Design and Statistical Analysis Laboratory

The Department has established a Design and Statistical Analysis Laboratory ('Dazzle') to provide guidance to departmental faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate honors students in both the design and analysis of their anticipated or ongoing research projects. Consultation is solution-focused. Consultation will be provided by advanced graduate students through enrollment in PSYC888 Research Methods in Psychology, under the direction of Kevin O'Grady.

Consultants hold regularly-scheduled office hours in BP 1145D. They are also available by appointment to meet outside of office hours. Appointments can be scheduled on a one-on-one basis; or, consultants can attend research team meetings to discuss beginning or continuing research projects and/or design, methodological, or statistical issues.

Contact the Lab by email or by phone at 301-405-3701.

Further information regarding consultants, office hours, contact information, and the like can be found at the Lab blog site.

Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Clinical Psychological Science program

Beginning in the Fall of 2013 the Department will offer a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Clinical Psychological Science program. This program provides rigorous training in the scientific approach to clinical psychology, emphasizing evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention. Students will be exposed to contemporary theories of clinical disorders and empirically supported interventions for the treatment of these disorders. The program is designed for working professionals and will prepare students for a range of careers in mental health and related areas (including research and education) and can serve as academic preparation for those interested in pursuing further doctoral training in clinical or counseling psychology.

Psychology Graduate Students Are Being Published!

Our students are publishing and we want to share their publications with you! So next time you are going to a meeting in the big conference room or just walking down the hall, stop and check out the bulletin board located next to the entrance to 1142. The Graduate Office will be posting student publications there. Of course, there isn't room to
show the entire publication, but the cover page will be there and we will highlight a link to the article so that you can read it in its entirety later. New publications we will be posted every few weeks.
