Research in social psychology

The principal educational settings of the program are the Psychology Department’s research groups, forums, and lab meetings. These are groups of faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students drawn together by common theoretical concerns and research interests. Groups are initiated both by faculty and graduate students. All graduate students and faculty from the program meet weekly at our Social Forum, for which students receive course credit. Other coursework is minimal and includes elective courses within and beyond the Psychology Department, with the aim of providing a strong theoretical and methodological foundation for the students’ program of research.
