Welcome
Psychology > psyche (breath, spirit, soul)
At Clark's nationally-known School of Psychology, faculty, graduate students and undergraduates search together for insight into questions that have fascinated people since the beginning of time. Why do we behave the way we do? How did this behavior evolve? What is the relationship between emotion and thought? How can we get along better with each other and live more satisfying lives?

We're proud to announce that Esteban Cardemil and Alisha Pollastri are the recipients of this year's Learn and Serve faculty grant, awarded by the Community Engagement & Volunteering (CEV) Center at Clark. This grant was awarded to support the integration of community-based learning into their course, Research in Community (PSYC232). Community-based learning integrates community engagement and reflection into the curriculum, enabling students to apply their classroom learning in community settings, reciprocally enriching student learning. This year's Research in Community course engages undergraduates through participation in Alisha's dissertation study on emotional expression between urban male friends. Esteban and Alisha have received $1,000, which will be used for the administration of the community-based research study and for providing useful feedback to participants and staff from South High Community School.
USA Today quoted psychology professor Jeffrey Jensen Arnett in
the article, "Federally funded ad campaign holds up value of marriage." With a
cynical attitude, Professor Arnett was one of the first to study emerging
adulthood. "They take marriage very seriously. That is a very private journey,
that search for the soul mate. I can't imagine they'd want the advice of a
government agency."
Professor Michael Addis spoke at the second annual Hope for Depression Research Foundation Seminar in Palm Beach, Florida. He was invited to present at the event's Research-in-Action Seminar, focusing on men and depression. Other speakers included former NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw and John Hopkins psychiatry department chair, Ray DePaulo.
