This summer, Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr. Travis Hodges is conducting two different studies involving cognitive bias in lab rats, aided by five student interns and research assistants. Through his research, Dr. Hodges aims to show how a negative bias may develop as a result of stress. The findings of his experiments may help us understand these factors in humans and potentially reveal the mechanisms connecting cognitive biases and depression.
