Researchers on the Rise: A Quantitative Workshop Series

Though research represents an important strategy for contributing to the extant body of knowledge, many counseling students and professionals lack the confidence to engage in quantitative analyses. This limitation has implications for epistemically excluded groups who may lack the required skills and training needed to tell their communities’ stories through an empirical lens.

Researchers on the Rise Mission

The voices of individuals who hold marginalized identities (I.e. BIPOC and queer folx) are often absent from the extant body of research. Contributing to research is one way that our voices are heard and implicit bias is not embedded into the emerging literature about our communities. Oppression has a history. Our stories (including those expressed through research) have been historically told through the voices of white majority identities. When people with oppressed identities conduct research within our own communities, we are challenging the historical silencing of our voices about who we are and what we value. We deserve to tell our own stories rather than to have someone else tell the stories for us.

For many reasons, our communities may lack the resources needed to learn how to design, conduct, interpret, and report empirical analyses. Our mission underscores the value of leveraging research knowledge to uplift epistemically excluded voices by offering trainings that are both helpful and accessible. Equity pay scale is available.

Culturally Responsive Research: From Idea to Publication

  • Date: Saturday, June 11 2022 from 2pm – 3:30pm EST
  • Format: 90-minute virtual webinar
  • Cost: $125
  • CE’s are not currently offered for this program.
Session Description: Culturally responsive research (CRR) recognizes and uses the cultural framework of researchers, participants, and research topics, as central to the research process. This engaging workshop prepares doctoral level counseling students, counselor educators, and counseling professionals to conceptualize, develop, conduct, and publish CRR.

Learning Objectives:

  • Objective 1: Attendees will obtain a deeper understanding of the importance of culturally responsive research (CRR).
  • Objective 2: Attendees will learn important considerations for planning, facilitating, and reflecting on culturally responsive research.
  • Objective 3: Attendees will learn helpful strategies that bolster publication success and minimize potential pitfalls.

Exploring Relationships: Understanding Process Modeling

  • Date: Saturday, July 16 2022 from 2pm – 3:30pm EST
  • Format: 90-minute virtual webinar
  • Cost: $125
  • CE’s are not currently offered for this program.
Session Description: Process modeling is used to explore process relationships between variables. This engaging workshop prepares doctoral level counseling students, counselor educators, and counseling professionals to conceptualize, conduct, and interpret mediation, moderation, and conditional (moderated mediation) models.

Note: This is an introductory workshop and focuses primarily on experimental or cross-sectional research designs with continuous outcomes. The workshop does not cover other complex models with dichotomous outcomes, latent variables, longitudinal data, and nested data.

Learning Objectives:

  • Objective 1: Attendees will learn the statistical assumptions and basic concepts of process analysis.
    Objective 2: Attendees will learn how to understand and estimate direct, indirect, and total effects in single mediator models and multiple mediator models.
  • Objective 3: Attendees will learn how to define and test models with moderated and conditional effects using the PROCESS macro for SPSS.
  • Objective 4: Attendees will understand conditional process analysis (I.e., moderated mediation) and test conditional indirect effects.
