Research

This is a training meeting for the research project that I am getting involved with this summer. Emi Sumida is on my right. She is a psychology grad. student who is doing a study looking for a correlation between emotion regulation and depression. On my left is Sara Stevens, she is doing a study that looks at emotion regulation and eating disorders. Because they are both interested in emotion regulation they are working together and I get to be one of their research assistants. This summer we have been doing training meetings. When fall semester starts we will be looking for participants by having psychology students fill out questionnaires. We will then select the students who fit the criteria we need and interview them over the phone. I am so excited to be involved in this project, it's a great opportunity for me to spend my senior year learing more about psychological resaerch. Dr. Stein is overseeing this research and I can tell that everyone on the team is very committed and enthusiastic. I think it will not only be a great learning experience but also a lot of fun.
