  • individual or group characteristics and behaviours
  • politics, economies and urban development

Advice on research activities

This includes all normal psychological studies of behaviour, memory and cognitive processes. If the study also involves mapping brain structure it should be double coded 1.1 Biological and 1.2 Psychological and, correspondingly, 50% Neurological and 50% Mental Health.

Excludes studies investigating psychological disorders, however it may be appropriate for studies using patients as controls to understand normal function.
