BACHELOR’S COMMITTEE CHAIR
SUPERVISED HONORS THESES
Served as the Thesis Director and Committee chair on numerous Honor’s projects at Florida State University. Worked intensively with students to develop an independent research study that was conducted using participants from the campus and community. Provided students with one-on-one training and mentorship through the rigorous process of creating experimental designs, generating stimuli, submitting an IRB proposal, procuring participant recruitment, data coding and entry, conducting statistical analyses using Stats software (Statistica, SPSS) and assisting writing the formal paper for the thesis defense. The Honor’s project is semesters in the making and a painstaking process, but the outcome is very rewarding for both the student and the
instructor. Often the crowning achievement in an undergraduate student’s academic career, the Honor’s Thesis project provides the student with an intensive, but transformative process of growth in their ability to engage in independent scholarship. It also provides evidence of research potential to prospective graduate programs. Students who have completed Honor’s projects with me are listed below.

• Cynthia Collyer, graduate (2017). Visual Cues of Parenthood on Perceptions of Warmth and Competence
• Brooke Carroll, graduate (2014). Identifying the Effects of Personality Type on Stress.

SUPERVISED INDEPENDENT STUDY PROJECTS

• Mentored numerous students on independent study projects (DIS). Worked closely with students to develop a formal line of inquiry to be examined in the extant literature. Students must obtain articles in refereed journals, critically evaluate the work that is currently being published, and to write a formal APA research paper on the topic. Below are several independent study projects completed by students under my supervision.

PROGRAM OF RESEARCH

• Interested in examining the factors involved in perceptions of attractiveness. In particular, I’m interested in the influence of visual cues on perceptions of attractiveness. In the lab, we’ve examined the effects of hair length, hair health, and pregnancy on attractiveness ratings. Our hypotheses suggest that certain facial and bodily cues may signal attractiveness based on the social evolutionary perspective.
• Interested in factors that influence stereotypes. To this end, I’ve conducted several projects to examine the influence of stereotypes on perceptions of job competence. One of these projects involved a between-subjects design in which participants read a brief resume of a candidate for a managerial position and then viewed a woman either wearing a headscarf or not. Following this participates rated the candidate on several personality traits or qualities. We found evidence of covert religious discrimination for the target who wore the hijab compared to the same female target shown without the hijab.
• Interested in the Stereotype Content Model (SCM)’s view of categorizing people based on two dimensions: warmth and competence. Am currently conducting a project in which participants are showed either a woman alone, the same woman with a baby, a man alone, a man holding the baby and then are required to fill out Likert-type items assessing the targets measures of warmth (good natured, warm, sincere, etc.) and measures of competence (capable, hard working, etc.).
