<b><i>UNLEASH (Undergraduate Research)</b></i>
Our lab invites motivated, sharp, and sociable undergraduates to help us prepare and run studies that explore peoples emotions and thoughts. We study peoples knowledge about their own feelings, behaviors, abilities and personalities. Our research focus is on emotional reaction to different events in life, and an individual's ability to predict his or her own reaction.
RAs are involved in all parts of the research process. Their main responsibility is to run social psychology studies, process and analyze the results, and see how the results fit social psychology theories. There are also lab meetings where research issues are discussed.
Everyone who works in our lab is required to do so for course credit. Consequently, application must be made before the Coruse Add deadline. for the semester.
