Essential Statistics

Janie Wilson began her adventure in teaching during graduate school and continued in a full-time teaching position at Columbia College before receiving her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 1994. Since that time, she has been teaching and conducting research at Georgia Southern University. Her teaching includes courses in statistics, research methods, large sections of introductory psychology, and physiological psychology. Teaching and research merged when she was awarded a National Science Foundation grant as principal investigator for a physiological teaching laboratory, and a recent grant from the National Institute of Mental Health continues to fund her research program. She works with both undergraduates and graduate students on research projects involving social buffering of stress responses in rats and human adults and children. Dr. Wilson also conducts research on student evaluations of instructor immediacy and their ability to predict students' attitudes, motivation, and grades. She was honored with the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Award for Excellence in 1997, the Award of Distinction in Teaching in 2003, and the Georgia Southern University Award for Excellence in Contributions to Instruction in 2004.
