Ganie DeHart

Sibling Peer Research Group

Research Interests

• Sibling and friend relationships from early childhood through early adulthood (longitudinal study).
• Sibling relationships among various cultural groups (currently Latinx, Caribbean-American, Chinese-American, and African immigrants, but I'm open to other possibilities).

Student Involvement

• Research assistants may perform the following tasks:
  • Contacting participants for follow-up studies
  • Interviewing participants and transcribing interviews
  • Coding transcripts and videotapes
  • Entering, tabulating, and analyzing data on the computer
  • Writing up results for presentation at GREAT Day and national/international conferences 

Recruitment Opportunities

• Dr. DeHart is currently accepting 4-6 students for Spring 2025 and Fall 2025. 

Preferred Skills and Qualifications

• First-year, sophomore, or junior standing. 
• Students with a strong academic record, experience working with children and/or adolescents, and experience working as part of a group or team are encouraged to apply.
• Completion of PSYC 215 or 216 preferred.

Additional Comments

• Dr. DeHart does not usually admit seniors to her research group due to the semester-long training required to collect and code data.
