In this course, we study with Dr. Angela Duckworth and Dr. Claire Robertson-Kraft. Through an exploration their work 'True Grit' and interviews with researchers and practitioners, you develop a research hypothesis and learn how to understand the difference between internal and external validity. You also begin to understand and apply the strengths and weaknesses associated with different types of measurements and evaluation designs. You then interpret the results in an empirical study.
Yale University's Department of Psychology is known for its world-class research and education in cognitive, social, and clinical psychology, aiming to understand and improve mental health and behavior.
The Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill was founded as the Department of Psychology in 1920 by John Frederick Dashiell. The Department offers three degrees for undergraduates – a B.A. in Psychology, a B.S. in Neuroscience, and a B.S. in Psychology, a Cognitive Science minor, a Neuroscience Minor, and the Ph.D. at the graduate-level. Our Graduate Programs include Behavioral and Integrative Neuroscience, Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Quantitative Psychology, and Social Psychology.
In the Department of Psychology we focus on the investigation of behavior and its cognitive, neural and hormonal underpinnings in the full range of environmental situations. Our strengths lie in four broadly defined areas of development, cognition, neuroscience, and social and personality psychology. We develop and conduct theoretical and translational research to advance health and well-being.
