Kara Styck

Research Interests

I study psychological measurement. In particular, I am interested in developing tools that improve how we measure psychological attributes (i.e., cognitive ability, social skills, and academic engagement and motivation) for students in K-12 and higher-education classrooms. I am also interested how psychological measurement impacts educational decisions for students (e.g., screening, progress monitoring, probable diagnoses, etc.).

Frequently Taught Classes

  • PSYC 324: Developmental Child Psychology
  • PSYC 640: Theory and Assessment of Intellectual Functioning
  • PSYC 648: Consultative Interventions for School and Community Settings
