Mae Dr Amy Isham yn Ddarlithydd mewn Seicoleg. Mae'n Seicolegydd Amgylcheddol sy'n ymchwilio i'r cysylltiad rhwng lles seicolegol a chynaliadwyedd ecolegol. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn ymdrin â'r ffactorau a all helpu pobl i fyw'n iach ac yn gynaliadwy neu eu hatal rhag byw'n iach ac yn gynaliadwy. Mae ganddi ddiddordeb penodol yn effaith diwylliant defnyddwyr ar les personol a chymdeithasol, yn ogystal â'r ffordd y gall cyflyrau seicolegol megis llif (ymgolli mewn gweithgaredd) neu ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar helpu i gefnogi pobl i ffynnu mewn modd llai materoliaethol.

Cwblhaodd Amy ei PhD ym Mhrifysgol Surrey, gan weithio yn CUSP (Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity). Archwiliodd ymchwil ei PhD i berthnasedd ‘llif’ seicolegol i'r cysylltiad rhwng materoliaeth a lles personol gwaeth. Mae Amy yn parhau i gydweithredu â CUSP ar ymchwil sy'n ymwneud â dimensiynau seicolegol ffyniant cynaliadwy.

Cyn dechrau ei PhD, cwblhaodd Amy BSc (Anrh) mewn Seicoleg ym Mhrifysgol Warwick ac MSc mewn Seicoleg Hysbysebu ym Mhrifysgol Lancaster. Mae hi'n Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch.

PSA100 Academic Skills and Foundational Concepts in Statistics and Research Methods (Joint Honours)

This module will introduce Psychology students to foundational concepts in statistics and research methods. Students will be introduced to the British Psychological Society¿s ethical principles, and will explore ethics in research through the study of historical case studies of problematic research. This module will cover experimental and observational research designs, and how we can measure psychological constructs such as traits, attitudes, and emotions. Students will receive a solid grounding in statistical theory, and will learn to summarise, present, analyse, and interpret data. Additionally, through small group sessions led by their Personal Academic Mentor, students will develop key academic skills, including literature searching, essay planning and writing, oral presentation skills, making use of feedback, and academic referencing.
