11. Students as Researchers Important project goals for our students: 1.Develop students’ research, writing, & analytical skills 2.Showcase opportunities in applied psychology (academically & professionally)

12. Students as Researchers: Search Skills Question: What skills have you developed from being part of this team that you deem as valuable? “How to search databases properly... That's super useful, and I know I'm going to be using that a lot. I think it just makes a lot of sense to learn that … And I mean we’ve never really been taught like that.” “[W]hen I was interviewed, Angie asked me how I usually do … research. And I remember saying, "Well Google. I like Google Scholar. I’ve tried PsycINFO, and Google Scholar is the way to go for me," …. I get really frustrated with Google Scholar now …. In terms of the relevance, you're getting way more relevant articles in this format of searching. So I prefer that”.

13. Students as Researchers: Critical Thinking & Analytical Skills “I think one thing I found glaring at the end of summer, there's a lot of junk out there…. Like garbage articles. It just makes you realize you've got to be careful what you use. Like even, like, I've only read a limited amount on my topic but it's like, "Oh some of these articles aren’t very good," and there's only 80-some I gotta read”.

14. Students as Researchers: Writing Skills Question: What was the most valuable thing you learned as a result of working on this project? “[T]he summarizing- getting it all into one page. Because that's kind of where I struggle, is being concise. So this has definitely forced me to learn that”.

15. Students as Researchers: Lifelong Skills Question: How do you feel these skills will help you in the future? “It would make us- well make me, a better researcher. Not even that, just better, I don't know, almost academically because I'll be more efficient with my time. I'll be able to pick out the most important information … I just feel like it's going to be really useful to me”.

16. Students in Applied Social Psychology “[W]hen I said learning about psychology in general, I was referring to learning a lot about organizational psychology …. really getting to delve more into, not only the content like that organizational psychology content, but also the way that it's applied, and being able to see it applied in studies …. So that was very valuable for me I would say”.

17. Concluding Thoughts Reflections on students as researchers “It's nice to know that it's my first time where it's actually going to mean something, the research I'm doing is actually going to contribute to something. So it was nice knowing that. It’s like I'm not just doing this for nothing.”
