Organization Behavior Through Statistical Analysis  

Class of 2010.

My BDIC concentration in Organizational Behavior and Statistical Analysis focused on human relations on the organizational level and how to study such human relations quantitatively. The courses delved into how people think and relate to each other, and how to study and analyze such phenomenons. More specifically, many of the courses examined workplace psychology and the tools that can be used to help organizations run more efficiently and help workers live more productive and healthier lives.
    On the mathematical side of my concentration, I learned how to analyze large amounts of data using statistical tools and computer packages. Having this background knowledge of statistics is extremely helpful when conducting research on human relations, a task that I hope to continue in my future graduate studies. My concentration consisted of two research assistantships which focused on the effect of emotion on the use of stereotypes in an interview context; this research related directly to my interest of organizational behavior and allowed me to utilize my knowledge of statistics to analyze the data that I collected.
