Students in the Psychology major capstone course "Advanced Methods" conducted their own research throughout the spring 2017 semester. Students in this course come up with their own research question, read published research to come to testable hypotheses, design their study and collect data, analyze the data, and write a final paper and create a poster to present to the public. Below are their final posters they presented at our Psychology Poster Symposium on May 4, 2017. Dr. Benson and Dr. Marshall are very proud of all of their hard work!
