UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Psychology touches almost every aspect of our lives. As society has become more complex, psychology has assumed an increasingly important role in answering questions about our functioning, abilities, and behaviour. The Psychology program at Laurier is structured to ensure that students are exposed to the breadth of content that exists within the discipline while still permitting sufficient flexibility for students to pursue their own particular interests.

People at Laurier
Dr. Anne Wilson |
||||||||||||



A social psychologist that specializes in self-appraisals, Dr. Anne Wilson explores how comparisons shape people’s self-image over the course of their lives, which influences their current well-being, satisfaction and health in general. Of particular interest are the comparisons they make to others and those involving their former selves. Her research will eventually lead to programs that can help people deal with major life events including going to university, changing jobs and moving into assisted living.
