SAMPL 

The SAMPL research lab is located at the Department of Education, University of Alberta. We are a part of the School and Child Clinical Psychology Program. Our research studies focus on developing a better understanding of evidence-based assessment of risk factors for internalizing psychopathology. In particular, we are working on developing more valid and reliable methods of assessing temperament/personality across the lifespan, with a particular focus on emergence of maladaptive traits and associated impairment. 

The SAMPL lab is also a part of the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) Consortium. As a part of the HiTOP, we contribute to the research literature on improving the organization, description, and measurement of psychopathology. Please see our projects page for more details.
