RAs are wanted to help carry out social psychological research in the motivated cognition and mind perception and morality labs.
Fall semester research topics will include: (1) affective transfer in motivational systems and self-regulatory success, (2) motivated cognition (e.g., the need for cognitive closure, the need for cognition) and the preferences in information seeking, and (3) determinants and consequences of perceptions of moral agency/patiency. RAs will run studies, participate in weekly lab meetings, read agreed upon journal articles that will deepen their understanding of the research being conducted, and assist with data entry and analysis.
A minimum commitment of 6 hours per week (2 credits) is strongly preferred. If interested, please contact Anna Sheveland at asheveland@psyc.umd.edu
