The PhD in Applied Social Psychology program trains students to apply social psychological theories and methods to understand and address major health problems and health disparities.Following the scientist-practitioner model, the program provides a solid foundation in social psychological topics such as attitudes, social cognition, social influence and decision-making, and also promotes mastery of research methods (i.e., experimental and correlational approaches, and quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research). Students may round out their academic experience with electives from other areas of study including, but not limited to, public health, public policy, economics, and minority and community psychology.In addition, because faculty specialize in a broad range of analysis in their own research, students in the program also learn multiple perspectives on human behavior. With the program's applied focus on health promotion and disease prevention, students have collaborated with faculty on research related to HIV/AIDS, obesity, sexual risk, substance use, sun exposure and the doctor-patient relationship.
