Overview
The Social Psychology program from Sabanci University has a number of laboratories equipped with cutting-edge technical tools to conduct social psychological research at individual, dyad, and group levels.
Doctoral students will gain a solid knowledge of research methods and advanced statistics, and will be actively involved in diverse research projects as early as their first semester. Students will also be able to benefit from other laboratories in the university and have the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary studies by collaborating with the researchers from other graduate programs.
With a strong research agenda, we help students build and sustain an initial momentum in making scientific publications as well as integrating with the international research community by actively attending international conferences and developing research collaborations.
Educational Oppotunity
Our research in the program particularly focuses on relationships between individuals and groups and represents the rich spectrum of social psychology from social development to group processes.
Our social psychology faculty members conduct research on parent-child relationships and language development in early life, formation, maintenance, and termination of adult social and intimate relationships, family dynamics, attachment, the interplay between memories and social relationships, self-regulation, culture, intergroup contact, prejudice and discrimination, and well-being.
Starting from the first year, students will take active part in the currently running studies. In sum, the main goal of our research and practice-based doctoral education is to fully prepare our graduates as competent and productive academics and researchers, and practitioners in the related arenas at the international level.
