LABORATORY OF PSYCHOLOGY

Laboratory of psychology is a work unit tasked with facilitating all student practicum activities, research and development of experimental psychological tools. The initial idea of creating a psychology laboratory has existed since the Faculty of Psychology was established in 196, led by the founder of the Faculty of Psychology. The aim is to facilitate the making of a student’s final project or better known as a methodical thesis. Along with curriculum changes from time to time, the laboratory of Psychology facilitates other lecture activities such as Biopsychology in providing miniatures of the human brain, psychodiagnostics and counseling practicums as well as practicum with experimental methods where the development of psychophysical experimental tools is developed.

To answer global challenges, since 2018, the Laboratory of Psychology has begun to develop a “Computer based experimental assessment” with a flagship program developing Implicit Associative Test for measuring attitudes, sexual orientation and happiness in collaboration with related parties such as Dinas Psikologi Angkatan Darat and several universities in Indonesia. In addition, the Laboratory of Psychology Universitas Padjadjaran has a database of psychological instruments containing more than 2000 measurement scales and their manuals for psychological constructs such as: well-being, happiness, leadership resilience, Political Skill inventory, etc. which is useful to help the psychology academic community of Universitas Padjadjaran (civitas) in conducting research and completion of final tasks. This database can only be registered by civitas who is registered in the system.

Laboratory of Psychology Facilities

The Laboratory of Psychology is a work unit that has the main task to facilitate all lecture activities such as: Psychodiagnostics and counseling practicum, experimental method practicum and data collection of psychological research. To support these activities, several facilities and infrastructure are owned by the Laboratory of Psychology which is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Mar’at Building.

Lecture Facilities

Facilities owned by the laboratory consist of:

  • 1 administration room
  • 1 CCTV monitoring room
  • 1 workshop

Experimental Methods Practicum Facilities

To facilitate the learning process in improving students’ professional skills, the laboratory of psychology have experimental practicum tools for measuring psychophysical research, including:

Digital Speed Anticipation Reaction Tester and Simple Reaction Time Tester

an experimental instrument that aims to measure the speed of reaction time, namely the time interval required for the appearance of a reaction or response due to being presented with a stimulus. This instrument can be given either when there is interference or without interference

Depth Perception Box

an instrument that used to measure depth perception. Measurements using this instrument produce data regarding the perception of the individual’s relative distance to the object that he or she observes with or without interference.

Steadiness Tester

an instrument that used to measure visual motor coordination. In experiments, visual motor coordination can be analogized as routine work that the subject faces in his work situation

Poggendorf Illusion Tester

An experimental instrument that aims to provide an illusion. Pongendorf’s illusion is an influence given to experiments in perceiving Gestalt letters which are arranged based on the Factor of Clusure principle (parts of letters that are cut off or not connected). Thus, this instrument aims to see the effect of the Pongendorf Illusion in the perception of Gestalt letters.

Muller-Lyer Illusion Tester

An instrument to see errors that can be made in the process of perception of the sense of sight.

Wiggly Block

An instrument that aims to measure the ability of visual construction on three-dimensional objects.

Visual Motor Coordination

The test is used to measure visual motor coordination. This instrument measures the same aspects as the Steadiness Tester but with a different experimental process.

Mirror Tracing Apparatus

An experimental instrument used for many experimental studies. Aims to see motor learning skills and visual coordination. Subjects were asked to trace the pattern by looking in a mirror so that the subject did not see the pattern directly.

Psychological Instruments Database Facility

This psychological instrument database contains more than 2000 psychological instruments in the form of questionnaires and interview guides that are made from students’ final assignments. All instruments are equipped with a manual that contains conceptual definitions, theories, reliability and evidence of the validity of measuring instruments. This instrument can be accessed privately for the academic civitas with prior registration via email a.radiansyah@unpad.ac.id and lab.psikologi@unpad.ac.id
In addition to being able to see the instruments that can be used for research, this Instrument database web can also be used by students to submit a laboratory-free letter by following the guidelines: Surat Pengantar Bebas Lab (Lab-Free Cover Letter)
