University of North Texas-Amy Murrell

My lab is quickly growing. Our work group now includes me, a post-bac. student, an undergraduate, and 8 graduate students. We have 2 MTS RFT tasks up and running. One examines sexual fantasies in college women. We have an IRAP on that subject pending IRB approval as well, so we should be going on that soon. The other ongoing piece is a replication/extension of my parenting study (dissertation). It includes two experiments examining class acquisition and flexibility, tranformation of function, etc. We have several other projects in the research phase, just being designed- two on ACT treatment of children and parents, one on improving the measurement of acceptance and willingness in child populations, and one on the relationship bewteen worry and relational framing. We are committed to having these projects running next academic year, and I will be submitting at least one application for federal funding. I will keep the group posted on that. I just started a website. It still needs some work, but my mission statements for my practicum and research teams are posted. You can check it out at http://people.unt.edu/arm0154.
