I teach a Personality Lab and Social psych lab. I look for projects
that will enable the students to learn about the methodological approaches
in these areas while demonstrating classic principles. I have no difficulty
finding projects in the Social Psych lab, but am looking for ideas in the
Personality Area that involve more than just descriptive-correlational
reports. Survey and Questionnaire construction issues are covered, the
Barnum issues in assessment, etc., but what kind of mini experiments might
the class carry out? I am about to check my Teaching of Psych files, but
thought I would see if tipsters might have some ideas. Our labs have no
more than 15 students. Thanks, Gary
