Undergraduate students

Honours thesis students

The Undergraduate Honours Thesis in Psychology (PSY6001 and PSY6002) is a six-credit research project designed for students in the honours/specialization stream at UQAM. Generally spanning the fall and winter semesters of the final year of study, this activity allows students to design and conduct empirical research under the direct supervision of a professor. Depending on the chosen topic, the curriculum may include a literature review, hypothesis formulation, statistical data analysis, as well as writing a scientific thesis or presenting the findings at a symposium.

Enrollment in this workshop requires having completed at least 60 credits in the Bachelor of Psychology program and maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5/4.3. In addition, the student must obtain written confirmation that a professor—Marie-Hélène Véronneau, in the case of this laboratory—will officially supervise the thesis.

Research interests

I am interested in the relational dynamics that act as protective or risk factors among youth presenting with a psychological disorder, particularly generalized anxiety disorder. More specifically, I wish to understand the influence of these relationships on their academic path and adaptation in educational settings, while exploring the role of emotional competence and self-efficacy in reducing anxiety symptoms.
