Hello. First of all, I apologize for posting in this forum even though it explicitly states "For discussion of psychology doctoral degree issues.". My reason for doing so is because I expect that you all will be able to give me a more realistic and detailed answer from your well informed perspective(s) than others will. If this thread must be removed or deleted then that's fine.
Anyways, I will be starting my undergraduate degree next year and I wanted to know if it's realistically possible for me to volunteer in a research lab during? I expect to be doing extremely simple tasks, but I would still like to get my feet wet. I just have no idea how to get my foot in the door and was hoping that some of you would be able to lend me some advice. I don't know if I should email graduate students or professors, apply to job postings, etc.
From the research I've done, and reading up on Mitch Prinstein's guide on getting into graduate school for psychology, research matters a whole lot, so I was hoping that I can start as early as possible. Beyond that, it seems really, really cool and interesting.
Thanks in advance.
