Would it be good idea to get involved in research in the field of psychology? Or is it better to be in a hard science lab to do research?

Thank you

I think do what you would enjoy doing! Don't worry too much as to what the adcoms would find interesting as long as you can enjoy your experience and learn something from it you will be fine! 🙂

Adcoms want to see that you expanded your critical thinking skills and learned the scientific method. Whether it's in a wet lab or not doesn't really matter.

As long as you're learning something about the scientific method, it doesn't matter whether it's on oncogenes, psychology or clams in Tahiti.

DrMidlife on research: “you've preferably had some exposure to research so you can be convinced that Wakefield used malicious dirtbag methods and is not the savior of the world's children.”

Crayola227 on research: “So tired about the whining over the foundation of knowledge that is expected in a physician.

We're applied scientists ffs. Own that. If you can't own it and take pride in it, gtfo.”

Do research you find rewarding, whatever arena that is in. It's most important, I think, to be able to speak strongly about your experience
