Module / Subject / School

PSY373: Psychology of Nonverbal Behaviours
Singapore University of Social Sciences

Requirements

Question 1: Staying socially connected is important for our psychological well-being especially during stressful times. A study by Holtzman et al. (2017) found that in-person support was associated with significantly higher positive affect compared to text messaging. Read about the study here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2017.01.043

Replicate the study by Holtzman et al. (2017) and examine if there are differences between in-person and online support in the Singapore context.

Part A: One-Page Research Poster
Analyse your results and support your answers with the scores obtained from each social interaction.

Part B: 3-Minute-Thesis Presentation
Apply your knowledge of nonverbal behaviours to analyse the results of your experiment. Present your findings in a 3-minute thesis presentation video, following the guidelines for a 3-minute thesis presentation (https://threeminutethesis.uq.edu.au/about). The presentation should be targeted at a non-specialist audience.

Our Writer’s Comment

This assessment evaluates whether students can replicate a study accurately, analyse results, and communicate findings clearly.

Common issues students encounter include

  • Weak replication fidelity. Experimental design or scoring methods differ significantly from the original study.
  • Superficial analysis. Results are presented without linking scores to nonverbal behaviour theory.
  • Poor communication. Posters or 3-minute thesis videos are confusing or fail to convey findings to a non-specialist audience.

High-scoring submissions replicate the study carefully and present findings clearly.

How to Strengthen Your Submission

  • Follow the original study closely. Ensure your methods and scoring align with Holtzman et al. (2017).
  • Link results to theory. Apply nonverbal behaviour concepts to explain differences between in-person and online support.
  • Communicate clearly. Posters should be visually concise, and the 3-minute thesis video should be simple, structured, and engaging.
  • Target a non-specialist audience. Avoid jargon; explain findings in relatable terms.

Strong submissions demonstrate experimental skill, theoretical understanding, and clear communication.
