Infant Emotion during Social Interactions
We are looking for dedicated research assistants to enroll in 3 credits of PSYC 479 (i.e., 9 hours/week; although those who can register for only 2 credits can still be considered) to work on a developmental research project. We will be analyzing infant emotions during their social-emotional interactions from video-recorded laboratory observations. By working on this project, students will learn about infant social-emotional and cognitive development in the context of relationships and observational methodology for obtaining information about infants. Priority for the positions will be given to students who can work during Winter and Spring term. Based on performance, students may be invited to continue as a research assistant for summer and fall positions on related research projects.

Student RAs working on this project will learn about research design and implementation and about coding behavior from recorded interactions. Priority will be given to students with flexible schedules, including availability on evenings and weekends. Based on performance, students may be invited to continue as a research assistant for summer and fall positions on related research projects.
