Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
Factors Influencing Attraction I: Proximity01:22

Factors Influencing Attraction I: Proximity

Proximity plays a fundamental role in shaping interpersonal attraction by increasing opportunities for interaction and fostering familiarity. Research consistently demonstrates that individuals are more likely to form social bonds with those who are physically closer to them, whether in residential settings, workplaces, or educational institutions. This effect is largely driven by the increased frequency of encounters, which facilitates the development of friendships and romantic...
Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...
Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Higher Education
  • Sociology of Science
  • STEM Education

Background:

  • Faculty are crucial for identifying and training future scientific talent.
  • Advancing and diversifying the scientific workforce is a key national priority.
  • Understanding institutional contexts is vital for equitable student experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how institutional contexts shape student-faculty interactions.
  • To identify differences in aspiring scientists' experiences across various higher education institutions.
  • To determine how students access resources through faculty engagement.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was employed.
  • Qualitative data from a five-campus case study.
  • Quantitative longitudinal data from over 117 higher education institutions.

Main Results:

  • Significant structural differences exist between institutions in shaping student-faculty interactions.
  • Students at more selective institutions reported less frequent and less personal faculty interactions.
  • Black students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) reported more frequent and supportive faculty interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Institutional context is a critical factor influencing the quality and frequency of student-faculty interactions.
  • Findings highlight disparities in student experiences based on institutional selectivity and type.
  • Interventions may be needed to ensure equitable access to faculty mentorship and resources for all aspiring scientists.
