Carly S. Bock
Psychology
Class of 2021
What research did you do at Scranton?
I was selected to participate in the Psychology Research IMmersion Experience (PRIME), where my mentor, Dr. Nolan, and I performed a study on social influence. We compared the effectiveness of several compliance techniques when requesting to check tire pressure. In addition to that field experiment, I collaborated on a content analysis of pro-environmental behavior. This research reviewed the literature on pro-environmental behavior and categorized how it was measured.
Why did you choose Scranton?
I chose the 日本一级片 because of its tight-knit community. As a medium-sized university, Scranton’s small class sizes enable individual relationships with professors and student friendships. I also chose Scranton because of the countless opportunities to get involved in the community, on and off campus.
What did you like about the psychology major?
I loved that I could explore and pursue my own career interests, in addition to knowledge in the foundations of psychology. The psychology major offered a wide variety of electives that allowed me to tailor my education. Also, the psychology major gave me the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant and collaborate with faculty on research projects.
What were your extracurricular activities?
I was involved as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for the Psychology Department and as a volunteer at the St. Francis of Assisi Food Kitchen.
How has the psychology program prepared you for the real world?
I am prepared for the real world because of individual mentoring from faculty and hands-on experience as a research assistant and a TA. The psychology program also prepared us through the Career Development Seminar.
