Research Psychologist Jobs in Missouri

A Research Psychologist in the mental health industry applies scientific methodology to learn about different aspects of human behavior and mental processes. Their work often involves designing and conducting studies, collecting data, analyzing results, and presenting their findings. They may investigate topics such as cognition, emotion, motivation, behavior, personality, interpersonal relationships, and various mental health disorders. Their research can provide insights that help improve diagnostic tools, treatment methods, and mental health prevention strategies.

Important skills for a Research Psychologist include analytical skills, communication skills, observation skills, and patience. They must have a good understanding of statistics and research design, and be able to use various tools and techniques for data collection and analysis. They should also have strong writing skills to publish research papers and reports. Research Psychologists usually need a doctoral degree in psychology, and must be licensed to practice in their state. Prior to becoming a Research Psychologist, a person may work as a Research Assistant, Clinical Psychologist, or Counseling Psychologist. These roles provide practical experience in conducting research and working with patients, which can be valuable for a career in research psychology.
