Social processes and health psychology lab

We study how features of the social environment affect health-related behaviors and outcomes. This includes a range of social processes, including mimicry and peer social networks. We also examine a range of health behaviors, including alcohol consumption and unhealthy eating behaviors.

Research assistants will help with a variety of tasks, such as: literature reviews, study design and interpretation, survey construction, data collection, and data entry and analysis. 

Research assistants must be conscientious and detail oriented. We are especially interested in recruiting students who are at least rising sophomores and have basic knowledge of research methodology and statistics. A few positions for students who are seniors may be available.
