Project Description
What fuels college success—and how can we spark it? In this hands-on research project, you'll explore the psychological forces that enhance student learning and academic performance. Using experimental methods, you’ll help design and test brief, evidence-based interventions aimed at helping IU students thrive. These strategies may include self-persuasion, social connectedness, gratitude, and more. You'll gain practical experience by developing online surveys, implementing interventions, and analyzing real-world data—all while discovering what truly helps students learn better and achieve more.
