The doctoral program in Social Psychology at New York University offers training in the scientific study of social psychology and social behavior. To this end, it offers training in the psychological theories, principles, and research methods relevant to understanding human behavior among individuals, groups, and organizations .
![yorku psychology phd social psychology faculty and students](https://as.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu-as/psychology/images/socialprogram/SocialFacultyAndStudents.jpg)
Program Vision
Social behavior is best understood from a multi-level perspective. The focal level of analysis often concerns the individual and the situation, with an emphasis on the cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes that drive behavior in social contexts. Our multi-level approach may examined how these processes are shaped by political, societal, and organizational factors, at a higher level, and supported by neural and physiological systems, at a lower level.
Our multi-level perspective is reflected in our methodologies. Students receive training in advanced quantitative methods and in a broad range of approaches such as behavioral experimentation, psychophysiology and cognitive neuroscience, big data (e.g., from social media), experience sampling, online data collection, dyadic measurement, computational modeling, and field studies, to name a few. Members of the program have access to fMRI, EEG/ERP, eye-tracking, and peripheral psychophysiology facilities housed within the Psychology Department.
Finally, we are committed to connecting our research to the real world. Although our questions often focus on basic processes that drive social cognition and motivation, our broader goals are to understand real-life human behaviors and pressing societal issues and to contribute solid scientific knowledge to policy makers and human service providers.
Program Culture and Activities
The NYU social program has a history of a special communal, cooperative spirit, with very high morale among the students and faculty. Moreover, the program culture is constantly evolving, influenced by interactions among current students, postdocs, and faculty, by changes in the broader scientific field, and by events in the world. We hold weekly program meetings (our “brownbag” meeting) that emphasize new findings and lively discussions, and we feature multiple talk series featuring prominent outside speakers (e.g., Social Colloquium, Social Neuroscience Series, Distinguished Lecture Series). Members of the program also enjoy interactions with colleagues in Cognition & Perception, Development, Neuroscience, Applied Psychology, Linguistics, Politics, Philosophy, and the Stern School of Business. Our location in an exciting and central neighborhood in New York City makes it easy for students and faculty to come in early and/or stay late to meet with each other and distinguished visitors.
Graduate study in the Social Psychology program at NYU means being part of an unusually active research culture. We share well-equipped laboratories, and we promote 'open door' relationships between professors and students. Although students typically have a primary home in one professor's laboratory, we require that students work in at least one other laboratory to promote breadth of training in a variety of methodological approaches and research issues. Our goal is to prepare students to be highly competitive in the job market for the type of career they seek, and we are proud of the steady success of our students in obtaining academic positions at top research universities and teaching colleges.
All students accepted into our graduate program are fully funded through the Henry M. MacCracken Program or the NYUAD Global PhD Fellowship.
MacCracken funding is provided through a combination of teaching assistantship, research assistantship, and fellowship, in proportions to be determined. The award package typically includes a full tuition scholarship, comprehensive health insurance and a stipend. Funding is typically guaranteed for five years, although students with substantial graduate credits or a Master's degree may only be guaranteed four years of support.
NYUAD Global PhD Fellowships include full tuition scholarship, health insurance, travel benefits, and a stipend. Funding is for five years, which typically includes two years or less of course work in New York and the remaining at least three years or more of dissertation research in Abu Dhabi. Campus housing in Abu Dhabi is provided free of cost and is available to all Global Fellows.
There is a very limited supply of subsidized housing available for graduate students which is generally used for a subset of each entering class to provide them the opportunity to get settled in New York City during their first year of residence.
NYU Abu Dhabi PhD Program
The Program in Social Psychology maintains a relationship with the Social Psychology faculty at NYU Abu Dhabi. This relationship supports opportunities for collaboration between students and faculty across the New York and Abu Dhabi campuses. Students accepted for the NYU Abu Dhabi Ph.D. program will typically spend two years primarily in New York with multiple visits to Abu Dhabi. During those two years, students complete all or most of their coursework as well as carrying out research in collaboration with an NYU Abu Dhabi advisor and a co-mentor in New York. The subsequent three years are spent in Abu Dhabi completing the dissertation research and any remaining course requirements. For further information on the Global Ph.D. program, click here .

McMaster University fires associate psychology professor for 'exploitative' sexual relationships with students
Scott watter was found not guilty of sexual assault by an ontario judge in 2022.
![yorku psychology phd](https://i.cbc.ca/1.6005722.1619629538!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/square_140/samantha-beattie.jpg)
Social Sharing
Warning: This story contains distressing details, including mentions of suicidal ideation and self-harm.
A McMaster University associate professor has been fired after having sexual relationships with a number of students — conduct the board of governors determined was unethical and in some cases "exploitative."
The board announced its decision on Monday to "officially remove" Scott Watter from the Hamilton school's faculty.
"This decision is on the grounds that his conduct and pattern of behaviour involving students was an abuse of his position as a faculty member, amounting to a serious and fundamental breach of trust," said a statement signed by McMaster president David Farrar and board chair Jane Allen.
More than a year ago, Watter was found not guilty of sexual assault and sexual assault causing bodily harm by Ontario Court Justice Amanda J. Camara. He had been arrested in 2020 for alleged incidents in 2017 and pleaded not guilty.
- McMaster University psychology professor found not guilty of sexual assault
The complainant was a psychology student who alleged at the criminal trial that Watter kissed, touched and choked her without her consent while she was intoxicated. Some incidents led to "significant injury," she testified.
The judge found the Crown had not proven beyond a doubt that the sexual interactions were non-consensual.
After Watter's arrest in 2020, McMaster launched an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations within the psychology department against seven individuals. That investigation led to three faculty members, including Watter, and one graduate student being suspended.
Watter does not accept McMaster's findings and will request that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice review them, said his lawyer, Warren Mouck, in an email.
"The decision is reflective of a process that seemed not about determining wrongdoing but about shifting blame onto Dr. Watter, to distract from the university's handling of demonstrably false allegations against him and several others," said Mouck.
Watter's relationships were at all times consensual, his lawyer said.
![yorku psychology phd McMaster university building](https://i.cbc.ca/1.5505508.1692133371!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_780/mcmaster-university.jpg)
Watter knew of student's mental health struggles: McMaster
On Monday, a McMaster senate committee recommended terminating Watter, which the board of governors accepted, according to its statement.
One of the sexual relationships Watter engaged in was with a student who was in a "vulnerable position and relying on him for support," said McMaster's statement.
Watter was aware the student was engaging in self-harm and had suicidal ideation, according to a summary report of the senate committee.
"At times, the self-harm was so serious that Dr. Watter went over to Student 1's apartment so that he could counsel her and treat her wounds," the report said.
- McMaster employee put on leave after revelations surface of misconduct, 'sexual abuse' during past teaching
- 2 more McMaster faculty suspended, banned from campus after sexual misconduct allegations
He also "encouraged" her to engage in self-harm, advising her about wound care, providing medical supplies and recommending ways to prevent scarring, while also sending flirty text messages with sexual innuendos.
Watter used a website to find women in the Westdale area and met two students who he had sexual relationships with, said the report.
He used $4,000 in research grants to hire one of them as a graduate student, which he didn't disclose to the university as a conflict of interest, the report said.
He also flirted and chatted with a fourth student on the website, suggesting they meet in his office and acknowledging he knew she was in an undergraduate program.
The university described this "pattern of behaviour" was "entirely inappropriate" that exploited the power imbalance between faculty and students, said the report.
Watter's position at the hearing was that the investigation process was tainted, allegations were factually incorrect and he shouldn't be fired. He argued that no university policy bans consensual relationships between faculty and students.
The hearing committee determined Watter had harmed a student's vulnerability for personal, sexual benefits — breaching the university's core values.
It also found his conduct couldn't be reconciled with McMaster's "reputational interests" and could put it at risk of legal claims and liabilities.
