PsychLab is a virtual laboratory on psychological change developed by UNED’s Constructivist Research Group.
This laboratory contains tools for the exploration of the System of Personal Meanings, evaluation of its structure, representation of the system through Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and its dynamics of change through behavior graphs vs. time that allow us to simulate the evolution of the System through mathematical modeling and identify psychological obstacles that hinder change.
It is an open use space for researchers, clinicians, students and users in general who want to explore the structure and dynamics of the Personal Meaning System of a particular individual or patient.
The laboratory is an ideal space for those who want to study, evaluate and explore psychological change.
At the same time as a large number of analyzes and evaluation indices are presented, an experimentation space is presented, in which it is possible to explore how the System would evolve if changes are made to the chosen constructs.
Call for research grants 2022.

To create a PsychLab account, you must log in at the top right of the home screen at https://psychlab.uned.es. Then click on “Register” and fill out the registration form.
With the free version of PsychLab, you can only add two tested subjects and one grid, and one implication grid for each of them.
Once you are logged in to your account, you can manage your evaluated subjects by clicking on the “Patients” tab in the right navigation bar. Here you can add, edit, delete and view all the people you have registered for assessment.
To generate a Repertory Grid in PsychLab, you must select the patient you want to evaluate and add the grid. You can import a grid from a pre-filled Excel template or use the form provided by PsychLab.
The WimpGrid is a semi-structured interview designed to explore how the person anticipates the consequences associated with changes in him/herself.
It is not necessary to perform a RepGrid. A FCM can be performed through the laboratory by directly performing a wimpgrid.

To ensure the security and privacy of our users’ data, we have taken a meticulous, multi-layered approach to our data protection policy. We are aware of the importance of security in today’s digital environment and, therefore, we have implemented various strategies and technologies, including the use of identity and access management platforms such as Keycloak, to reinforce our security measures.
We have established strict password policies to ensure our users choose strong, secure passwords. These policies include requirements on password length and complexity. Additionally, we conduct audits and maintain detailed records of user activities on our systems to effectively monitor and review security operations. This practice allows us to quickly identify and address any potential security vulnerabilities or incidents.
Compliance with ISO 27001
We comply with the ISO 27001 standard, an internationally recognized standard for information security management. This certification demonstrates our commitment to data protection and requires us to maintain a robust and continually improving Information Security Management System (ISMS). We follow the policies and procedures established in ISO 27001, which include risk identification and management, the implementation of effective security controls, and the continuous auditing of our processes.
Email address verification is a crucial step in our registration and account management process. This practice ensures that important communications reach our users securely and provides a mechanism to regain account access if login credentials are lost.
At our organization, we understand the importance of protecting passwords effectively. That's why we use advanced hashing and salting techniques to ensure that all passwords stored on our system are difficult to crack, even in the unfortunate event of a data breach. This approach ensures that our users' sensitive information remains safe and secure.
We have implemented a robust authentication and authorization system to manage access to our applications and services. Using Keycloak, we are able to offer a secure and convenient user experience by using Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing our users to access multiple services with a single set of credentials. This technology not only simplifies the login process for users, but also strengthens our security by minimizing the number of passwords they need to manage.
We recognize the importance of additional security, especially in critical operations. Therefore, we have implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) as a standard in our security policy. This measure requires users to provide a second form of verification, in addition to their password, to access their accounts, adding an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
