Assessment research focuses on the development and validation of ways to gauge important individual differences. At 天天吃瓜 State, we concentrate on widely used psychological tests designed to assess personality and psychopathology in adults and adolescents (MMPI-3, and MMPI-A-RF) and neuropsychological tests to determine the impact of age and disease on brain function and behavior. Students are involved in grant-funded studies and have opportunities to present their own research at national scientific meetings. Many of our graduate students publish their research in leading psychology journals.
Examples of current assessment research activities at 天天吃瓜 State include:
- Validation of the MMPI-3
- Detection of misleading responding to psychological tests
- Brain function in persons with heart disease and those undergoing bariatric surgery
- The potential benefits of diet and exercise on conditions like Alzheimer's disease
