Graduate Students

Christina (Miao) Tang, BA

Christina recently defended her Masters thesis on a Quantiative Methods topic in the History, Quantitative Methods area of the General Psychology Graduate Program. She is interested in response patterns on Quality of Life (Mandarin/English forms)  by Mandarin/English bi-linguals; using a participant research framework to patient-reported outcomes measurement research, her specific interest is in response patterns to health-related quality of life for individuals with various thyroid disease. 

Henri Lu, BA, MA

Henri Lu recently completed his  M.A. in the Graduate program in the Clinical-Neuropsychology stream under my research supervision. He is currently enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Clinical-Neuropsychology stream with me as his research supervisor. In his research, he combines his interests in measurement/assessment and clinical-neuropsychology research. His Masters thesis was on the use of Concussion Symptom Assessment Tools with specific attention to the widely used SCAT-3 and SCAT-5; in this work he is able to examine the comparability/differences of scores on these two forms of the SCAT.  In addition, he is interested in language/cultural issues in measurement/assessment. Recently, Henri has been looking at the literature on race-based norms and considering/questionning their use. We look forward to his integration of all of his interests in his research as he works towards developing his dissertation project.

Fereshteh Rashed, M.A.

Fereshteh Rashed is a new doctoral student in the Graduate program in the History, Quantiative Methods area of the General Psychology Graduate Program. She is interested in measurement/assessement issues with application to research on relationship function in the context of chronic illness, such as thyroid disease. Having completed her first two years of the program, Fereshteh has allocated attention to advancing her methodological, technical, and applied skills with extensive coursework in quantitative methods, as well as courses in qualitative research methods and program evaluation. Because of her and my shared cultural background, I have encouraged Fereshteh to explore/incorporate cultural perspectives in her research so that we can clarify/broaden understanding within psychology of diverse lived experiences.
