About Our Lab
The Stress and Coping Research Lab is housed within the Psychology Department at California State University, Long Beach under the supervision of Dr. James Amirkhan. This lab broadly focuses on stress overload--the form of stress which has been associated with pathogenic outcomes--coping, and the implications of these two constructs on health in various demographic populations, with the intent of validating the Stress Overload Scale (SOS) and the Stress Overload-Short (SOSS). Previously studied groups include recent Korean immigrants, college freshman, community residents, and most recently, undocumented college students. Selected publications can be found on the "Research" page.
Approximately 12-15 undergraduate and graduate research assistants volunteer for the Stress and Research Coping Research Lab each semester to gain hands-on experience with each step of the research process including involvement in research design, data management, statistical analysis, and presentation of results.
