Welcome to the MSPS Research Fair 

Welcome to the MSPS Research Fair!  The projects include completed works and works in progress. As attendees, your feedback, comments, discussion, and questions will help MSPS students hone their ideas, improve their communication skills, and anticipate questions from reviewers and conference attendees. 

We encourage visitors to learn about research outside of their program area. Challenge us to describe our research to you, whoever you are!  We want to avoid the "curse of knowledge"-- a cognitive bias that occurs when an individual, communicating with other individuals, unknowingly assumes that the others have the background to understand. The curse of knowledge impedes science communication, a skill that we highly value! This year, we have created a science communication zine to share our work with people who may be new to psychological science. You can view the zine on the zine tab.

We hope you will learn something new, share your expertise, pick up a zine and enjoy a cookie!
