Social Program Facilities

The Department of Psychology has excellent research facilities housed in three adjacent buildings, Psychology Main, Psychology North, and the Shwada Classroom and Office Building. The social psychology program has access to suites of interconnected rooms for research use, and members have access to multi–purpose research rooms. Videotape and audio equipment are also available.
 

Graduate students in the Department of Psychology have access to a variety of technological resources. LCD projectors, audiovisual equipment, high–speed wireless internet access and state–of–the–art printing, faxing and copying equipment are readily available for student use. Psychology Main houses our Statistics Computing Laboratory, containing over 25 computers loaded with a variety of computational software. In addition, the university provides access to 24–hour computing labs, mainframe computing, large format poster printing and audiovisual production facilities.
 

Thousands of research participants are available each semester. The vast majority of students in the introductory psychology class participate in research. A survey instrument assessing a wide range of psychological/personality variables is administered to the introductory students at the first of each semester, so researchers are able to obtain background information on subjects prior to their participation in research. In addition, the Phoenix metropolitan area provides access to richly diverse applied settings.
 

Finally, the department maintains a graduate reading collection in a large, comfortably furnished reference room. The collection includes core works in social psychology and maintains subscriptions to the core social psychology journals. Access to full text psychology journals is online available without charge through ASU University Libraries.
