Huge congratulations to the 28 UGA Psychology undergraduate students presenting their research projects at the annual Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO) Symposium this year! The annual CURO Symposium highlights excellence in undergraduate research at the University of Georgia by offering an opportunity for students to communicate their own research to our broader community. Learn more about this symposium and other UGA CURO opportunities here. 

It’s graduate and professional student appreciation week at UGA! (Check out the activities on the graduate school website). Graduate students - thank you for all of your efforts in teaching, mentoring and research!

The lab focuses on how behaviors and social interactions impact developmental trajectories throughout infancy and into toddlerhood. Studies conducted in the lab use various techniques: from conducting controlled laboratory experiments to free-flowing toy play sessions to collecting daylong multimodal (e.g., vocalizations, body movements, etc.) behavioral data. We are motivated to apply existing techniques from applied computational social science and dynamical systems theory and also develop new computational and analytic methods to understand the dynamics of development during infancy and early childhood.

We hope you will be able to attend and celebrate this milestone in the lives of our Psychology majors!

Each graduate will be provided with 8 guest tickets, unless the Classic Center imposes COVID restrictions or there or more students participating than the department is currently expecting.

GRADUATES: Register at this link for convocation and your number of guests! (Updated 4/20/22)

More detailed information will be provided as the event date approaches. 

Huge shout out to 5th year clinical psychology doctoral student Violeta Rodriguez who was featured as one of the up-and-coming voices in methodology and research practices in psychological science! Violeta recently shared findings from her systematic review of the literature on measurement invariance/equivalence of parenting scales by race and ethnicity and discussed recommendations for inclusive parenting research.

Amazing work, Violeta! 

Affective science is the study of affective processes (e.g., emotion, stress, motivation) in the lives of individuals, groups, organizations, and cultures. Faculty in this area use a variety of methods (e.g., fMRI, EEG/ERPs, peripheral psychophysiology, ecological momentary assessment) to study affective processes in normative and clinical populations, as well as workplaces.
