Provides the student with an opportunity to initiate and complete a research project in one of several areas predetermined by the course instructor. Grounded in the psychological literature, students will design a novel empirical investigation based on wok being done in the faculty mentor’s lab/areas of research interest. Under faculty supervision, the student will be responsible for developing all stimulus materials and measures, and getting approval to carry out their research through the Cedar Crest College Institutional Review Board (IRB). Students will submit an APA-formatted research proposal at the conclusion of the fall semester, and will share their proposal with the college community at a poster session. At the end of the spring semester students are required to submit an APA-format manuscript based on their completed research, and present their research results at both the annual Cedar Crest College Health and Wellness Conference and the annual LVAIC Undergraduate Psychology Conference. Prerequisites: A grade of B or better in both PSY 211 and 212 is required to enroll in PSY 365. Senior standing is normally required, but advanced juniors may receive permission to enroll. An application/proposal must be submitted the spring semester prior to the planned research.
