Alex,Honeker,Instructional Assistant Professor,"My research interests lie at the intersection of political psychology, international political economy, and party politics. I explore the determinants of individual attitudes on globalization-related issues as well as the effects of elite and party rhetoric on voters' views, and inter-party competition on these topics, with a special focus on economic globalization. I explore these topics with a regional focus on Europe and the United States, and employing experimental, observational, survey, and text analysis methodology.",Instructional Assistant Professor,Texas A&M University at Qatar,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n311c38df
Nathan,Hawk,Clinical Assistant Professor,"My research generally aligns at the intersection of technology integration, student use of technology, and social-emotional learning. First, I am interested in examining self-beliefs such as attitudes about technology, values beliefs about technology and similar self-perceptions such as self-efficacy more contextualized. In this research, I am curious how self beliefs influence whether and to what extent teachers integrate technology or students use technology. Second, my primary research interest is to explore how various self-efficacy beliefs influence mathematics achievement among the at-risk online charter high school populations. Although the link between at-risk factors and performance has been readily studied, understanding the unique contribution of self-efficacy and self-regulated learning among these students is still underdeveloped.
This research bridges across the K-12 student and teacher landscape, using primarily quantitative research methodologies.",Clinical Assistant Professor,"Teaching, Learning and Culture",https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n4a9c6534
Joshua,Hicks,Professor,"My research aims to understand how people answer the ""big"" questions in life and how people's answers to those questions influence their attitudes and behavior. Our lab formulates and tests a wide range of hypotheses related to many types of existential concerns focusing on the antecedents and consequences of the experience of meaning in life, authenticity, self-alienation, perceptions of free-will, and mortality awareness.",Professor||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/na0f1fa85
