Carolyn Anderson
Professor
Measurements in the social and behavioral sciences are often discrete (e.g., highest degree earned, response option selected on a survey or test, career choice). My research lies at the intersection of statistical models for multivariate discrete data and psychometrics.

Thomas Anderson
Professor Emeritus
My past research has focused on how children learn to read and study expository text, especially science text. I am currently investigating the techniques, especially peer mediation, that students and teacher can use to resolve interpersonal and intragroup conflict in the school setting. My goal is to develop and implement and evaluate the effects of a "peaceable" school, e.g., one that is eager to get beyond the restrictions of a discipline system which emphasizes punishment and various other sanctions.more information...
