Pitt Lab for Developmental and Motivational Research
Research Assistant
August 20145 - Present
The Lab for Motivational and Developmental Research is an exploratory lab studying techniques to help middle and high school students stay engaged in school, especially their math and science courses.
We distribute surveys covering a wide range of motivational topics to over 3,000 local students in a variety of school settings. This data is expected to be analyzed in dozens of research papers, covering topics from math anxiety to bullying to race and gender gaps.
I help design and test these surveys in Qualtrics, and after they have been administered I download, clean, and standardize the results in Excel. I also contribute to the lab by writing and editing codebooks and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
