social/personality psychology

The Social/Personality Psychology faculty offer courses and research training, which lead to a Master of Arts degree. Faculty members have expertise in organizational behavior, social justice, group processes, attitudes, stereotyping and prejudice, social cognition, as well as statistics and research design. Our primary goal is to prepare students for doctoral studies. Ample laboratory space is available to faculty and students for both group and individual-subject research. Excellent computer facilities and a large research library are also available.
