[tips] Greetings.
Thanks, and yikes. (Yikes on the Fox 25 interview claiming that national health care leaves countries vulnerable to terrorism.) I agree that this would be a good clip to have students in social psych consider. I'm new to this list serve-very lively! Thanks. I will be teaching social psych and a senior thesis class this fall. Have others on this list read Drew Westen's book "The Political Brain"? In it he talks about how good the political right in the US is at using emotional appeals, and how the left fails when it uses exclusively rational appeals. (At least that is my interpretation of one aspect of the book.) The health care debate seems to exemplify this. It puzzles me that the administration and advocates for health care reform do not use the many possible emotional appeals that would be available. Any thoughts on this?

How about filing it under correlation vs causation?

This sounds a bit like social learning. Should we file this under the
annals of "we already knew this"? We've known for a long time that hitters

Our library database has a one year embargo on Child Development. Perhaps
those who are interested can read the original research paper and discuss.
If anyone has access to it and is comfortable sending it to me offline as a
pdf I would appreciate that.

RE: [tips] Implicit racism
Have you tried Dovidio? I think there is a study like the one you mention in which he is a co-author. Alice Alice LoCicero, Ph.D., ABPP, MBA, Associate Professor and Chair, Social Science Endicott College Beverly, MA 01915 978 232 2156 From: Jim Dougan [mailto:jdou...@iwu.edu] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 9:23 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Implicit racism TIPsters I have a social psych question. I have been blogging a lot lately about racism, and just finished a post on subtle, subconscious racism. Some years back I saw a talk by a job candidate in which she described the following study: Subjects were asked to rate resumes. Some subjects saw a resume with a traditional Caucasian name (Donald) while others saw the identical resume with an African American name (Denzel). The resumes with the Caucasian names were rated higher. I am looking for a reference for this experiment. I have found studies reporting a naturalistic version of this - in which resumes were actually sent out to potential employers - but the study I am thinking was experimental and done under controlled conditions. Does anyone know a reference for the experiment I am describing? In case you are interested my blog post on the topic is here: http://hippieprofessor.com/2009/09/16/the-subtlety-of-modern-racism/ Thanks! -- Jim Dougan *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Be sure to see my blog! http://hippieprofessor.com <http://hippieprofessor.com/> --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
RE: [tips] Shutter Island
My 2 cents worth here--I think it depends on the assignment. If the assignment is to find a novel with some psychological themes and compare the treatment of those themes in the book with scientific knowledge about them, it sounds like this book might be an option. I would hate to have students assume that the author has done the research and is portraying themes accurately, but researching that would be, I think, a worthy exercise. It also occurs to me that it would be good to know when the story is coming out in movie format, in case your student plans to find a way around reading a novel.

[tips] question about faculty missing classes
Since I am chair at the moment, I get a lot of information from students and faculty about how many classes faculty cancel. I have no way to rate this, since I really don't know what is "normal." I'm curious whether anyone has come upon any sort of research or data on this. I need to know about what percent of classes the average college faculty member misses. Naturally, I realize this will vary from time to time, when, for example a faculty member is ill or has an ill family member, etc. I also want to exclude from this any classes where someone else proctors a test, for example. Still, I think some range should be able to be established-or perhaps is established. Also, I am wondering whether, in other colleges, chairs are asked to approve absences for professional conferences, etc. Thanks for any feedback on this.
