We recently argued in Perspectives on Psychological Sciences that undergraduate researchers provide an opportunity to make important contributions to the field of psychology (Grahe et al. 2012). These projects represent an untapped resource for replicating and investigating psychological phenomena, and this project demonstrates the potential of collaborative undergraduate research. Students at 10 collaborating institutions administered surveys to 14 samples(N = 1353) during the 2004 presidential election measuring political attitudes and behaviors, in addition to other psychological measures (e.g., self-esteem, perceived esteem, mindlessness and criminologic traits). This page describes the project and provide supplemental materials for a Special Issue of the Emerging Adulthood Journal (Forthcoming, 2015)
This data set includes many opportunities for Emerging Adulthood theorists to test propositions and explore novel assertions across diverse geographical and cultural samples. We invite readers to investigate their own questions after considering those we've already asked.
