Dr. William Hoyt joined our faculty in the fall of 1999. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995, and was Assistant Professor of Psychology at Iowa State University from 1995-1999.
Dr. Hoyt's research and teaching interests include a focus on improving
research methodology in counseling psychology and beyond. He is
enthusiastic about alternatives to self-report measures and has
helped to develop methods to make these approaches (e.g., observer
ratings) more user-friendly. He has written extensively about measurement
and about issues of data analysis and interpretation. Other scholarly
interests include a substantive focus on interpersonal perceptions
and social interactions, and on social relationships as markers
of psychological well-being. He is interested in applications of
social psychological theories to understanding both counseling process
and mental health, and also in the utility of newer research methodologies,
including generalizability theory and meta-analysis, for addressing
problems of interest to counseling psychologists.
Dr. Hoyt teaches courses on research methods and group counseling,
as well as interviewing skills (for advanced undergraduates). He is an enthusiastic proponent of work in groups to facilitate
interpersonal awareness and understanding of relational dynamics,
and supervises basic and advanced group practica at the doctoral
level. In Fall 2006, he will begin serving as Training Director
for the PhD Program, and will teach the first semester doctoral
seminar (CP 925).
