Description

Our lab examines how racial and gender-related stereotypes can affect people’s sense of belonging to social groups. We are running several interesting studies in the lab and are currently looking for 499s to help run subjects, conduct literature reviews, assist in manuscript preparation, and assist with data. This is an interactive lab, so all 499s will get a chance to work closely with the faculty advisor. Typically, RAs in this lab learn how to run studies, analyze data in Excel and SPSS, and program studies in Qualtrics.
