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 Sciences
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.
