Introduction
I have been at CSULA since 1965 (I can hardly believe it myself!). In the years preceding this I was a research associate at the Laboratory of Aviation Psychology, worked on my Ph.D. at Ohio State University, and had a one year appointment at the University of Montana in Missoula. Although I expect to retire in 1997, I hope to continue to teach one quarter each year until 2001 under the faculty early retirement program.
Teaching Interests
In my first years at this university I taught courses in human factors and man-machine systems, experimental psychology, sensation and perception, and statistics. At a later period I also taught courses in research design and human development. In the most recent years I have concentrated exclusively on teaching the basic statistics courses and my current specialty, multiple regression/correlation analysis. I have written a number of computer programs for analyzing data and demonstrating concepts which are available in the Psychology computer lab. I have a considerable degree of expertise on the SPSS and SYSTAT statistical packages and include some instruction on these programs in my courses.
Research Interests
I have directed masters theses and consulted on doctoral dissertations in many areas of psychology. I am interested in any type of research to which multiple regression/correlation analysis and analysis of variance can be applied, but I tend to be most interested in probjects involving observational data in social, developmental, environmental, and human factors psychology.
