My Test -- I Mean Interview -- Subjects

Wow I'm so nervous for these interviews. I feel like I just submitted the last project and now I'm being thrown into this new project. I still don't fully understand the topic of this project, but I guess it's trial by fire?

• I have scheduled two interviews, one with Verica Buchanan (a professional in the field of psychology) and another with Dr. David Sbarra (a professor at the UA in the field of psychology).

• Verica Buchanan is a graduate research assistant at the ASU polytechnic campus in applied psychology. Dr. David Sbarra is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the UA as well as the Director of Clinical Training (DCT) for the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology.

• Verica Buchanan is a graduate assistant/associate in applied psychology as well as in simulation, modeling, and applied cognitive science from ASU. Dr. Sbarra received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Virginia.

• Professionally, Dr. Sbarra has worked in the field since 2004 (for about 13 years). While Verica Buchanan has worked professionally in the field for about six years.
