Self and Social Behavior Lab
Midwestern Psychological Association, Chicago 2011
- The overall theme of research in our lab addresses how self-evaluation, self-concept, and personality are related to social behavior. Our research addresses a wide variety of issues and psychological constructs.
- If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact Dr. Hermann directly. Any interested Bradley student may get involved in ongoing research. To take the lead in a project or do an independent study, however, you need to have some prior research experience in this lab or somewhere else.
