Psychology Student Participants

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 and sign up. Our studies are conducted on the second and third floors of the Kenny Building at UBC (2136 West Mall), or on-line. 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 emoselflab@psych.ubc.ca with the name of the study.

Undergraduate Research Assistants

The Emotion and Self Lab is currently not accepting volunteer research assistants for the summer 2024 term. To learn more about current research projects, check out our Projects page. Research assistants and Directed Studies students participate in every aspect of our research, from recruiting 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. Directed Studies students typically manage or run a project, taking a leadership role. Volunteering as a research assistant or completing a Directed Studies program 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 Radha Bazaz with an attached CV and transcript (emoselflab@psych.ubc.ca).

Graduate Students

Jess is hoping to take on a new graduate student for Fall 2025, so if you are interested in working with Jess as a doctoral student in the UBC Psychology PhD program, please get in touch. We are especially seeking students interested in working on the lab’s new projects on meaning and science. Email Jess with details about why you’re interested in her research and the lab, as well as your own research experience and background. Please also be aware that the UBC Social-Personality Area requires GRE scores as part of your application. We don’t have any specific threshold scores we look for, but we believe that these scores are one useful piece of a much larger package that help us get as complete (and unbiased) a picture of students as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!
