Rat Skills offers you practical psychological tips & tricks to improve your daily life!
Rat Skills' mission is to make psychological knowledge & skills accessible to all.
You can also do a short quiz to test your knowledge. It is nice to check if you have remembered everything correctly!
Each topic, for example this one about assertiveness, contains a short video. Don't like videos? We have added the complete transcript for you to read.
Delve further into the subject by reading the 'theory'. Here, the fundamental principles of the topic are discussed in greater detail. Additionally, we have shared practical examples and results of scientific studies.
Practice makes perfect! Therefore, you will find several exercises per topic, allowing you to put the information from the video and theory into practice yourself.
"It's cool to learn about things that you may not prioritise enough, but that are actually quite useful. With the tips in the topic, you can immediately practice at work or at home."
"An important overview. As psychologists, we should really know about all the Rat Skills topics. It's a beautiful balance between science and practice!"
On Rat Skills, you will find more than 30 psychological topics. These topics are divided into themes such as 'communication skills', 'emotions', 'productivity' and 'lifestyle'. See six sample topics below.
Rat Skills intends to make psychological knowledge and skills accessible. You can use the app to learn new things, to prepare for a training or to find out more about a topic you want to discuss with your psychologist or coach.
The Internet is full of information about psychology. It is not always clear whether it was written by an expert or layman. With Rat Skills you have all the psychological know-how in one handy app.
In each topic, the theory is based on the professional literature of psychologists. For each topic you will find the references, so you know where we get our information from. Additionally, you can read the extra literature if you want to know even more about the topic.
Rat Skills is an e-learning rather than a game. Still, it's fun. For example, most of the images are made by AI, which of course is quite cool. Also, our marketeer edited the videos and thought it necessary to hide a pink rat in each video. Can you find it?
Rat Skills contains exercises that psychologists and coaches use in one-on-one sessions and trainings. For good reasons. The exercises help you improve your psychological knowledge and skills.
Rat Skills does not collect your personal data, nor do we use advertising, targeted or untargeted, to gain extra profits. Our goal is to make psychology accessible for everyone!
