PSYC 220 - Research in Family Violence

Type of Course: Laboratory, Discussion

Students in this course will work in Pr. Denise Hines’ research lab on the various research projects related to issues in family violence. Ongoing projects are “Mental Health Status of Male Helpseekers for Partner Violence Victimization” and “Domestic Violence Services for Underserved Populations.” Students will work on data coding and literature searches for these projects. Students will also be involved in various projects that are being developed. For example, if funded, students will become involved in the ground stages of a proposed NIJ-funded project, “Stalking and e-Stalking: A National Population-Based Study of Prevalence, Victim/Perpetrator Perspectives, and Criminal Justice Involvement.” Finally, students will be involved in the development of a grant proposal to the DOJ to bring a dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking prevention/intervention program to campus. Specifically, students will aid in data collection by coding data on an Internet survey of how frequently these types of problems occur on campus, by leading focus groups on how students perceive the problem on campus and the university services offered for such issues, and by doing background literature searches for the development of the proposal.
