Department Updates
Clinical-Community Program
Warm Welcome
Dr. Elissa Rosebraugh
At the beginning of the Spring 2025 semester, Dr. Elissa Rosebraugh joined the Clinical-Community program as the new Clinic Director for the WSU Psychology Clinic.
Dr. Rosebraugh has provided therapy and assessment services in various settings, including outpatient clinics, integrated health care settings, schools, and an academic medical center. Her training has included work with diverse ages and presenting concerns, including working with children, teens, and families, as well as supporting individuals struggling with high-risk behaviors such as suicidality and self-harm. She also has significant experience with outreach work, including providing psychoeducational training to school staff and community members.
Dr. Rosebraugh completed an internship and postdoctoral fellowship with the Munroe-Meyer Institute in their Rural Integrated Care Program located in NW Nebraska, receiving in depth training with a focus on rural mental health and high-risk populations, before joining WSU as the new clinic director. We’re glad to have you, Dr. Rosebraugh!
The Science of Autism and Social Identity (SASI) Lab
Dr. M. Renee' Patrick
The Science of Autism and Social Identity Lab (SASI), led by Dr. M. Renee' Patrick, is investigating different measures of autistic-related symptoms in an effort to inform clinical utility and enhance our understanding of the autistic experience. Students have been very active this year. Graduate student Madi DeFrain presented a poster on gender minority stress, autistic social identification, and social inclusion in gender expansive adults seeking autism evaluations for the APS Global Psychological Science Summit in October of 2024. Second year graduate student April Swartz presented her second-year project at Research Roundup in April 2025. April’s project centers on the effects of short form content on perceptions of autism symptoms. Second year graduate student Brenden Schwartz also presented his second-year project at the 2025 Research Roundup. Brenden's project focuses on the refinement of the RAADS-14 and test takers perceptions of various depictions of autistic symptoms. Both projects are currently under data collection.
Undergraduate lab member Beatriz Moscoso-Gomez completed her research project in May of 2025 that evaluated parent satisfaction with Applied Behavioral Analytic services in the greater Wichita metropolitan area as part of her McNair studies. Madi DeFrain and Dr. Patrick are currently working on a thematic analysis of responses to interview questions from the ADOS-2 and the MIGDAS from a population of adult students both with and without a formal autism diagnosis.
New to the SASI lab this academic year is graduate student Emma Abel. Her research interests center on the use of play in interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder. In addition to our new graduate student, several undergraduates have begun assisting with conceptualizing research projects and data entry tasks. Our undergraduate team includes Nicole Tobias, Beatriz Moscoso-Gomez, Shuary Datta, Jack Batta, Angela Hernandez-Monroy, and Daniela Vega.
Initiatives Supporting Positive Youth Relationships (INSPYRE) Lab
The INSPYRE research team, led by Dr. Slade, primarily studies how to best support children who are being bullied and socially excluded from peers. Her lab continues to offer Lunch Buddy Mentoring to socially excluded and bullied children in elementary schools within USD-259. Undergraduate student mentors visit their mentees twice/week and attend lunch and recess. They work toward improving their mentee’s quality and frequency of positive peer interactions. This year, mentors received a scholarship to support their involvement in Lunch Buddy Mentoring from the State of Kansas Applied Learning grant ($36,480). Binh An Howard recently completed her second-year research project looking at the benefits for participating mentors, finding that mentors gained a sense of confidence that they can have a real-world impact on the lives of children and greater community mindedness. Mentors also reported gaining communication, problem solving, and time management skills that can generalize to other domains of their lives. Second-year student Stephanie Rockey is also assisting in the evaluation of this program.
Dr. Slade’s research team also continues to maintain a research collaboration with KU School of Medicine-Wichita. Dr. Slade and her team assist in evaluating the BREATHE program, which teaches social skills and behavior regulation in the context of sports and recreational activities for youth with ADHD. The BREATHE program is led by Dr. Nicole Klaus and Dr. Zachary Blackhurst at KU School of Medicine. Stephanie Rockey participated as a lead counselor in this program this past summer.
Recently, Dr. Slade was awarded a Hope Hub seed grant ($9425) to help support the mental health of local firefighters. Dr. Slade and third-year student Anthony Hanna will be developing and delivering the educational training and first-year student Grant Gouwens, who recently joined the INSPYRE lab, will be evaluating this intervention as his second-year research project.
Dr. Samantha Gregus Slade
The INSPYRE research team is also continuing their monthly parenting series at the WSU Child Development Center, coordinating with Director Jillian Hoeffer, M.Ed. In these sessions, graduate students provide psychoeducation and invite conversation on topics of interest to parents, including managing child tantrums, handling sleep issues, and fostering positive social-emotional growth.
Members of the INSPYRE research team have been very productive this past year. Dr. Erah Ali completed her clinical internship, graduated, and is now completing a post-doctoral position at KU-School of Medicine-Wichita, where she specializes in the treatment of children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders. We are very proud of her and grateful she remained local as she is an incredible resource for our community. Makenna Snodgrass successfully defended her dissertation in October of 2024, setting a record for the INSPYRE lab in defending a dissertation before applying to internship. Not surprisingly, she obtained her first-choice internship at Penn Medicine in Lancaster, PA where she specializes in neuropsychology. Sarah Smith and Robin Moore both have successfully proposed and are in the process of collecting their data for their dissertations. Sarah and Robin are applying for internship this fall. Sarah was awarded the Dora Wallace Hodgson Scholarship for Outstanding Graduate Student of the Year and Robin Moore was awarded the Clinical-Community Psychology Student of the Year Award for academic year 2024-2025. Dr. Slade, Stephanie Rockey, and Sarah Smith all presented research at the Society for Research in Child Development in May 2025. The INSPYRE research team is particularly proud of alumna Dr. Elissa Rosebraugh, who returned to WSU as the Clinic Director for our Psychology Clinic. Our training program is so lucky to have you aboard!

Contextualizing Psychological Processes for Social Change (CPPSC) Lab
The Contextualizing Psychological Processes for Social Change (CPPSC) Lab, led by Dr. Nabiha Chaudhary, continues in its aim of utilizing community-engaged and qualitative methods to examine the ways underrepresented populations create change in their own lives and communities across different sociocultural contexts.
Graduate students in the CPPSC lab achieved much this school year. Melissa Miller and Areej Fatima successfully presented in a symposium chaired by Dr. Chaudhary at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) on meaning-making in marginalized communities. Melissa presented on WoC IPV survivors’ meaning-making processes informing public disclosure, and Areej presented on local BIPOC activists’ use and understanding of hope and healing.
In 2025, Dr. Chaudhary was invited to be a Speaker for the Psychology Research Seminar at University of Washington, Tacoma, where she delivered a talk titled “Meanings and manifestations of femininity among Indian and Pakistani immigrant women in the U.S.” Dr. Chaudhary published two first author works, on negotiation of femininity among Pakistani and Indian immigrants in the U.S. (Chaudhary & Dutt, 2025), and on the role of mother-daughter relationships in shaping femininity among Indian immigrant women (Chaudhary & Lam, 2025). Dr. Chaudhary is also publishing a third first author manuscript titled “Rooted in story: Implementation and evaluation of the tree of life intervention to promote cultural identity and hope for the future among refugee youth.”
Dr. Nabiha Chaudhary
The CPPSC Lab has multiple ongoing research projects. Dr. Chaudhary is currently collecting data through focus group interviews to identify international students’ barriers and support systems that shape their strategies for navigating academic and career prospects in the current U.S. context, amidst rising anti-immigration policies. Importantly, this study also seeks to generate actionable recommendations for universities, communities, and policymakers to support international students’ well-being.
Working in collaboration with two feminist collectives, Aurat March (Women’s March, Lahore Chapter) and Women’s Action Forum (WAF), Dr Chaudhary is also conducting interviews to understand the importance of intergenerational relationships in shaping Pakistani women’s feminist ideas and practices. This project’s results will help WAF and Aurat March evaluate and sustain their efforts.
The CPPSC Lab continues to develop and maintain community partnerships, specifically with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) Wichita office, and with Aurat March (Women’s March, Lahore Collective) and Women’s Action Forum (WAF) in Lahore, Pakistan.

Human Factors Program
Warm Welcome
Dr. Aziz Abubshait
Dr. Abdulaziz (Aziz) Abubshait joined the Human Factors Program in Fall of 2025 as an Assistant Professor.
Dr. Abubshait is establishing the BRAINS Lab (Bridging Robots, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroergonomics, and Social-cognition), where he and his team will explore how human brains function as they think, learn, and collaborate with Robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI). His work bridges psychology, neuroscience, and human factors to understand how people perceive and interact with machines designed to assist us in everyday life and work.
In the BRAINS Lab, Dr. Abubshait and his team study topics such as how robots guide our attention, how we make decisions in the presence of robots, how people interpret social cues from machines, and how attitudes toward robots shape these interactions. Current projects include how robots can guide older adults’ attention, and exploring how humans value pro-social behaviors towards robots.
Dr. Abubshait’s broader goal is to design technologies that serve—not replace—human abilities, making interactions between people and machines more intuitive and effective. We are excited to see what Dr. Skinner and the Hope Research team accomplish!
Simulation, Automation Trust, and Oculomotor Laboratory (SATO Lab)
Dr. Tetsuya Sato
The Simulation, Automation Trust, and Oculomotor Laboratory (SATO LAB) focuses on understanding how humans interact with emerging technologies and develop innovative solutions for facilitating human-automation interaction/human-autonomy teaming. Specifically, the SATO LAB will explore different factors that influence human performance, trust, and visual attention allocation in varying domains including but not limited to surface transportation and aviation. There are three ongoing research projects.
First, we are examining the role of anthropomorphism on pilot's trust, performance, and technology acceptance towards a humanoid copilot (i.e., called Denjin) in a single pilot operation. Second, we are examining the underlying mechanisms of vigilance decrement in a partially automated driving environment. Third, we are reanalyzing data to investigate whether gaze transition entropy and stationary gaze entropy could serve as a measure of trust in automation/autonomy. Through these research projects, we aim to 1) disseminate research findings, 2) expand our network with other research scholars, and 3) develop foundations for new research project and grant proposal.
Vision and Accessibility (VISA) Lab
Dr. Quan Lei
In September 2023, Dr. Lei was invited to the FAA COE TTHP (Federal Aviation Administration Center of Excellence for Technical Training and Human Performance) Phase I Research Symposium held in St. Petersburg, FL and reported on a project funded by FAA that conducted a thorough review of human error methodologies as applicable to aircraft certification. The project was successfully completed thanks to great team effort between HF faculty (Dr. Carryl Baldwin, Dr. Quan Lei) and students (Monica Connelly, Stephen Monroe, and George Altman). In addition, Dr. Lei attended the Annual Meeting of the Vision Science Society held in St. Pete Beach, FL in May 2024 and presented two research posters, one of his own on global motion perception in normal vision and the other with collaborators from John Hopkins on visual-auditory integration in individuals with vision and/or hearing loss.
