Description: We are interested in how natural language in everyday conversation conveys psychological information about a person. Using new behavior/language sampling technology for field research, we are going to reconstruct a person’s ‘linguistic fingerprint’ from his or her daily interactions and relate it to a variety of self-reported personality characteristics, situational variables and physiological markers (e.g., blood pressure, cortisol, testosterone).
Qualifications: Motivated, dependable & organized students with an interested in the social psychology of natural language. We prefer students who can commit to the lab for the summer and fall semester.
