We have successfully held our poster exhibition, where our Psychology Department students presented the research projects they prepared as part of their Independent Study course.

During the exhibition, our students had the opportunity to share their research on a wide range of topics and present their findings to the visitors.

We congratulate all our students and their academic advisors who contributed to this valuable event, and we extend our gratitude to everyone involved in the organization.

İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi is now a home to FAMILY-Lab, a research laboratory dedicated to studies in family and developmental psychology.

FAMILY-Lab aims to conduct research focusing on parenting, interparental relationships, and adolescent and young adult development, examining how family processes influence adolescents’ and young adults’ psychological, social, and academic adjustment. The laboratory provides a research environment that brings together the subfields of developmental and family psychology and emphasizes theory-driven and empirical research.

Within the scope of the laboratory, potential collaborations with faculty members, joint research projects, and student involvement are considered highly valuable. Actively involving undergraduate and graduate students in research processes and strengthening interdisciplinary interaction are among the core objectives of FAMILY-Lab.
