Many students, both graduate and undergraduate, have worked in the Infant Temperament Lab. Students generally come to the lab to learn about how research is designed and implemented. Many of our students have conducted studies of their own using an existing data set, usually for their Honors theses. Our undergraduates come from many major areas of study. Many are from Human Development and Family Studies, but we also have students from Psychology, Biology, Communications Disorders and even Engineering.
All students get valuable experience working on our research project.
It is especially helpful to those students planning to go on to graduate school. Students from the Pre-Med program who are interested in Pediatrics get experience observing and working with infants. Interested and motivated students who want to learn about infants and the research process will find working in the Infant Temperament Lab an enjoyable learning experience. In addition to academic opportunities, the infant temperament lab is also an excellent place to meet other students and staff, making friends and having fun. Undergraduate students who want to be involved in our research can earn 3 credits of independent study.
