Research assistant opportunities (volunteer or for-credit) are available for Fall 2011 in two labs that study interrelated topics, including motivational processes that drive extremist attitudes and behavior, heuristics involved in the use of costly means for goal pursuit, and perceptions of suicide attackers as moral agents/patients.
RAs will manage and run participants, attend lab meetings, complete readings relevant to study topics, conduct literature reviews, and potentially assist with study design and analysis using research
software.
Interested students should contact Kristen Klein at kklein@psyc.umd.edu
