MORE: Minority-Oriented Research Evaluation is a cross-disciplinary content analysis project examining the social sciences literature and its attention to racial/ethnic/cultural minorities. Student researchers will categorize and code journal articles based on topic, level of minority focus, methodology, sample characteristics, and other quantitative factors. Recruiting RA's for pay (starting at $14.25).
Involved students will benefit in terms of:
- Greater familiarity with PsycINFO (digital database for social science research),
- Increased ability to dissect and understand the structure of journal articles,
- Insight into the larger breadth of social science research topics (clinical and non-clinical)
- An awareness of the relative under-supply of research focused on U. S. minorities (racial/ethnic/cultural)
- Regular discussions about the application process for graduate school (especially clinical programs), and what admissions committees look for in students.
RA Tasks:
- Reviewing and qualitatively coding journal articles
- Working in partnerships for better accuracy/reliability in coding
- Participate in weekly quality control meetings
- Verify accuracy of data previously collected
- Developing research posters/presentations
