This course involves students participating in ongoing research examining the etiology and treatment of addictive behaviors. This includes research projects investigating risk factors for relapse to substance use and treatment development for substance-using populations. Students will become familiar with basic theories, research methods, and research findings in addictions; actively participate in research team meetings; and develop competence in key research tasks.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101, PSYC 105, PSYC 108, PSYC 109, PSYC 173, and instructor's permission.

This course involves students in ongoing research addressing issues surrounding the etiology and prevention of depressive symptoms in youth, with a specific emphasis on the family context (e.g., parenting styles, family demographics). The research draws from both the clinical and developmental sub-disciplines of psychology and, thus, addresses aspects of normative child and adolescent development as well as the development of psychopathology. Both qualitative and quantitative methods will be employed, and data will range from transcripts of qualitative interviews to coded responses from standardized interviews and questionnaire data.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101, PSYC 105, PSYC 108, PSYC 109, and Instructor's permission

This course provides a hands-on experience with conducting community/clinical psychology research through the Mental Health, Culture, and Community Research Program. Students will be actively involved in a variety of research projects that examine a range of topics, including cultural influences on the help-seeking process, emotion regulation and coping strategies, the development and expression of depressive symptoms, and the psychotherapy process. Current research projects take place in the local community, including local health organizations and schools. In order to maximize the experience on this project, students participate in a weekly class in which the theoretical underpinnings of the project are discussed. Students are also required to write a final paper and present a poster at Academic Spree Day. In some years, this course may count towards the Latin American and Latino Studies concentration.

Examines the processes of evolution of Homo sapiens in their biological, social, psychological, and cultural aspects. Readings include selected works of Alfred Wallace, Charles Darwin, James Mark Baldwin, C. Lloyd Morgan, and Eva Jablonka. Empirical work on how contemporary research on lower and higher primates—their cognitive, semiotic, and social development in their natural habitats and in captivity—could provide data on the emergence of the human psyche.

The primary objective of this seminar is to explore how intimate family relationships change and develop over time, and the role of gender in understanding close relationships. We will examine how popular culture and everyday family life reflect and perpetuate patterns of gender inequality. Gender relations and family life are so intertwined it is impossible to understand one without paying attention to the other. We will explore concepts such as gender, family, masculinity, and femininity, to name just a few. In addition, we will examine the ways that larger social, economic and political structures shape the meanings we give to family, gender and close relationships. Seminar participants are expected to engage fully with the readings and actively participate in class discussion.
Prerequisite:
PSYC 101
