The hierarchical linear model provides a conceptual framework and a flexible set of analytic tools to study a variety of educational, social and developmental processes. One set of applications focuses on data in which persons are clustered within social contexts such as couples, families, classrooms, schools, or neighborhoods. A second set of applications concerns individual growth or change over time.

Attribution and other social judgment processes. Implicit causal theories in the interpretation and explanation of own and others' behavior. Motivational and cognitive biases in social cognition. Prerequisite: Psych 660.

The Psychology IE course will focus on the content areas of Psychology as they relate to real-world problems. We will consider areas of Psychology where our majors may be employed after graduation. The course will be organized into a series of six units. Each unit will be introduced and discussed in a lecture and carried over into recitation sections. Course content will represent each of the five areas of the department in various themes throughout the course; some themes will cross disciplinary boundaries contained within the department.
