      The Mission of The Center for Psychological Research (CPR) is to support psychological research and the dissemination of research findings.
The CPR facilitates psychological, social, and behavioral research efforts, particularly in diverse urban communities.  The CPR supports research
by the faculty and students at Metropolitan State University, but individuals at other institutions and in other areas are affiliated with the Center.
Anyone conducting psychological, social, or behavioral research, particularly in urban contexts, may seek affiliation with the Center. 

The CPR, formerly known as the Psychology Center, is hosted by Metropolitan State University in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, MN; affiliates
are located in several locations around the U.S.  The CPR acknowledges support from the College of Professional Studies at Metropolitan State.


Findings and opinions archived in the CPR are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Metropolitan State University.
