| Experimental psychology is a branch of psychology that employs scientific methodologies to study, analyze and better understand human thought and behavior. While many psychology graduate and undergraduate level psychology progams offer courses in experimental psychology, most educators and practitioners treat experimental psychology as a methodology rather than a singular branch within psychology. Many of the techniques and scientific methods used in experimental psychology are also employed within other branches of psychology to conduct research. Experimental psychologists, and psychologists with training in this area, can be found working in a variety of settings including, colleges and universities, government agencies, non-profit organizations, research centers and private companies. Most experimental psychologists are responsible for conducting research on cognitive processes, neuroscience, personality, animal behavior and other subject areas, but others can be found teaching experimental methods to other psychology students. Those professionals working in colleges and universities often teach psychology courses, perform research and publish their findings in professional journals. Experimental psychologists working for businesses apply their expertise to discovering ways to create safer workplaces and make employees more productive (a specialty know as human factors psychology). Below you'll find schools, colleges, and universities offering accredited graduate and undergraduate degree programs, tracks and courses in experimental psychology. | |
