Specialization: Methodology, Social Psychology, Health & Well-Being
Overview: : I am a methodologist and social psychologist. In my methodological research, I develop new tools for categorical data analysis, data visualization, latent variable modeling, and experimental design. In my social psychological work, I draw on theories of identity, status, and stereotyping to (a) understand how social categories impact how we view ourselves and how others view and treat us, and (b) the social factors that influence health and well-being. I am firmly committed to open science and reproducibility and thus freely share the data and code for all of my projects at www.trentonmize.com.
I primarily teach graduate methodology and statistics courses. I regularly offer courses on categorical data analysis, experimental design, data visualization, latent variable modeling, and social psychology. You can access all my teaching materials, including syllabi, lecture slides, and example code, at www.trentonmize.com
I am also a founder and co-director of The Methodology Center at Purdue https://www.purdue.edu/research/mcap/) and a founder and co-director of the Kernan Experimental Social Science Lab (http://tinyurl.com/jmklab).
