UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROJECT
Faculty:
Robert Josephs, Ph.D.
Contact:
Pranj Mehta, pmehta@mail.utexas.edu
Description:
Some people have a strong need to attain high status and will behave like jerks just to get it. Who are these people and why do they behave the way they do? Might testosterone levels have an influence on social behavior? Across a series of studies, we are trying to understand how hormones such as testosterone can influence people’s everyday behavior.
Qualifications:
We require responsible, hard-working, mature individuals who can devote at least 8-12 hours/week of their time during the summer.
Duties:
You will independently run experiments with introductory psychology students, schedule participants for these experiments, analyze videos from existing experiments for social behaviors, and enter data
Other Information:
If you would like to go on to graduate school in psychology or a related field, research experience is a must. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to gain hands-on research experience.
