Research Opportunity

You are invited to consider joining an interesting research project analyzing mother-child conversations about their disagreements (for example, about getting their homework done, cleaning their rooms, fighting with siblings). The children are 5thgraders, so 10 or 11 years old.This semester, the professors involved in the research (Drs. Carlo, Ispa, and Horstman) are looking for students who are detail-oriented and enjoy thinking about parent-child interaction. The work will involve watching videotapes of mother-child conversations and transcribing (typing word-for-word) what they say. The families who participated in the research are African American, European American, and Latino, and we plan to match transcribers with families of the same ethnicity. All work will be done in Gentry Hall. About twice a month, we will schedule a meeting to give everyone an opportunity to discuss their observations and practice some coding.This rich learning opportunity is available as a volunteer research experience (which looks great for a resume!), for academic credit, or for pay through the Work Study program and additional options. Please email Dr. Haley Horstman athorstmanh@missouri.eduif you are interested!

Did you know you can...?

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)Average Annual Salary: $161,076 (Payscale, October 2018)

Despite popular belief, not all CEOs run billion-dollar corporations, which is why you may be surprised to see that the average salary for a CEO is $161,076. A CEO is in charge of making the majority of the business decisions for a company. On any given day, a CEO may be tasked with anything from communicating with the Board of Directors to working with other executives. In case anyone is doubting their ability, it may help to know that you're in good company. Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, earned a degree in Communication, and Disney's current CEO, Robert Iger, earned a degree in Television and Radio. So, if you have a knack for leadership and a passion to lead a business into the future, a CEO position could be just what you've been looking for.
