Authors

Susan Nolan

Susan A. Nolan is Professor of Psychology at Seton Hall University in New Jersey, where she has been a 2020 College of Arts and Sciences Teacher of the Year. Susan has researched curricula and assessment in psychology education, the interpersonal consequences of mental illness, and the role of gender in science careers. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation. Susan was the 2021 president of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology. She also is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Association for Psychological Science. She holds an A.B. from the College of the Holy Cross and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. Susan is fascinated by the applications of psychology to the “real world,” both locally and globally. She served as a representative from the APA to the United Nations for 5 years, and was a recipient of the Fukuhara Award for Advanced International Research and Service from the International Council of Psychologists. She was a 2015–2016 U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she and her husband have a home, as well as a 2023 U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Australia. An avid traveler, Susan uses the examples she encounters through these experiences in the classroom, in this textbook, and in the statistics textbooks that she co-authors.


Kelly M. Goedert

Kelly Goedert’s fascination with psychology – and in particular, how the mind works, began with the simple question: “How is it that we get so good at tying our shoes?” Simple, but profound. What if we never got good at it, or anything else for that matter? Kelly has found that she loves answering questions with numbers. Her idea of a fun vacation is a week-long Bayesian workshop in the Netherlands. (OK, she likes other, more relaxing vacations, too!) Kelly graduated from Western Kentucky University with an undergraduate degree in psychology and an MA in applied experimental psychology. After spending a year working in market research, she returned to school to earn a PhD in cognitive psychology from the University of Virginia. Kelly’s research has ranged from studying spatial attention in healthy human populations and in people with stroke-induced attentional impairments to investigating how people make causal inferences about events (e.g., “What’s causing my stomach upsets?”). Most recently, she is starting a line of research graph comprehension. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. She is a fellow of the Eastern Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science. Currently, she is professor of psychology and chair of the psychology department at Seton Hall University, where she is also a faculty member in the data analytics program. In her spare time, she enjoys meditating, traveling, and hanging out with her partner and her dogs.
