Several notable papers represent Plumert's recent scholarly output. These include:

  • "How do pedestrians respond to adaptive headlamp systems in vehicles? A road-crossing study in an immersive virtual environment" (2021, Accident Analysis & Prevention)
  • "Deciding when to cross in front of an autonomous vehicle: How child and adult pedestrians respond to eHMI timing and vehicle kinematics" (2024, Accident Analysis & Prevention)
  • "A comparison of daytime and nighttime pedestrian road-crossing behavior using an immersive virtual environment" (2022, Traffic Injury Prevention)
  • "How children judge affordances when walking and bicycling across virtual roads: Does mode of locomotion matter?" (2023, Developmental Psychology)
  • "Let's Cross the Next One: Parental Scaffolding of Prospective Control Over Movement" (2020, Child Development)

Plumert frequently collaborates with several co-authors, with the most common including Joseph K. Kearney, Elizabeth O'Neal, Lakshmi Devi Subramanian, Jeehan Malik, and Rini Sherony. Their collaborations have contributed to a coherent body of research across various journals and topics.

In terms of publication venues, Plumert's work has appeared in multiple outlets, including:

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Psychology students in the USA often consider online degrees that lead to flexible and rewarding career paths. Social work is closely related to psychology, and becoming a licensed social worker can broaden your career opportunities in mental health, community services, and advocacy.

Each state has its own specific steps to pursue a social work career. For example, understanding the requirements to be a social worker in Texas is essential if you want to practice there, as you'll need the relevant education, licensure, and supervised experience. Similarly, those interested in the mountain west should review Utah social work education requirements, which may differ significantly from Texas.

If you plan to work in New England, take time to learn how to become a social worker in Vermont. And for those hoping to work along the East Coast, the process for becoming a social worker in Virginia involves unique state requirements as well.

Online psychology and social work programs can prepare you for these pathways, offering flexibility and a solid foundation for licensure and clinical practice.
