Predictors of Career Interests Research Study

Principal Investigator: Dr. Stephanie Carlson

About the study: In a 5-year longitudinal study, we are seeking to align measures of personal attributes (e.g., personality, economic decision-making, and executive function) in elementary and middle school students in order to optimally predict their career interests and achievement. Funded by NSF, Dr. Carlson is Co-PI with James Heckman (University of Chicago), Patrick Kyllonen (Educational Testing Service), and Thomas Dohmen (University of Bonn).

This study is no longer recruiting participants.
