Faculty
Although their interests are diverse, faculty of the Psychology Department share common
approaches to research. They aim to describe the psychological processes and biological
mechanisms that underlie behavior. They use rigorous and innovative methodology.
They work on issues that are theoretically important and that have potential applications.
This approach has led to honors such as appointments to the National Academy of
Science and formal awards from major psychological and scientific societies.
Members of the Department hold numerous positions as fellows of professional societies
and play a role in their governance, and they provide extensive service to scientific journals
and to agencies and foundations that sponsor research.
Teaching in the department demonstrates that renowned researchers make outstanding
instructors. The members have authored some of the outstanding textbooks in the field,
and their research is prominently featured in others. Students are taught about Psychology
not only through conventional courses but through hands-on involvement in research
projects under faculty supervision.
