Assessment and Individual Differences LAB

The Assessment and Individual Differences Lab (AID-Lab) is integral part of the Department of Psychology at the University of Bucharest.

We study the assessment of various psychological constructs relevant for a range of applied psychology fields, broadly defined.

Our primary mission is to generate and apply psychological science to expand our understanding regarding design and application of psychological assessment in studying the functioning of various individual differences.

The lab is managed by the Lab Director and Executive Committee (three elected members) and it includes a team of established and early career researchers (full members) and affiliate members (undergraduate and masteral students).

The AID Lab will focus on:
– collaboration: building research-oriented alliances and partnerships with various national and international labs and organizations;
– funding: attract national and international research funding by assembling competitive of research teams;
– fostering research: supporting the design and dissemination of assessment-oriented empirical and theoretical investigations aimed at expanding the current scientific understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective and behavioral phenomena in the applied settings.
