Process Research in Couple Therapy
The overarching goal of this project is to understand how couples change during couple therapy. We use couples’ responses to questionnaires that are administered throughout therapy as part of the Marriage and Family Therapy Process Research Network and/or video recordings from sessions of therapy to examine processes of interest. Each year we examine a different aspect of the change process. This opportunity is particularly useful for students interested in pursuing graduate training as a marriage and family therapist.

Project AHEAD (Advancing Health and Education for Adolescent Development)
Project AHEAD (Advancing Health and Education for Adolescent Development) investigates how gender-based socialization during the adolescent years (e.g., gender roles, gender stereotypes) shapes adolescent adjustment outcomes, particularly mental/emotional health and academic well-being. We will be collecting two waves of longitudinal data on a national sample of adolescents between Fall 2019 and Winter 2020. RAs are being sought to begin as early as Summer 2019.

CEC
In the CEC, we aim to understand how we make sense of the world around us. We investigate the development of social cognition and emotion understanding in infancy and childhood by assessing infants' emotion attributions, false-belief understanding, imitation/emulation, and false-emotion attributions using a multi-method approach, which includes non-verbal measures, behavioral paradigms, violation-of-expectation paradigms, and eye-tracking. We also investigate the role of context in emotion perception, especially as it pertains to how facial expressions of emotion are categorized and visually processed. Potential applicants are encouraged to have taken Research Methods and Statistics. Prior research experience is encouraged, but not required.
