The Department offers numerous computers with contemporary software for constructing databases, analyzing data, preparing presentations, and writing manuscripts. We also offer site licenses for Qualtrics, which permits highly specialized experiments and surveys online.

Professor Emeritus David Kenny’s website features SEM, dyadic data analysis, the social relations model, and other data analysis tools.

For more information about meta-analysis software or proprietary geotemporal surveys within the U.S. evaluating levels of stress, anxiety, depression, numerous health habits, and many other social dimensions, please contact Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor Blair Johnson.

The documents below are available free to graduate students for research use. Please read the papers from which they come, and use the appropriate citation provided as your source, even if you are going to adapt these for your own uses.

Job Description Stimuli

These are job descriptions that we used both in hiring experiments (participants match job applicants from their resumes with job descriptions) and in self-selection experiments in which participants chose between matched jobs in the same profession to test how much they prefer hierarchy-enhancing or hierarchy-attenuating jobs. The ones shown here are from:

Pratto, F., & Espinoza, P. (2001). Gender, ethnicity, and power. Journal of Social Issues, 57, 763-780.

They are modified for region of the country from the ones used in:
