I'm sorry no-one got back to you about this on time. Did you manage to choose to a topic to do your dissertation on in the end? :smile:

So the first place to start will be asking yourself questions such as the area of psychology you're most interested in? Have you done essays/reports on anything and thought 'actually I'd like to find out more about that?' Do you prefer working with quantitative or qualititative data?

Quantitative is the area I prefer and mental health and counselling is what I like
Have you spoken to your supervisor or course director about this? What progress have you made since you posted this a week ago?

That's what I'd approach your dissertation tutor with :smile: Do some independent research into qualititative based mental health studies...maybe involving students as it'll be much easier to get your ethics approved if you use a student population.

I looked at articles, I have body image in males as a back up but I’m just not that interested In it. I have a meeting with them next week, so I need to have a research study together
