Identity Development Laboratory

Having experience with measures used in counseling, education, and business settings is a great opportunity if you are interested in going on to graduate school. As a research assistant in the IDL, you will help us with data collections, developing research materials, and other related activities. You also receive mentoring and assistance with graduate school applications.  Students who have worked in our lab have gone on to a variety of graduate programs in psychology and education.

If you are an undergraduate student who is interested in joining our lab (for Psych 491 credit or for the experience), or would like to learn more about our research, please contact us at idl@iastate.edu.
