BABLab Undergraduate Research Assistants:

Fall 2025
The Belief, Affect and Behavior Lab (BABLab) is seeking curious, detail-oriented research assistants to start in the lab during Fall semester 2025. Lab RAs will assist with various projects investigating the relationships between people’s religious/spiritual beliefs, emotions and behavior. Our goal is to introduce students to the various steps and aspects involved in psychological research, including (a) where research ideas “come from”, (b) how definitions and constructs are developed, (c) how data is collected and analyzed, and (d) how findings are interpreted. The lab is currently undergoing a series of studies investigating how virtual and in-person worship services impact psychological wellbeing, as well as how religiosity is associated with empathy and compassion .

Students who are interested in gaining hands-on experience in psychology research are encouraged to apply by filling out the application and submitting it to the lab manager, Jenna McClear [jenna.mcclear@duke.edu]!
