The Department of Psychology at George Mason University Join our Facebook group!

We are committed to training students at all levels, from high school students who intern with us through post-doctoral students seeking to gain additional skills after receiving their doctoral degree. The department serves more undergraduate majors (roughly 1,300) than any other department in the university, as well as a strong cadre of graduate students (roughly 250) who participate in one of ou

r five specialty areas of study: applied developmental psychology, biological psychology, clinical psychology, human factors and applied cognition, industrial-organizational psychology, and school psychology. Students at all levels have the opportunity to work side by side with our faculty in their labs; some of these students go on to do their own independent research through our undergraduate honors program. https://www.facebook.com/groups/201847389884497/

We want to recognize our very own, Allison Jack, who recently received an Autism Center of Excellence (ACE) Network award 🥇 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)!

We want to highlight these two ADP grad students! Megan Stutesman, a Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistant, was awarded a small grant from the American Psychological Association’s Division 10, Society for the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts! She is using this grant to cover the cost of materials needed for her dissertation research. In addition, at the 2022 APA Conference, Stutesman was awarded the student showcase by a panel of expert judges for research that she presented in a flash talk format. Tevis Tucker is a third-year doctoral student in the Applied Developmental Psychology Department. Recently, Tucker published his MA thesis in the top music education research journal. Check it out!
