1.00 Credits
A general introduction to conceptual issues related to research in the area of human development. Students participate in group research projects involving observational and experimental techniques and receive training in all phases of research, including formulating research questions, data collection and analysis, and report writing.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101, PSYC 105, PSYC 108, and PSYC 109
-
1.00 Credits
This course involves students learning about and conducting research in the area of human motivation. Students will be exposed to several theories of motivation including drive theory, self-determination theory, attribution theory, and expectancy theory. Students will learn about the various methods psychologists use to test their theories including self-reports, observations of interaction, and experiments conducted in the laboratory. At several points, students will have the opportunity to practice their developing research skills by conducting research projects. The projects will be in both individual and group formats. As part of these projects, students will conduct literature reviews, select and develop measures, collect data, conduct analyses, and write up their findings.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101 , PSYC 105 , PSYC 108 , AND PSYC 109 or instructor's permission.

This course involves students in ongoing research addressing issues related to children’s social and emotional development, with a specific emphasis on the family’s contributions to adaptive functioning in early childhood. The research draws from theoretical perspectives in developmental psychology to examine the development of early family relationships, mother-child and father-child interactions, and children’s attachments to caregivers. Students will participate in regular lab meetings and assist with longitudinal studies of family development. Students will have the opportunity to assist with all phases of the research process, including conducting literature reviews, collecting and analyzing data, transcribing interviews, coding videotaped family interactions, and other lab-related tasks.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101 , PSYC 105 , PSYC 108 , PSYC 109 , PSYC 150 , and Instructor's Permission

1.00 Credits
This course involves students in ongoing research addressing issues on the cultural organization of learning in childhood. This includes working with different kinds of data: videotapes of naturally occurring interactions, videos of children participating in games and structured activities, and interview data with parents and family members. Students will have the opportunity to participate in many phases of research depending on the nature and stage of the project (from data collection, to coding, to data entry and analysis).
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101, PSYC 105, PSYC 108, PSYC 109 , PSYC 150 and Instructor's permission.

1.00 Credits
Students in this course will work in Professor Denise Hines' research lab on various projects related to issues in family violence. Ongoing projects focus on male victimization of female-perpetrated partner violence, and research and evaluation of the Clark Anti-Violence Education (CAVE) program, which focuses on the prevention of sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking among Clark University students. Other projects vary year by year, but focus on the general topic of family violence. Students will engage in a variety of tasks, including but not limited to: data coding, background literature searches, and recruitment of participants. A one-year commitment is required, with that commitment beginning in the fall semester. Students can elect to take the second semester as a capstone research requirement.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101, PSYC 105, PSYC 108, PSYC 109, and Instructor's permission.
-
1.00 Credits
Students participate in an ongoing research project in collaboration with the instructor and graduate students. Students participate in designing and conducting studies in schools and day-care centers, analyzing data and presenting findings. Recent topics include the development of early literacy, the interaction of language and knowledge development in early elementary school, and children's understanding of counting, measuring number, matter, and energy.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 120 , PSYC 150 , a First Seminar, and Instructor's permission.
-
1.00 Credits
Ongoing research on the effects of contexts (home, school, etc.) on the emotional and motivational development of children.
Prerequisite:
Instructor's permission.
-
1.00 Credits
This course involves students in ongoing research addressing the relations between members of different ethnic, national, religious, and racial groups. Most of these research projects focus on the role of past conflict and group-based victimization on current intergroup relations. Both destructive phenomena (such as hostility and revenge) and constructive phenomena (solidarity, reconciliation, and prosocial behavior across groups) will be studied. This course is grounded in social psychological literature and theories, and students will be exposed to multiple methods (ranging from content analysis of interviews to surveys and quasi-experimental studies).
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101, PSYC 105, PSYC 108 and Instructor's permission.
