Cognitive Factors in Depression

This project is ongoing.

We are interested in the cognitive biases that characterize depression and how to alter or improve these biases in adults with depression. Research investigates cognitive factors of depression using behavioral tasks, eye tracking, clinical interviews, and psychophysiology. Most projects are data intensive. That is, most projects involve a lot of data collection for which there is substantial data cleaning, processing, and analysis. A background in data analysis (conducted mostly in R) and/or coding can be very helpful. 

If you would like to be added to our RA database, please complete this form: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8qqSD85DYyATLj8. We will reach out to students in this database when openings become available. 

**Note: We currently have limited volunteer RA opportunities.**

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
