ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PSYCHOLOGY AND/OR EDUCATION?
HAVE YOU WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT THE RESEARCH PROCESS FIRST HAND?
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WORKING DIRECTLY WITH GRADUATE STUDENTS?
LOOK NO FURTHER!!!
We are offering a unique opportunity to be involved in multiple stages of the research process, including a critical role in data collection! You will have the opportunity to collect data from middle and high school students in an Educational Psychology research experiment!
This summer we are conducting a research study that is investigating how adolescents use multiple means to achieve their goals. Research indicates that goal pursuit is a critical skill, but success is not guaranteed. People develop backup plans to deal with the unpredictability of goal pursuit, but backup planning may impact goal pursuit. We are conducting one of the first studies to examine this process in adolescence.
Experience with previous research studies and CITI training preferred, but not required!
Students majoring in Education, Psychology, and HDFS are particularly encouraged to apply, but all majors are welcome to inquire.
This is an ongoing research study. Data collection is taking place this July. Data entry, analysis and dissemination will take place in August and in the Fall. YOU can choose how involved you would like to be!
Course credit will be offered this summer and fall 2019.
Time commitment is completely flexible! We are happy to work with you to agree on the best possible schedule. Ideally, during data collection would be about 10 hrs, for 2 weeks. After that it would range from 2-5 hours per week.
Please email the Project Coordinator, Bethany F. Hoff, at bflemng2@illinois.edu, or visit our lab website at http://www.cmnapolitano.com/ if you are interested in this opportunity!
