Teachers, Principals and Program Directors: Invite us to do a research study at your school!
Our lab's research has involved thousands of children across the country. We are always looking for new locations to perform studies. We generally do studies in the greater Austin area, but we have done studies in many parts of Texas.
 We try to make our studies enjoyable and educational for everyone. We always try to make testing sessions as short as possible to save class time. Testing occurs in a quiet area on site. Children enjoy the opportunity to share their thoughts with UT students. Generally, after participating in a test session, children get a small prize (such as a toy or a sticker).
Our studies also go through a rigorous ethical screening process at UT. We ensure that all children have parental consent before allowing them to be tested. We are happy to speak with parents if concerns arise. Generally, most parents agree to particpate. At the end of the study, we will send you a copy of the results we discovered. We can even make a presentation at your school.
The research that our lab does is crucial to understanding how children's gender and racial attitudes changes over time. If you're interested in having your school particpate, no matter what part of Texas you're in, please let us know!

Working in a psychology lab is a great way to earn job-related skills, experience what graduate school is like, and see what research is all about. Each semester, we invite a small group of highly motivated undergraduates to work in our lab.
Hourly commitments are flexible, but studies generally take place in the mornings (8-11) and afternoons (3-6).
