EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOLOGY COLLABORATORY

About

Welcome to the Existential Psychology Collaboratory at Texas A&M University. Our research aims to understand how people answer the “big” questions in life and how people’s answers to those questions influence their attitudes and behavior.

We formulate and test a wide range of hypotheses related to many types of existential concerns focusing on the antecedents and consequences of the experience of meaning in life, authenticity, self-alienation, perceptions of free-will, and mortality awareness.
Please explore our website for more information about who we are, what we do, and how to get involved in our lab.
