Dr. Shelly Gable's Motivation and Close Relationships
Lab |
Project: |
A number of projects centered on motivation and relationship
research will be going on in the lab. We conduct observational studies
with couples, questionnaire studies, diary studies, as well a number
of experimental studies. |
Description: |
Our research looks at topics such as approach and avoidance
motivation (the desire to go after positive outcomes vs. the desire
to avoid negative outcomes), relationship and personal goals, personal
goal support, relationship motives, capitalization, positive emotions,
etc. |
Duties: |
Responsibilities include running participants, coding data, entering
data, brainstorming ideas for follow-up studies, preparing study materials,
etc. |
Additional Requirements: |
We are looking for bright, responsible and reliable research assistants
(no prior experience is necessary). We would like all research assistants
to commit to work in the lab for at least two quarters. However, for
those who want to work in the lab over the summer, the two-quarter
minimum does not apply. |

Additional Information: |
Most of our research is conducted during daytime hours
on weekdays (between the hours of 9 and 6 M-F) so at least some availability
during these times is required. If you are interested in working in
the lab or have any further questions, please contact Thery at prok@psych.ucsb.edu.
It is best to email us one to two weeks before the quarter starts.
We most likely won't be accepting new research assistants after the
second week of the quarter. |
