Spring 2019 Recruitment--Social & Moral Development Lab

The Social and Moral Development Lab within the Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology  in the College of Education is currently recruiting talented, motivated undergraduate students to work as Research Assistants in the lab for the Spring 2019 semester. The lab is supervised by Dr. Melanie Killen.

Students are able to receive EDHD 498 or PSYC 479 credit as Research Assistants in the Social and Moral Development Lab. Working in the Social and Moral Development Lab provides students with excellent experience in preparation for graduate school, as well as gives students the opportunity to engage in the research process in an active lab environment. 

 

 

 

The Social and Moral Development Lab is recruiting Research Assistants to work on several exciting projects that involve research with children and adolescents. One of our new projects involves testing the efficacy of a web-based computer tool to enhance friendships across boundaries in children ages 8 to 11 years in public schools.  We are eager to recruit Research Assistants from a range of racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Research Assistants in our lab learn about the process of research, read the literature in developmental psychology, meet with a research group once a week (with the supervising professor), and learn how to collect data from interviews, surveys, and online responses. Our projects involve children’s conceptions of fairness and merit, as well as examine topics of ethnic and racial identity development, gender, social exclusion, peer and intergroup relations, prejudice, stereotyping, and moral judgment.
