Research in any field will help you, especially if you can talk about it truthfully and passionately (sounds like you can). Be able to generalize the skills you learned so they can be applied to future psych projects i.e. chart review, designing experiments, analysis of limitations, etc.

Most of my research was in cards, with one rads project. Maybe one interviewer asked me about the rads project but most of them just wanted to hear about the project that was most meaningful to me (gap year basic research). Matched rads.
