Overall Research Project Description | The project aims to explore people's views on their first impressions of others. Past research has shown that first impressions are difficult to change. Do lay people think so? Do such views impact people's attempts to change their impressions when they learn new information about others? We recently developed a scale to measure various characteristics of people's first impressions. The current project aims to improve and validate that scale and examine its power to predict people's actual first impressions. |
Research Tasks | The tasks will involve literature review, survey construction (producing questions), programming studies (using online and in-person data collection tools), data collection, content analysis of open-ended responses, preliminary data analysis, and writing research reports. |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | Research assistants will work as a team, so collaboration skills are required for this position. Previous experience with scientific literature review, using survey construction tools such as Qualtrics, and APA style writing are recommended. |
Mentoring Philosophy | In the Motivated Social Cognition Lab, students will work in a team, collaborating with other students and myself. My goal is to nurture students' passion for scientific research through a flexible approach. Students will have the opportunity to get training on basic scientific tools in our regular meetings. I aim to help them become independent researchers after building their knowledge of basic psychological research. |
