Who do experimental psychologists work with?

Question

Accepted Answer

Experimental psychologists work with researchers, participants, computer scientists, academic institutions, and grant providers. Experimental psychologists use scientific methods to collect data and perform research and can be found in a variety of industries and settings.

People that experimental psychologists work with include:

Researchers. Experimental psychologists work with other researchers, including fellow research psychologists, graduate research assistants, and lab technicians to help design, execute, and analyze projects.
Participants. An experimental psychologist is nothing without his or her participants who provide the data through their participation in the research studies. Participants are recruited through universities, community centers, schools, and through advertisements.
Computer scientist. Thanks to advances in technology, the tools available to experimental psychologists allow for new testing avenues. With the help of computer scientists, experimental psychologists are able to leverage technology, algorithms, and programming to enhance the design/execution of experiments.
Academic institutions. Many experimental psychologists work as faculty at universities to conduct research, teach classes, and apply for research grants. Academic institutions provide resources, research funding opportunities, and intellectual exchange, fostering a collaborative research environment.
Grant providers. Most experimental psychologists rely on research grants to fund their research, which means a large portion of their time is spent working on application packets to send to government and private funding organizations.
