My name is Ben Listyg and I’m a PhD Candidate studying Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology at the University of Georgia advised by Dr. Malissa Clark. My dissertation looks at work-family spillover from a neurodiversity perspective by examining the relationship between executive functioning and work-family spillover. Methodologically, I am interested in item response theory, applied graph theory, mixed effect models, and natural language processing.

Dominique La Barrie is a graduate student in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences Ph.D. program with a concentration in Developmental Psychology. She is currently a member of the FRESH lab at UGA. Dominique completed her Bachelor of Science at Georgia State University with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology in 2017. As an undergraduate, she worked in GSU’s Developmental Lab, focusing on how typically developing toddlers, toddlers with autism, and other developmental delays shared musical sounds with their parents via gesture and speech. After graduating, she was a research coordinator for the FANS lab at Emory University, assisting with a clinical intervention examining the effects of mindful meditation on dissociative symptoms of trauma. She also served as research coordinator of Carter Lab at Georgia State University, examining racial health disparities and the impact of high trauma exposure on families. These experiences led to the development of her broad interest in trauma effects on the family unit. Specifically, her main interests include intergenerational trauma and how it affects family relationships, racial socialization, parent-child dyadic relationships, and child internalizing disorders. Ultimately, she hopes to examine family relationships and how specific factors impact them.
