Quantitative methods.
Human understanding.

The PsycheMatrica Lab develops and evaluates psychometric and statistical methods for studying the human psyche—its nature, structure, dynamics, and development. Our name combines the Greek psychē (mind or soul) with matrica, a coined form inspired by the Latin matrix (source or underlying structure). The name also evokes the mathematical matrix, reflecting our use of data and mathematical models to represent and analyze psychological and learning phenomena. Together, these meanings express our mission to develop models that enable rigorous measurement and empirical investigation of how people think, feel, believe, learn, and act. We make these methods accessible to researchers and pursue collaborative empirical research with substantive-area experts.
