DEBORAH HALL, PH.D.
LAB DIRECTOR
I am an Associate Professor of Social & Behavioral Sciences in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences at Arizona State University. I received my B.A. in psychology from Claremont McKenna College and my Ph.D. in social psychology from Duke University.
I am broadly interested in how social and group identities shape people’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior. In recent years, I have become especially interested in the ways that social identity impacts our interactions online. Across multiple overlapping lines of research, my work is characterized by a high degree of interdisciplinarity, a strong applied focus, and the underlying goal of promoting greater well-being, particularly for members of marginalized social groups.
At ASU, I teach introductory psychology (PSY 101), social psychology (PSY 350), a graduate quantitative methods course that focuses on regression-based techniques (PSY 516), and graduate seminars on intergroup relations, consumer behavior, and the psychology of social media, in addition to supervised research and thesis courses. I am currently overseeing the Research Track of ASU’s Online MS Psych Program and am a member of the Resilience in Social Environments (RISE) Initiative.
I am also the Faculty Director of the ASU Statistics and Methods (SAM) Lab--a lab devoted to assisting students in statistics and research methods courses with assignments, research projects, and statistics consulting. The lab's resources include computing stations with a range of quantitative and qualitative research software (e.g., SPSS, Stata, nVivo, EQS, MPlus, R) and a team of graduate-level consultants who staff the lab and assist students in person, over the phone, and though online tutoring/consulting sessions.
