Research Design II

Catalog description

This seminar, an extension of Psychology 600, involves a detailed examination of methods used in experimental psychology that have implications for conducting research related to psychodynamic theory and treatment. Drawing upon specific studies in social, cognitive, and clinical psychology, participants will examine a variety of approaches that rely on explicit and/or implicit methods. In doing so, participants will examine different topics, including: self/self-descriptions, object relations, unconscious processes, attachment, and personality. Emphasis is placed on learning practical skills both to assess existing studies, and to develop future studies (including a doctoral dissertation research proposal). Prerequisites: Psychology 600 and 606 Must be a student in the Doctoral Psychology program
