ROSE Lab - Research on Stigma and Equity Lab
The Research on Stigma and Equity (ROSE Lab) approaches research as a means of promoting equity and inclusion. The lab's research focuses broadly on mental and physical health outcomes of underrepresented and historically marginalized communities, as well as protective factors. The ROSE lab research should be applied, accessible, and collaborative through the active linking of faculty, student, and community member perspectives. The lab prioritizes affording opportunities for meaningful student engagement at all levels of research and evaluation, which include research design, data collection, data analysis, and development of presentations and/or papers. Members of the ROSE Lab have the opportunity to get mentorship from Dr. Fredrick, as well as from other students in the lab. The group meets regularly as a lab to discuss ongoing projects and research in the field.
Ongoing projects include:
- Health Experiences and Needs of Nonbinary Adults (HENNA)
- College Campus Experiences for Queer and Trans Students
Students are welcome to reach out with their own research ideas. Some recent student projects have included:
- Creating an implicit association task examining mental health stigma related to intelligence
- Development of a training on transgender and nonbinary health for pre-health students
- Development of a training on diversity, equity, and inclusion for helping professionals
- Surveying about stigma towards psychotropic medication
- Surveying about gender differences in the relationship between childhood abuse and adult anxiety
- Surveying about disordered eating in college students
Meet the ROSE Lab Director
Dr. E. G. Fredrick received their PhD in Experimental Psychology from East Tennessee State University in 2017. Prior to coming to Marist, they were a Visiting Assistant Professor at St. Lawrence University for two years. Their research and teaching interests lie at the intersections of social and health psychology. In particular, their research focuses on the ways in which various forms of stigma impact the mental and physical health of minorities, particularly sexual and gender minorities.
