Undergraduate Research with N. Yuen

Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research is an important component of academic learning in psychology. This independent learning opportunity is designed to allow advanced students to delve into real-world research with faculty who are currently engaged in specific projects. The program will help students develop vital skills in research design, data acquisition and interpretation, written and oral communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills—all of which are of particular value for students who are pursuing a graduate degree, as well as for graduates who are already in the job market.

Nathalie Yuen's research focuses on emerging adulthood (ages 18-25). Nathalie's background is in developmental psychology (i.e., how people change over time) and quantitative research methods. Students could gain skills in social science research methods, including study design and data analysis. Students participating in this program would engage with ongoing research projects and may have opportunities to develop their own research projects.
