Welcome!

We are a group of interdisciplinary faculty, staff, and students who are interested in better understanding the factors that influence academic success.

In the CALM lab, we use cross-sectional and experimental research methods to investigate:

• the association between academic anxieties and academic performance
• the influence of emotional intelligence on how students respond to sources of academic stress
• how attitudes contribute to adaptive and maladaptive academic behaviors
• the factors that influence individual willingness to alter prior beliefs following exposure to annulus information
• the contribution of social media use to negative mental health outcomes
