心理学

Colleges and Programs of Study

The Wesleyan program offers many options, including the study of behavior analysis, 学习, social adjustment, addiction and recovery, abnormal behavior, human relations, behavior modification, and personality theory and assessment.

学生 who study experimental or behavior modification use an animal testing laboratory and obtain experience in applying statistics and computers to psychology. You may have opportunities to collaborate with faculty on special research projects, with results being published in national psychological journals. Practicum and internship experiences are essential components of preparation for employment and advanced study in related fields. Many students prefer to do internships with children and often work with the child development center on campus

    背景: Dr. Medlin studied at The University of Southern Mississippi, completing a Ph.D. 在大脑 & Behavior 心理学. Her research interests include the evolutionary basis of social perceptions, primarily as it relates to attitudes regarding perceived personality characteristics, socially acceptable behaviors (e.g., sexual assault), and scientific information dissemination. My research primarily considers how these attitudes and beliefs are shaped through personality and other socially relevant individual difference factors (e.g., political affiliation, social awareness). I have investigated these perceptions as they relate to social attitudes towards specific behaviors/ideology (e.g., rape myth acceptance, scientific attitudes, humor appreciation) and acceptability of personality characteristics (e.g., narcissism). She is Director of the Social & Evolutionary 心理学 Laboratory.
