Undergraduate and graduate students are important team members in my research activities. In addition to running their own research projects (usually related to a thesis or dissertation), students in the lab are working with each other and on my research projects. They are helping with administration procedures, participant recruitment, data collection, scoring and data cleaning, and data entry. Although most of my students hope to eventually have a clinical position, all are actively engaged in the research process.
