Stefanie Northover

Graduate Student
M.S. Psychology I
 
In 2011 I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.  My eventual goal is to conduct evolutionary psychology research and teach at a university.  As an undergraduate I did many things to improve my research skills:  I tutored statistics, assisted with lab research, wrote a research proposal, and took science courses outside of my major, such as chemistry and biology.

Currently I am working on a meta-analysis of the heritability of liability to major depression.  My research interests include surveillance cues and Dr. Andrews’ theory of depression as an adaptation.
