Who Will I Meet?

Dr. Rod Bassett, Professor of Psychology

Dr. Rod Bassett recently returned from (CAPS) Christian Association for Psychological Studies International in Los Angeles, CA and presented on 4 different research projects that were conducted with Roberts Psychology students: Becoming a Good Neighbor, Considering Sexuality through the Sexual Lenses Scale, Considering the Impact of Grace Salience in the Dictator Game, and Is All Grace The Same. We are so fortunate to have Dr. Bassett among our Psychology Department faculty, as he is a respected researcher who is well published, including research that he has conducted with undergraduate and graduate psychology students.

Nicole Puglisi, Psychology Major '16

"At Roberts we are blessed with the most incredible psychology professors a group of students could ask for. Not only are they all incredibly brilliant, but they care for their students immensely, show the love of Jesus Christ in all they do, and provide support for their students in whatever ways they can. It is an absolute privilege to learn from them!"
