My research interest focuses on creativity and cognition, hence, the term "Project C" to describe the enclave of students I have working with me as well as the publication of the journal (Journal for Interdisiplinary Studies, JIS)--methodologies include case study approach (historical and "live") and normative studies whereby groups of subjects are examined (historical and live)---I also conduct laboratory (pencil-and-paper) studies.

Dr. Amy Eshleman

My research interests span the fields of social and personality psychology, with specific attraction to problems in the areas of prejudice, stigma, social influence, and the social construction of gender. I enjoy collaborating with students at each stage of the research process: formulating a hypothesis, developing the methodology to test the hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting results. Students are welcome to join me in working on my research program on the psychology of prejudice. I also am open to assisting students in the development of new lines of research. Student research projects may result in conference presentations and/or authorship on publications.

Dr. Miles Groth

Dr. Groth's interests are in child and adolescent development, male psychology, history of psychology (historical figure or movement), counseling and psychotherapy, psychological disorders, existential psychology, and phenomenological psychology.

My research interests are in human and animal eating behavior in all aspects: learning, perceptual (especially taste), physiological, cognitive, social and including aspects of eating disorders (eg. dietary restraint). Other physiological and/or drug studies would also be of interest. Students may generate their own projects (independent study) or work on ongoing projects (internship) and may present their work at conferences and earn authorship on publications. Past student projects are described on my website.

Dr. Mark Wagner

My empirical publications have focused on space perception, the moon illusion, cognitive maps, environmental psychology (e.g., the effects of urban stressors on people), and sampling conscious experience under natural conditions. However, my interests are broad, and I am always willing to work with student interests in other areas. For example, past student research has lead to conference presentations on the relationship between personality and religious beliefs, fear of failure motivation and academic success, emotional intelligence and job success, gender bias and the SAT, caffeine and judgment precision, and what makes advertising memorable.
