Establishment of an Observational Filming/Coding Laboratory in the University of Saint Thomas Psychology Department

这个项目旨在建立一个观察拍摄/编码实验室，作为本科教学和研究的组成部分。学生在这一领域接受培训，并在课堂和实验室的情况下积极参与研究。他们也可以选择将独立的研究调查纳入他们的本科学习。具体课程包括实验心理学、儿童心理学、人类成长与发展。该项目还允许参加心理学荣誉论文和独立研究课程的学生进行原始的行为观察研究，并更有效地分析他们的发现。预计该项目还将在课程中加入现实生活中的研究方法，并与学生已经可以使用的计算机实验室相结合，将为学生提供心理学研究方法的独特而复杂的背景。

9451886 Vandiver This project is designed to establish an observational filming/coding laboratory as a component of undergraduate instruction and research. Students are trained in this area and become involved actively with research in both classroom and laboratory situations. They also have the option of incorporating independent research investigations into their undergraduate studies. Specific courses include Experimental Psychology, Child Psychology, and Human Growth and Development. The project also allows students enrolled in Psychology Honors Thesis and Independent Research courses to conduct original behavioral observation research and analyze their findings more effectively. It is expected that the project will also add a real-life research methodology into the curriculum and, combined with a computer laboratory already accessible to students, will give students a unique and sophisticated background in research methods in psychology.
