Dr. Jonathan Gore received his Ph.D. in Psychology at Iowa State University, and is an active member of the Society of Personality and Social Psychology and the Southeastern Society of Social Psychologists. He is also the faculty supervisor of the EKU Chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.

Currently, he is an associate professor in the Psychology Department with a research focus on goal motivation, self-concept, and culture. Since joining the faculty at EKU, Dr. Gore has published over 20 articles and book chapters on these topics as well as topics developed over the years with his students. His research assistants are actively pursuing their own interests, and they have presented at such venues as the Undergraduate Presentation Showcase at EKU, the Kentucky Psychological Association, and the Posters at the Capitol in Frankfort.

Dr. Gore’s research interests also correspond with his teaching interests. He teaches social psychology, cultural psychology, and research methods to both undergraduate and graduate students. He also teaches his “Boot Camp” course every summer, which gives students the experience of writing and submitting their own research paper for publication.
