Latin name for rats is Genus
Ratus from the family Muridae in the
order Rodentia.
There are 550 species of rats.
Rats are the most successful survivors
of any mammal on earth helped by
the ability that just one
breeding pair can produce 2000 little
furry babies a year.
Rats will consume absolutely anything they can find, from soap to dead
bodies. If it can go in their mouth, it
will.
Rats can run 100m in under 10 sec
onds AND can jump six feet. If only
they had their own Olympics!
Rats teeth grow continuously, so they
must constantly gnaw to prevent them
overgrowing
On a Pensive Note
It has been a very long journey of 3 and in
some cases 4 years or more. For others, it has
been as short as a year. Those years have
shaped us to be what we are now – wellfashioned products ready to meet the world—
head on. Though excited we are to leave and
in accord sing ‗R. Kelly‘s – Storm is over now‘
and James Blunt‘s refrain of ‗Goodbye‘ we
will awake a few weeks from now and miss
walking the halls of the Wheldon. I ask of you,
not to look at your leaving as the end of a journey but as the beginning of another leg. Life is
like a relay race my colleagues; you run a leg
at a time.

Rats are good in water and can easily
swim up into a toilet. So from now
on watch your arse!
Rats spend hours cleaning themselves, despite making their homes in
filthy places such as sewers or student accommodation.
Rats taste like hedgehog…. I felt I
should add this fact for scholars
whose loans have not come
through…
The biggest rat ever found was 20
inches in length. More than enough
food for one starving student, although I may still opt for 8p noodles
Rats once took out all the lights in
Heathrow after chewing through a
cable
During World War II, The Japanese
Army planned to dump rats with bubonic plague on Australian beaches.
One 18 year old attempted to hold up
an Edinburgh off-license with a rat
he pulled out of his pocket.
Rats have been to space.
Rats will regularly travel up to 2
miles in search of food.
Finally, there has been much controversy over
the widely whispered story that a cornered rat
will go for your throat. Some have said it is
merely a ridiculous tale. However, I remain
cautious and wary around these suspicious,
multi - talented, ridiculously athletic creatures. When my time comes to lord over these
rodents and carry out my own ludicrous experiments, it will be done in a polo neck and a
scarf in fear of their hidden vicious nature.
For me as your Editor-in-Chief, I say: ―hwyl,
sayonara, au revoir, adios, adieu, salaam, shalom, zai jian, ciao, auf wierdersehen, usale
kahle, giga waabamin, ming longz oe, bai bai,
Namaste, Bless!‖ Whatever language I use to
represent the diversity of culture hosted at Bangor University – I say ―so long‖. Let us in our
journey, leave footprints and if we cannot
leave ours, Let us not muddy those of others!

An Interview with the ‘Heels’
behind the Wheels!
pschI—Phil Borrell
The BPS (British Psychological Society) held its Annual Student Conference at Bangor University this year on
April 4th, and I asked the BPS Wales representative, Helen Taylor a few questions relating to what she thought of
the event this year.
PsycI: ―Can you tell me why the BPS chose to hold the conference in Bangor?‖
Helen: ―The Welsh Branch of The British Psychological Society holds an Annual Student Conference and the venue for
the event alternates between the 5 Universities in Wales that
run psychology degrees.‖ Helen replied. She added, ―So
hopefully it will be held at Bangor again sometime in the
next few years.‖
PsycI: What are your thoughts generally of the presentations
during this year‘s conference?
Helen: ―I thought the presentations were excellent. All of the
students appeared to have put a lot of effort into their talk. 4
prizes were given to the 'best' talks of the event, but really, all
were excellent and well done. The prizes were vouchers for
Blackwells.‖
PsycI: ―What do you think of Bangor University‘s Psychology Department?‖
Helen: ―I was really impressed with the Department, especially the support and academic members of staff who ensured that the event went well on the day.‖
POPPS Idol 2008! Continued
At the end of the event, all three were told by Tracey Lloyd
that they would be welcomed as Popps Mentors next year if
they so desire!
Yet, that was not the end of the fun and speeches: next up
were the Popps Mentors who had to show how good they
really were by doing impromptu speeches.
The Popps Mentors job, is to mentor the first year psychology students who arrive yearly to the Wheldon Building.
Clueless on how to orally present to a large tough and slowly
inebriating audience of first years, is a true challenge to any
Popps Mentor. The Mentors took this in their strides, showing what true public speakers they really were, handling challenging subjects, with frightening ease!
Mentors and their impromptu speeches:
Laura Jayne Budd – Why do teaspoons go missing?
Scott Robson – Danger Ranger.
Hayley Jones – Stripper Name.
Raych Clayton – Favourite Disney Character.
Claire Reed – Is Discharge a good topic for the dinner table?
PsycI: ―Did any one presentation on the day stand out from
the rest, and why?‖
Helen: ―I was unable to watch all of the talks as there were
parallel sessions, but from what the members of academic
staff said, all talks were of a really high standard.‖
PsycI: ― Finally, do you have any other comments to add?‖
Helen: ―Please check the BPS Welsh Branch website at
http://www.bps.org.uk/welsh/welsh_home.cfm for information about future Student Conferences and also for information relating to the BPS in Wales.
I would be happy to receive queries regarding the conference
or any other aspect relating to the welsh branch of the BPS. I
may be reached at the following:
Helen Taylor : Telephone— 02920 417008
or email: [email protected]
Helen would also like to point out to all the participants who
took part in the conference, that their abstracts have been
published online at http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/
proceedings/proceedings_home.cfm, and that all the participants of the conference can now say they have been published.
Sian Green – What happens to all the missing socks?
Fraser Bailey – Toilet seat up or down?
Lisa Mary Elen Kelly – Tracey Lloyd and Hazel Frost.
Tracey Lloyd – Qadi! A subject secretly chosen to get under
Tracey‘s finger nails!
Ohhh! the harshness of some people inflicting misery on others! Poor Tracey!
The Mentor of the year went to a well-deserved Hayley
Jones, as voted for by her Popps students.
The Judges were:
Dr Guillaume Thierry.
Sheila McCabe.
Hazel Frost.
Time Keeper:
Lisa Mary Elen Kelly.
Impromptu Speech Leader:
Lucy Neville Davies.
Um Counter:
Sara Krige.

This year the Student Operatic Drama Association (SODA)
performed their version of, the Tony Award-winning, Thoroughly Modern Millie. The musical, based on the book written by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan, was first performed
in 1967 when Julie Andrews starred as the heroine Millie
Dillmount in the film version of the book, directed by George
Roy Hill. However, its greatest success came when it was
adapted for theatre in the early 2000‘s, winning six Tony
Awards in 2002 including one for Best Musical.
Therefore, this years SODA production had abundant expectations.
The musical follows the story of Millie Dillmount, a young
woman who has moved from a small town in Kansas to New
York City, in the 1920‘s, with the aim to marry for money
instead of love – something that was a modern aim for many
girls in that era. The story has many twists and an underlying
dark current; with the main theme of the story being the pursuit of love. The music throughout successfully portrays the
era, with music associated with the ‗flapper‘ culture dominating – big band and big voices.
To Prospective Students
From a Graduate
Probably, you are all feeling a bit anxious, especially if you
are an international student. The following tips will help:







It is important to familiarize yourselves with all literature sent in your application package. It helped me,
especially if you think there is a chance you might
arrive late.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Office staffs and
others are very helpful.
Come to Bangor with an open mind – you will be
more receptive to learning
International students – there is a strong international
student community for your support. Don’t think you
are the only one from your country. There was someone before you and others will come after you. Make
your mark!
Prospective students – you are coming to fill the shoes
we have stepped out of— make Bangor your home
away from home
Get involved – you are now a part of a family
Finally –– students use the opportunity to build networks!
The production by SODA did not disappoint!
The cast were unbelievable - Ellen Gallagher was brilliant as
the leading lady (Mille) - her vocals were unbelievably good;
MSc Psychology student Danni Shore was fantastic as the
supporting actress (Miss Dorothy) – she successfully portrayed a very timid and unassuming girl form California; Rob
Watts also a MSc Psychology student was hilarious as Miss
Flannery; 1st year Psychology student Jake Basford did exceptionally well as Chinese character Ching Ho – who speaks
Chinese throughout with few English lines; others from the
Psychology department in the production were: Betsy Allbones (Gloria), Steve Ricou (Kenneth/Dexter/Policeman),
Alice Roblin (Dorothy Parker), Victoria Sanvitale (Lucille),
and Ayoni Comrie-Sinclair (Cora) who all played their roles
with outstanding talent.
There was a fantastic display of talent on show in all domains
– singing, dancing and acting, and the performance demonstrated how much determination and dedication the SODA
members possess. Although the production was low budget –
as you would expect from a student association with little
finance – the show had a quaint atmosphere that allowed the
audience to interact with the cast and the basic sets used on
stage allowed the audience the opportunity to use their imagination to paint a more vivid picture of the scene being created. What amazed me was the success of the whole cast in
speaking/singing with American accents throughout – not a
feat easily achieved.
With audiences of over 100 at each performance, this years‘
SODA production was a roaring success and deservedly so!
The only problem now is, how do they top this next year?
For more information about SODA and details of rehearsals
and how to join please visit www.undeb.bangor.ac.uk/soda or

All the best!

Cynhadledd Werth Chweil
Wedi misoedd o ddisgwyl dyfal, mae cynhadledd flynyddol y
British Psychological Society (BPS), a drefnwyd gan BPS
Cymru, wedi bod ac wedi mynd. Bu‘r gynhadledd, a gynhaliwyd yn Adeilad Wheldon ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, yn
llwyddiant drwyddi draw. Roedd 23 o gyflwynwyr, yn cynrychioli prifysgolion o bob rhan o Gymru. Y rhain oedd
Abertawe, Caerdydd, UWIC, Morgannwg, a Bangor ei hun
wrth gwrs. Roedd y pynciau dan sylw‘n eang ac yn cynrychioli gwahanol agweddau ar Seicoleg; yn addysgol,
iechyd, cymhwysol, niwroseicoleg ac felly ymlaen. Roedd
rhai o‘r gweithiau a gyflwynwyd yn astudiaethau gan
unigolion, tra bo eraill yn ffrwyth cydweithio.
Cafwyd cyflwyniad diddorol gan Natalie Davies o Brifysgol
Morgannwg ar Me, Myself and Ana lle soniodd am anorecsia
fel rhan o hunaniaeth feistr rhywun. Eglurodd Natalie er bod
anorecsia‘n cael ei ystyried fel nodwedd o‘r bersonoliaeth, ei
fod hefyd yn anhwylder. Caiff anorecsia ei ymgorffori yn
hunaniaeth y sawl sy‘n anorecsig sydd, wedyn, yn tueddu i
bersonoli‘r anhwylder. Dyna oedd gwraidd y teitl ‗Me, myself and Ana‘ – yr enw anwes am anorecsia. Edrychodd ei
chyflwyniad hefyd ar fater a ddylid cael gwared ar wefannau
Pro-Ana. Fodd bynnag, mae‘n amlwg bod astudiaethau fel un
hi wedi elwa oddi wrth y gwefannau hyn. Maent yn rhoi
gwybodaeth gyfrin i ymchwilwyr am fywydau rhai sy‘n dioddef o‘r anhwylder. Mae‘r gwefannau hyn hefyd yn rhoi
cyfle i rai sy‘n dioddef o anorecsia i fod yn onest gyda hwy
eu hunain ac mae hyn, trwy ryw ffordd, o gymorth i therapi.
Testun cyflwyniad Sioned Evans o Brifysgol Caerdydd oedd
Understandings of Well-being across contrasting languages.
Bu‘n trafod astudiaeth o‘r ymateb i holiadur ar les a roddwyd
i Eidalwyr, Cymry a Saeson. Daethpwyd i‘r casgliad bod y
Cymry a‘r Saeson a gymerodd ran wedi ymateb yn debyg tra
bod yr Eidalwyr wedi ymateb yn wahanol. Ystyriwyd mai
gwahaniaeth diwylliannol oedd yn gyfrifol yn bennaf am
hyn, er y gallai ffactorau dylanwadol eraill hefyd fod yn
breennol.
Mae lles a‘r syniad o les yn dod o fewn maes Seicoleg Bositif. Eglurodd bod y pwnc ‗Addysg Bersonol a Chymdeithasol‘ wedi‘i gynnwys yn y cwricwlwm cenedlaethol. Mae
hyn yn dysgu plant a phobl ifanc beth ydyw lles ac yn eu
hannog i ymgyrraedd at hynny.
Cafwyd cyflwyniad llawn gwybodaeth gan Carissa Kuswanto
o Fangor ar Why voice hearers with auditory hallucinations
do not develop schizophrenia? Eglurodd y gall gwahaniaethau mewn abnormaleddau yn yr ymennydd a phrofiadau
goddrychol, ymysg pethau eraill, fod yn gyfrifol am hyn. Un
o‘r cwestiynau a ofynnwyd yw pam na ellir rheoli‘r lleisiau
hyn? Byddai rhywun wedi meddwl mai ateb syml i hyn yw
bod y lleisiau hyn yn cael eu hystyried yn rhai allanol o
bosib. Roedd yn ddiddorol nodi y ceir adroddiadau bod lleisiau yn fewnol ac allanol. I bob golwg mae‘n ymddangos
bod cynnydd yn cael ei wneud yn y maes hwn.
Bangor ar y brig unwaith eto !
Yng nghynhadledd y British Psychological Society (BPS),
a gynhaliwyd yn ddiweddar ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, daeth
y Brifysgol i‘r brig unwaith eto. Yn uchafbwynt i‘r gynhadledd gwelwyd Guillaume Thierry yn cyflwyno tair o
bedair gwobr ariannol i gyflwynwyr uchaf Bangor, tra aeth
y wobr arall i fyfyriwr o Brifysgol Caerdydd. Y gwobrau
hyn oedd tocynnau llyfr gwerth £25 a roddwyd gan book
BPS Cymru. Cafwyd cyflwyniad llyfn iawn gan Alice
Robins ar Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) on
Cognitive Functioning; gan Rhiannon Norfolk wedyn cafwyd gwybodaeth bwysig ar The effects of a patient information leaflet on patient satisfaction; traddododd Lisa
Kelly gyflwyniad hynod yn Gymraeg gyda‘r teitl
Effaith amlder y mewnbwn ar ddatblygiad geirfa plant yn
Gymraeg; a chafwyd cyflwyniad gwych gan Rosannagh
Rogers o Brifysgol Caerdydd ar Something old and something new: an objective approach to scoring Theory of
Mind ability in adults with Asperger‘s syndrome. Bu‘n
ddiwrnod i‘w gofio, ac yn ddiweddglo addas cafwyd
cyflwyniad llawn hiwmor gan Guillaume Thierry ar astudiaeth sydd ar y gweill ar hyn o bryd.
L-R: Rosannagh Rogers (Prifysiol Caerdydd); Lisa Kelly,
Alice Robin & Rhiannon Norfolk (o Prifysgol Bangor)
Yn ogystal â chyfrannu gwybodaeth, roedd yna lawer o wersi
pwysig i‘w dysgu o‘i gyflwyniad a‘i ddull o‘i draddodi.
Diolch yn fawr Guillaume!
Delusional or Illusional!
A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session
with four young mothers and their small children. "You
all have obsessions," he observed. To the first mother
he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You even
named your daughter Candy." He turned to the second
mom. "Your obsession is money. Again, it manifests
itself in your child's name, Penny." He turned to the
third mom. "Your obsession is alcohol and your child's
name is Brandy."
At this point, the fourth mother got up, took her little
boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick, let's
go home."
We’re on the
Web!
A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful
woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up
his courage, he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a
while?"
She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "NO! I
won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the bar is
now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly
and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his
table.
After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and
apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I
embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in
psychology, and I'm studying how people respond to
embarrassing situations."
To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do
you mean $200?"
