If you are a UBC student and would like to participate in a study currently being conducted in the Emotion and Self Lab, please go to the Subject Pool website (http://hsp.psych.ubc.ca) and sign up. Our studies are conducted on the second floor of the Kenny Building at UBC (2136 West Mall). We greatly appreciate your participation! If you want to know more about the purpose or findings of a study you participated in, send an email to jltracy(at)psych.ubc.ca with the name of the study.
Undergraduate Research Assistants
The Emotion and Self Lab is currently seeking undergraduate psychology majors who want to learn more about social-personality research to volunteer as research assistants. Ongoing research projects include studies examining emotion recognition processes and cognitive appraisal processes in emotion elicitation. Research assistants are involved in every aspect of the labs research projects, from soliciting participants to running experiments, to organizing and collecting data, to coming up with ideas for studies and even helping to analyze data and write up results. Volunteering as a research assistant is the best way to get research experience and learn about the research process, as well as about graduate programs in social/personality psychology. If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about ongoing projects that need the help of research assistants, email our lab manager Jeff Markusoff (jeff.emoselflab(at)gmail.com).
Students involved in the Directed Studies or Honours Program are welcome to apply to join the lab. Please send an email to jltracy(at)psych.ubc.ca if you are interested in doing directed studies or honours research with Dr. Tracy.
Graduate Students
We are currently accepting graduate students via the masters and doctoral programs in psychology at UBC; please get in touch if you are interested in joining the lab.
Alcoholism & Emotions Study Participants
We are studying the emotional causes of addiction and recovery, and are seeking members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) groups who are willing to participate in our research. Participants who qualify will be paid $40 in exchange for completing a 90-minute questionnaire and interview, which will be conducted in our lab in the Kenny Building at UBC.
If you are interested in participating or learning more about the study, please contact the Project Manager Jeff Markusoff by phone 604-822-3995 or email (alcoholandemotions(at)gmail.com). All information collected will be completely anonymous. We are particularly interested in including newly joined AA members (i.e., 4 months sober or less) and long-term members (i.e., 5 years sober or more). If you meet either of these criteria, please get in touch!
