PSY 357 Self-Esteem and Mood
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROJECT
Faculty:
William B. Swann, Jr., Ph.D.
Contact:
Sarah Angulo s.angulo@mail.utexas.edu
Description:
Previous research shows that people tend to chose interaction partners who view them the same way they view themselves. For example, people high in self-esteem like to spend time with others who see them positively. People low in self-esteem prefer to spend time with others who see them negatively. The current project seeks to add the variable of mood. We put people in a happy or sad mood, and see if people's self-views and their moods affect the interaction partners they choose.
Qualifications:
The lab schedule is somewhat flexible, but we do need someone who can work 6-10 hours during the weekday mornings and afternoons.
Duties:
Students will be completely responsible for running the study. They will interact with participants and run the procedure from start to finish.
