| Course Title: Laboratory in Personality and Abnormal Psychology: 'Stigma and Resilience' |
| Start Date: 09/07/2022 End Date: 12/20/2022 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2022 |
| Description: Though stigma is understood to underlie and contribute to mental health and illness (e.g., minority stress model), what exactly is 'stigma' and how do we measure it? The course will take a broad view of stigma and mental health, but a large focus will be on health behavior such as substance use and sexual behavior. Course topics include methodological issues such as assessment, construct validity, and mixed methods research, as well as empirical research on models of stigma, resilience, and mental health. Students will complete individual final research projects in which they will learn to formulate their own research question, collect and analyze data, and produce a report of their findings (e.g., poster presentation). |
