Overall Research Project Description:
Psychological pre-death (PPD) is comprised of the experience of feeling dead despite being physically alive, a loss of subjective contingency, and psychological pain on account of the former two points. As PPD is a new construct, we are in the process of creating and validating a scale with which to measure PPD. Part of the validation process is testing whether and how our PPD measure predicts acute risk factors for death by suicide (e.g., social withdrawal, significant weight loss, severe affective states) and correlates of suicide risk (e.g., suicide capability, fearlessness about death, self-dehumanization), which is what we aim to do for this project. 

Research Tasks:
Tasks will vary depending on the research assistant's interests. Examples of tasks are literature reviews, assisting with data analysis and visualization (e.g., making graphs and tables), conducting suicide risk assessments on participants, and creating research surveys. 

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Recommended: Academic writing, statistics knowledge, SPSS, R, Excel, Qualtrics, APA style conventions 

Mentoring Philosophy:
My mentoring philosophy is centered around what I believe to be the ideal mentor-mentee relationship: mutually beneficial. You are choosing to do UROP for a reason; perhaps you are interested in pursuing graduate education or a career in research. Similarly, I am choosing to seek a UROP mentee for a reason; for assistance with my research. The tasks you will be asked to do will vary; your interests, goals, and growth are very important to me and will inform the work you will be asked to complete. Though I will absolutely be available to provide necessary training and to answer questions that may arise, you are an intelligent and competent individual and I believe it is important that you reach a point where you can complete assigned tasks without my guidance. My goal is to help prepare you for your future endeavors and provide you with skills, experiences, and training that will make you a more competitive applicant for any future graduate programs and/or jobs, and also more successful in whatever route you take.
