Looking for Ph.D. programs in experimental psychology

[Psipi140]

Hi there!

I am wondering if anyone happens to know a few experimental psychology Ph.D. programs off hand?


Best,

Andrew

This is far too broad of a question. Some departments have Experimental Psychology programs because they are too small to have specific divisions (e.g., social, cognitive, developmental, etc.). But pretty much all of these use experimental methods (so do other branches, like clinical, community, etc.). Rather than looking for an experimental program outright, it might be useful to figure out what kind of psychology you are most interested in studying.

Ah, thought experimental psychology was a common doctoral are of study in its own right. Interestingly, emotion regulation is a strong interest I hold.

You'll find emotion regulation researchers in Social programs, Experimental programs with socially inclined faculty, and in Clinical programs. Not exclusively, of course, I've just seen the most people who study emotion regulation in those areas.

I'd look up individual faculty with emotion regulation interests. The big thing will be finding a PI who does emotion regulation and has their students publishing regularly.

Also clinical people who do some psychophys/imaging research in this area.

Experimental psychology is far too broad. Are you interested in animal models and if so, what species and what area of study? Mathematical psychology? Learning theory?

 

[Psipi140]

Psydr, none of the above.

Emotion regulation is my primary interest. Below are the posters I put together during undergrad. that reflect some of my current interests...

To the other responses, in all honesty, I applied to 30 + programs in clinical/counseling psychology with P.I.'s who hold similar interests and was rejected the last two years so I am looking for smaller programs with higher acceptance rates. Not so interested in the clinical route now.

I have found a few "Experimental Psychology" Ph.D. programs with P.I.s that hold somewhat similar interests and have applied to those programs. If you guys have any programs in mind that are relatively small and have a P.I. or two that study emotion regulation or something similar, please do share that info.

Best,

Andrew
