Bradley Waite, Ph.D. Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology My research activities at CCSU have been focused primarily in four areas. The first three areas are content driven; the fourth is process driven. First, I have investigated the relationships between media use and various psychological dimensions. Secondly, I have examined aggression and aggressive individuals. Thirdly, I have examined the experience of research participation from the perspective of student participants. And, I have explored and described the uses of Experience Sampling Method (ESM) and similar in situ research strategies. Review below my summary of selected publications and presentations: |
