Abstract

Limited understanding of undergraduate research assistantships hinders student engagement in psychology labs. We developed interactive modules that a) highlight benefits of research assistantships and, b) incorporate real-world scenarios covering research design, data collection, analysis, and ethics. These modules aim to increase engagement, especially for underrepresented students, to promote academic success
