Frequently Asked Questions

By being a part of this lab, you will gain some valuable research experience. You will be "doing" psychology, rather than merely reading about it. If you are interested in attending graduate school, this experience will be invaluable.
 

You should meet the requirements for undergraduate independent study. In terms of experience, prior knowledge about psychology is always helpful. We are primarily looking for people who are interested in the topic and would like to learn more about it and research. Knowledge of MS word, Excel, and SPSS is helpful, but not necessary.
 

You will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of activities, including: learning about experimental design and development, providing feedback about materials, running and conducting experimental session, learning basics about data entry and analysis, finding out about the latest research findings, and becoming familiar with the affect and motivation literature.
 

The amount of time you spend in the lab depends on how many credits you sign up for. Typically we are looking for people who would like to sign up for 2 credits (but 1 and 3 are possible) and be a part of the lab for 2 semesters.
