The component of the study that I work on looks at how the students' day to day experiences in the classroom might affect the development of their ethnic identity. If you're interested in observing the classrooms of these students or interviewing their teachers, please contact me.
Hours are extremely flexible.
RAs will have the opportunity to become familiar with our experimental procedures, to help run subjects, to analyze data, and even have the opportunity to help design new experimental studies. I am especially looking at how parents feel about their own ethnicity and how they send messages to their children that later affect children's development. In addition I am interested in looking at how parents play a role in children's intrinsic motivation and achievement motivation. RAs will have the opportunity to interview parents, examine and code data, and investigate hypotheses about these multifaceted issues. Students will help with many aspects of the project.
