Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate journal of Psychology

Intuition is an undergraduate academic journal that is managed, edited, and designed by an editorial board composed of students and faculty. Intuition publishes psychological essays, reviews, research, studies, and/or creative works by psychology undergraduates. Intuition allows students to showcase their work and gain publication experience, while also creating an incentive for students to perform research and to create. In the editorial process, Intuition gives students valuable experience reviewing and editing manuscripts as well as learning how to be critical reviewers and consumers of psychological literature. In addition, Intuition allows all involved students to network with other high-achieving students and faculty through the experience of publishing. Come join our effort to further the study of psychology at Brigham Young University.

William James Society

The William James Society seeks to honor the intellectual legacy of the “Father of American Psychology” by providing a space for students and faculty to come together and discuss critical issues at the intersection of psychology, science, philosophy, religion, and culture. We strive to cultivate an interdisciplinary approach to the study of psychology that engages questions about the role that meaning, social relationships, experience, morality, and agency play in fostering a broader and deeper understanding of human life.

Our activities include: Faculty Guest Lectures, informal group discussions, movie nights, panel presentations, social events, and more!
