Personality and Social Norms Research Lab
Jan Habarth, PhD, Principal Investigator
This research lab focuses on the research areas of Aging, Neuropsychology and Depression (AND). In particular, the research will involve integrating different areas of research to provide a more “holistic” study of cognitive and affective disorders. In addition, I am very open to talking with students with other research topics in these general areas. Thus, the research studies conducted in the lab changes depending on the interests of the students.
The Early Intervention Clinic at Palo Alto University (www.eiclinic.org) is a research clinic dedicated to developing and evaluating different methods of treatment for trauma survivors.
EMH Overview
The Ethnic Minority Mental Health (EMH) Research Lab is focused around understanding and improving mental health services for ethnic minority individuals with suicidal behaviors and mood disorders. Ethnic minority individuals are often underserved and have low rates of service utilization.
The Children and Adolescent Psychotherapy (CAPT) Research Lab began at Palo Alto University in California. Founded and led by Dr. Eduardo Bunge in 2013, the CAPT Lab emphasizes an evidence based approach to childhood and adolescent disorders and the integration of new technologies.
The group seeks to enhance clinical practice by developing and evaluating evidence-based psychological interventions using Internet sites, eHealth, mHealth, apps and other technological applications.

Current evidence-based practices of suicidology lack integration with knowledge regarding cultural variations in suicide, increasing risk for misdetection or mismanagement of risk in diverse populations. The goals of the Multicultural Suicide Research Center are to advance the field of multicultural suicidology through projects investigating suicide assessment, prevention, and management.
