Contact:

bigler@psy.utexas.edu, meaganp@mail.utexas.edu
Description:
This semester, the Bigler lab will be working on several projects relating to stereotype development and children’s understanding of race and gender. These will include collecting data from children in preschool, elementary school, and middle school. We will also be designing an intervention to reduce gender stereotyping in elementary school children. Most of our research is conducted in area schools, day care centers, and afterschool programs, rather than in a laboratory setting.
Qualifications:
We are seeking students who are enthusiastic, hard-working, and interested in this area of research. Students should be interested in working with children, as well as responsible and reliable. Scheduling is flexible, but students should have some weekday hours available for data collection.
Duties:
Students will assist in collecting, coding, and entering data, creating stimuli, and library research. Students will also attend a weekly lab meeting and write a brief paper on their research experience.
