At Ohio State, the Department of Psychology is organized into eight areas, working to investigate critical aspects of the brain and human behavior.

  • Factors influencing plasticity of brain and behavior through the development and into adulthood
  • Hippocampal biology and function.
  • Stress and the brain
  • Neurogenesis and brain plasticity across the life span

  • Endocrine and immune regulation of brain and behavior
  • The neurobiology of cognitive control                           
Clinical Psychology
  • The treatment of mood and personality disorders using cognitive behavioral therapies
  • Biobehavioral responses to cancer diagnosis and treatment
  • Testing and dissemination of psychological treatments for cancer patients

  • How numeracy (numeric ability) affects real-world decisions
  • How the brain represents subjective values and beliefs
  • The role of attitudes in numeric judgment and choice
  • How to improve self-control
  • How information is interpreted and integrated in decision making
  • Modeling decision making in aging and cognitive decline
Developmental Psychology

  • Genetic and environmental influences on brain and behavior
  • Development of memory, categorization, and reasoning
  • Development of numerical cognition and mathematical thinking
  • How children learn a language and use it to understand their world
  • How children grow beyond the superficial in their social and moral understanding How children grow beyond the superficial in their social and moral understanding

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

  • How to improve health and well-being in children and adults with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and other neurodevelopmental disorders
  • How to best support family members of people with disabilities
  • How to impact the outcome and course of intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and related neurodevelopmental disorders
  • How to develop psychological instruments that measure core and associated features of intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and other neurodevelopmental disorders
  • How to treat behavior and emotional problems in children and adults who have intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and related neurodevelopmental disorders

Quantitative Psychology

  • Developing, evaluating and applying new quantitative methods for the analysis of psychological data
  • The application of statistical models to real-world problems
  • Bayesian models of human cognition

Social Psychology

  • Automatic and deliberative attitudes: Influences on information processing, judgment, and behavior
  • Increasing women’s participation in STEM disciplines
  • How motivations in social interactions shape relationships, beliefs, well-being, and health
  • What motivates social behavior
  • Effects of the immune system and common anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. Tylenol) on emotions, decisions, and social behavior
