Caroline Carmody

I am a first-year student in the M.A. Experimental Psychology program at Sam Houston State University. I graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. My undergraduate research largely focused on externalizing behaviors and risk taking behaviors in children and adolescents. My current research interests broadly include personality assessment, forensic psychology, competency and forensic evaluations, jury decision making, and personality pathology among forensic populations. I presented a poster at the Southeastern Psychological Association (SEPA) in 2023, and hope to present again at many conferences in the future. I am also currently contributing to multiple projects in my current lab involving data collection, running analytics, and writing papers. After graduation, I hope to pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in a program that offers forensic training opportunities.
