I am a social psychologist by training and I have taught the research core (statistics, research methods, and experimental psychology) at UVU for seven years now. I have a special research interest in design and the arts. I have, for example, conducted psychological research projects in dance, architecture, landscape architecture, photography, and poetry. I have also spent many years studying the psychological aspects of conflict and dispute resolution, particularly mediation and restortative justice. I have collaborated with students on several conference presentations and would be thrilled to work with more.
I also have methodological interests in quasi-experimental methods, robust statistics, measures of effect size, empirical probability approaches such as the bootstrap, and statistical graphics. I welcome any opportunity to assist or collaborate on student or faculty research. Please don't hesitate to contact me!
Finally, I have participated for several years in faculty study groups and research projects on learner-centered teaching. I would be glad to talk with anyone interested about this approach, as well.
