Re: [tips] The season of the deceased grandparent
If a student misses a test for any reason, that is the one that is the dropped test. If they have taken all four of the tests, the final can replace the lowest of their four tests. - Original Message - From: Beth Benoit beth.ben...@gmail.com To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu Sent: Fri, 05 Sep 2014 19:38:19 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: [tips] The season of the deceased grandparent So do you require that students take all four tests before they can drop one?

It wasn't said but am I to assume that the final is cumulative and for this reason the ones who don't need to take the final are excused? That would make more sense because then everyone would be expected to know all the material and not just the material covered on the tests they (sometimes opted in clever ways) to take.

I don't know if things have changed that much, but my experience was real. Of course, I flunked out of the program at the end of my first year (for the same reasons that I didn't do very well in high school), but after 6 years of real world experience, I returned to school, majored in psychology and got my doctorate in 6 years.

To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu Since you brought this up, I'm going to ask a question that has been bothering me. Why do we care about this? That's a serious question--other than experiencing painful humiliation, did this young man do anything that merits the intensity of scrutiny by the media? Did he cheat, break any laws, do anything to gain from this? I'm (obviously) not a sports fan, so I'm pretty dumb about all of this. Isn't Mati Te'o's crime simply that he was a fool? Why make so much out of his humiliation?CarolOn Jan 19, 2013, at 9:11 AM, Mike Palij m...@nyu.edu wrote: The popular media has been playing up the unfortunate situation involving Notre Dame football lineback Mati Te'o who had the bad luck to have his grandmother and girl friend die on the same day. Te'o was an outstanding athlete (he was a candidate for the prestigious Heisman Trophy; for more details on his outstanding sports accomplishments, see his wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manti_Te%27o ), Those who follow college football know that these challenges to Te'o and his team would become a sort of Cinderella story as Notre Dame would go to the BCS National Championship Game but, unlike Cinderalla, they would get whooped by Alabama's Crimson Tide. Unfortunately, that was just the start of Te'o's problems as it turns out that his girl friend did not die. In fact, his girl friend was a fiction. Te'o had never met his girl friend in person and had developed his relationship with her online and with phone calls. But his girl friend turned out to be a fraud. Here is one timeline of how Te'o got hoaxed and how it translated into his football activities; see: http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/local_news/water_cooler/manti-teo-timeline-of-quotes-in-girlfriend-hoax-story The term Catfish has been used to describe this situation because of the documentary Catfish; see the description on www.imdb.com: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1584016/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 I use the quotes on documentary because there is the question of whether it is a real documentary, say, like one of Michael Moore's films or a documentary like Cloverfield or the The Blair Witch Project. In the documentary, a person develops a relationship online on the basis of a person's description on a website. They communicate via phone and email/etc and develop a relationship. But inconsistencies develop which lead to a road trip to find the truth which, of course, is documented on videotape. The name of the movie comes from a monologue given at the end of the movie by a Forest Gump type character about how catfish were put into tanks transporting cod to keep them active instead of passive (being passive apparently made their flesh flabby and unappetizing). The point or morale being, people pretending to be someone that they are not on the internet are like the catfish in the tank with the cod, they keep them active and save them from becoming flabby and tasteless (though Te'o may disagree on this point). More info about the film can be obtain from its Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catfish_%28film%29 The movie Catfish was put into limited release and has been put on MTV along with the TV series it inspired Catfish: The TV Series. HuffPost has one perspective on the TV series; see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/15/catfish-the-tv-show-wants-to-be-woman-video_n_2476640.html NOTE: So much for the Turing Test. It should be noted that Charles Marriott wrote in 1913 a novel titled The Catfish which can be seen as one source of inspiration for the movie though the internet has made hoaxing others with a false persona into high art. A review of Marriott's book is available in The Bookman on books.google.com; see: http://books.google.com/books?id=_A04AQAAIAAJpg=PA541lpg=PA541dq=%22the+catfish%22+%22charles+marriott%22+reviewsource=blots=3R1DPdyFIAsig=MajgwK9yYPk21cbbaYEjxH4e3wUhl=ensa=Xei=saH6UJTTGJO60QGFx4CgAQved=0CHwQ6AEwDQ#v=onepageq=%22the%20catfish%22%20%22charles%20marriott%22%20reviewf=false Books.google.com also has a free ebook of The Catfish and I would like to direct the reader's attention to page 401 which provides the explanation of how a catfish in a tank of cod keeps them active and tasty.

I have never been able to locate an official operational definition; however, the one I use is children who get whatever they want without having to do anything to get it i.e., their parents give it to them without any strings. I have found that students who are paying at least a part of their tuition and expenses work harder and get better grades (they go pretty much together in my classes) than their classmates who are there on their family's dime. I do ask some demographic questions in class, one of which is who is paying for your tuition and expenses: you, your parents, a combination, other (this question is listed as optional but more than half of the students reply).

It could be expanded to include any other items you wish. Checklist on APA Style A list of common errors often made in APA Style is provided below. Review all of them as you write papers and be sure your submission is free of these errors. 1.The list of sources at the end of the paper is labeled References, not Works Cited or Bibliography. All items in the list are arranged in alphabetical order. 2. Every point of fact in your paper must have a citation to a reference to a source to back it up. Do not say anything without a source unless it is strictly a personal opinion, an explanation, or a connecting comment to tie parts of the paper together. 3. Direct quotes should be used sparingly. If you have a direct quote in the paper, you must provide the page number in the intext citation: (e. g., Smith, 2006, p. 24). Do not put a page number in if it is not a direct quote: (e. g., Smith, 2006). See pages 173-176 of the Concise Rules for more information 4. The intext citation must match the start of the entry in the Reference list. In text (Smith, 2006) would match Smith, J. (2006) etc in the Reference list; (Oklahoma Statutes, 1974) would match Oklahoma Statutes (2006) etc. in the Reference list. This is to make it easy for the reader to locate the source for the information presented. 5. The first line of an entry in the reference list is flush with the left margin. All following lines for that entry are indented five spaces from the left margin. You may set your computer to use hanging indent and this will be done automatically. 6. All citations in the text must refer to an entry in the list of references at the end. And, only references actually cited in the text are included in the list of references. 7. In the list of references, use only the initial for author's first name, not the full name. 8. Do not put the author’s degree (e. g. Ph.D., M.D.) in the reference. 9. Do not write out or include abbreviations for the words volume, issue, etc. Look at the examples in the Concise Rules of APA Style, pages 215-218. Proper form: Smith, J. (2010). Principles of APA style. American Psychologist, 64, 234-237. doi: 10.1037/0278-6133.24.2.225 10. The next to last name and the last name in a list of authors should be connected by the use of the word “and” in the text ( e.g., Smith, Jones and Miller) and by use of an ampersand () in the citation (e.g., Smith, Jones Miller, 2008) in the text as well as in the list of references (e.g., Smith, Jones Miller (2008)…). 11. Only the first word of the title and the subtitle (generally follows a colon in the title) of a book or the title of a journal article are capitalized as well as all proper names. 12. Book titles and the names of journals are italicized. 13. You must have complete information on published articles that you reference (year, volume, pages, journal title, author. etc.), not just the Internet address of where you found it. 14. You do not need the Internet address for articles in the list of references, but should include the doi number, if one is available (see example in number 9 above). See pages 201-207 of the Concise Rules of APA Style for more information. 15. For reports published on the Internet, see pages 226-229 for examples of correct format. To refer to a web site as a general source of information, simply put the address in parentheses in the text. 16. For how to handle multiple authors of articles/books and proper use of et al., see pages 195-196 and page 216 (example 2) of the Concise Rules of APA Style. Best Wishes. C.

What do you think? I don't believe I have any obligation to write letters of recommendation for any student, but of course I do write letters for students that I have had in more than one class and who have shown a high degree of understanding in the course and especially if they have done some extra work in the course. Other students who ask are often told that I didn't think I could write a meaningful letter for them. Even A students may be told that the only thing I can say is that I had you in a class and you got a grade of A. As I said, I don't think I am obligated to write letters for students unless I think it might be helpful. I ask them to give me a short biography, work history, involvement in academic and social organizations, and anything else that I might be able to use to write the letter.

Re: [tips] Living Learning Communities Evidence Please
Annette Taylor tay...@sandiego.edu I call on your collective experiences for some input. Our university is moving to LLCs (living, learning communities). I spent 8 years teaching what we called Learning Communities. One of the problems with this type of course is that there is no one way that it is done, so I can only tell you about ours. Our community was made up of 45 students who met for 3 hours twice a week. It was taught by 3 faculty - 1 English, 1 humanities and one social science - (although I believe the model has been changed a bit since I left). The three faculty were all in the room for the entire time, even when they were not responsible for a presentation. The courses consisted of the first course in writing and introduction to humanities the first semester and speech and introduction to social sciences in the second semester. I loved teaching in the program and the students obviously loved it too (for the most part). Our retention rate from first to second semester averaged 85% and from first semester to graduation approximately 70%. That was considerably higher than the first year to graduation rate of students who did not participate in the program. I think some faculty are opposed to this kind of program because they feel uncomfortable being in the classroom with two other faculty for a total of 180 hours over the academic year. In my groups over the years there were two of us who were together for 8 years and she became known as my other wife since we spent so much time together in teaching and planning. We had a number of other faculty over the years, but had fun and a great success with our students. One of the side benefits of this program is that there are many people who we had in our communities with whom I still maintain contact on a fairly regular basis. Having known these students from the time they were 18 until now when the first students are now in their late 20s, has been a great personal experience. I have seen them go from beginning first year students to professionals and parents. I consider myself to have a very large family. . Robert W.

RE:[tips] When Time Slows Down (or Bullet Time in the Matrix)
Just to chip in one of my experiences. I used to sail Hobi Cats and when I was first learning how to sail them correctly, I decided to take up the challenge of another Hobi owner and race (we were in the Chesapeake Bay, jut for the sake of context). We had a good breeze and were moving along at a good clip when I shifted my weight too much forward and submarined one of the pontoons. I'm sure that from the time that this event started until the time the boat capsized and I hit the water was about 5 seconds; however, I remember having what seemed to be a long conversation with myself about what was happening, was I going to be hit by one of the pontoons or the mast, was I going to be able to right the boat if I survived, and what my wife was going to do if I drowned. Obviously, I didn't drown and did survive the incident; however, have never gotten over my love of Hobis. By the way, this was way back in the mid 70's and the only Hobi available then was a 12 footer.

The popular media has picked up on this research and one such source is the following: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19477623 The original research is available for free online at: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/09/04/rspb.201 2.1339.full.pdf+html Now, there are five experiments being reported and though I've skimmed them, each will require a more careful reading and analysis before one might one want to accept the following conclusion: |We propose that the temporal dilation during action preparation |reflects the function of the brain to maximize the capacity of |sensory information-acquisition prior to execution of a ballistic |movement. This strategy might facilitate changing or inhibiting |the planned action in response to last-minute changes in the |external environment.

Re: [tips] Students under 18 and research participation
It depends on the state in which your are working. A number of years ago, when I was working in Virginia, the Attorney General at the time ruled that anyone who is attending college should be considered an adult for this kind of situation. Since that was before the state has been changed a bit, I don't know if that still stands. Check your state's AG. Can anyone offer information about how your institution deals with the issue of minor students and their participation in research? I am particularly interested in how courses with a research participation requirement accommodate (or don't) the occasional student who is under 18 years old. Information coming to our IRB is that minor students must have parental permission. I am hoping that others have dealt with the practical considerations of such a stipulation and may have some advice to share on participant recruitment, age verification, seeking parental permission, and related issues.

Re: [tips] Info needed on appraisal of M and PhD
From: Dap Louw lou...@ufs.ac.za Subject: [tips] Info needed on appraisal of M and PhD I would therefore appreciate it if I could hear from colleagues in other countries and especially the US about the systems that they are using. I am especially interested in the US system where there are apparently no external examiners. A supervisor(s) and a committee, consisting of colleagues in the Department, are appointed whose decision on whether the thesis/dissertation should be accepted is final. Is this correct? I would appreciate more detail in this regard, e.g., how many members in the committee, what happens if there is a conflict in opinion between the supervisor and committee, or among the committee members? In my own experience at Purdue University in Indiana, the student made arrangements with a member of the graduate faculty to be their Major Professor who was essentially the overall guide and director of the student's research. In addition there were, most often, 3 additional members of the faculty (one from their major area of study, and one each from their two minor areas of study) who served on the doctoral committee. The Major professor was responsible for overseeing a Preliminary Examination by which it was agreed by the committee that this student was ready for completing his or her doctoral work or whether there were some deficiencies in their preparation. When it was agreed that the individual was ready to do their doctoral research, a proposal was submitted to the committee for approval or revision. This proposal was to contain relevant research which led up to the hypothesis that would be tested. When the dissertation topic and methods were approved, the candidate collected data, analyzed the data, and wrote the dissertation. This was under the guidance, advice, and approval of the Major Professor (and usually with a cursory review of the other members of the Committee. At the completion of this process, the candidate was required to meet with the committee and defend their dissertation. If the members of the committee all agreed that the work was sufficient for the conferral of the doctoral degree, it was done. One side point, dissertation proposals were announced to all of the faculty who were eligible to attend the dissertation and ask any questions that they might have. While final approval was the responsibility of the individual's committee, any questions from the invited faculty were considered as a meaningful part of the defense, I hope this is helpful.

Re: [tips] creationism again
I fail to see the problem. If one believes in God's involvement in the development as humans as we are today, the simple choice is 1. If one is an atheist, 2. is the answer. William Scott wrote: Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin and development of human beings -- 1. Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, 2. Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process, 3. God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so]? It seems to me that the question asks people to proclaim atheism as much as a belief in evolution. To believe fully in evolution one has to answer that god had no part in the process. . Robert W.

The issue is around a paper by a student where they are pointing out that in order to determine someone's sexual orientation, you need to determine their sex/gender. For example, if you see a couple holding hands and one is a man and the other is a woman, you would probably infer that it is a heterosexual couple. On the other hand, if you determine that both are men (or both women) you would probably infer that they are a homosexual couple. The question is, are you determining sex or gender? We can't find anything on this issue on the APA website, and, of course, the manual simply points out that gender is socially constructed and sex is biological.

Re: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I live in Fredericksburg, VA, close to the epicenter. My car has lots of warning lights and this morning the Check Tire Pressure light came on (this is relevant to the story). At the time of the quake I was in the car going to the grocery store and the car started acting funny - like it was losing tracking. I thought that I'd better get the tires checked and proceeded to the store. As I was walking into the store I noticed a lot of people standing on the sidewalk outside the store and wondered what was going on. As a passed on of the cars in the parking lot, an elderly woman called out to be and said that she was sitting in the car waiting for her husband, and all of a sudden the car started rocking back and forth. She asked if I knew why that would happen and, of course said no. I shopped, checked out, got back in my car and the radio was talking about the quake. At that time there were reports that the epicenter was in Richmond, Caroline County, Fredericksburg, and Ashburn, VA. The pentagon was evacuated (would have loved to see that) and Germanna CC where I teach, and NOVA CC north of me have both closed for the day. And I still don't know what all the fuss was about.

The guard said The alarms will go off shortly but you have to leave now. The guard didn't offer any additional information. Well, after 9/11, if someone tells me to get out of a building, I'm going to get. It was several minutes after I left the library that I hears about the earthquake.

Much of what Michael said about Avatar was true (see below if you haven't read it and are interested), and I believe that it was all intentional to make a point. We are a country in which many are filled with prejudice and fear of those who are different, and we are often very likely to exploit those who have something that we believe we need to have in order to make a large profit (e.g., the fact that we think that it is better to exploit the limited oil reserves that we have so that oil companies can make huge profits rather than to spend money on establishing a reasonable alternative). So I see Avatar a relatively accurate picture of how others around the world see us as a country, and many of the stereotypes are more true than we would like them to be. Remember too, that there were two marines who didn't fit the stereotype, Jake and Trudy. As the beloved Bobby Burns said, Wad Power but hae the gift to gie us, to see oursels as ithers see us. I think that Avatar gives! us that gift. Michael Britt wrote: When Avatar first came out it was clear that the movie contained some stereotypes, but now that I've watched it umpteen times with my kids I've come to dislike the movie more and more because I'm seeing Here's what I see: 1. The scientists are all (except perhaps Sigourney Weaver) geeky 2. The military are all beefy (jarheads) 3. The soldiers are depicted as not only ignorant of the culture of the Na'vi, but also uncaring and dismissive of it. I know that there was an element of this in the US invasion of Iraq, but still, can't one military person show some concern/interest about the natives of the planet aside from our hero? 4. Speaking of natives - It would be an interesting exercise to list all the pejorative terms the military use toward the Na'vi during the movie (blue monkeys comes to mind) 5. The corporate guy is depicted as your typical stereotype of a corporate guy - concerned only with money, equally dismissive of the Na'vi 6. I agree with those critics who have criticized the whole theme of white guy comes in to save the day for the natives, who are not capable of helping themselves 7. The Colonel of the military isn't just the worst offender of the stereotypes - he is a really, really mean guy. Why is he given so many opportunities throughout the film to show exactly how mean he is? What in the world drives such a mean person? Character development is not something this movie gives a whole lot of time to. . Robert W.

RE: [tips] Avatar Movie and Stereotypes
I believe that the answer to the question, When will white people stop making pictures like Avatar is, when we don't have to make pictures like Avatar any more. I'm sure that some people watch these movies and seem them merely as entertainment, but I see a reflection of what is really going on in this country and in the rest of the world. Often in situations where there is an oppressed people who have been exploited by a conquering horde a person who is a member of the conquering horde steps up and makes a difference. As an example, no matter whether the actions were always the most admirable, does anyone remember Charlie Wilson. For those who don't, from Wikipedia (yadda, yadda) the following: Charles Charlie Nesbitt Wilson (June 1, 1933 – February 10, 2010) was a United States naval officer and former 12-term Democratic United States Representative from the 2nd congressional district in Texas. He was best known for leading Congress into supporting Operation Cyclone, the largest-ever Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) covert operation, which under the Reagan administration supplied military equipment, including anti-aircraft weapons such as Stinger antiaircraft missiles, and paramilitary officers from their Special Activities Division to the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. His behind-the-scenes campaign was the subject of the non-fiction book Charlie Wilson's War by George Crile and a subsequent film adaptation starring Tom Hanks as Wilson. And they also made a movie about him. . Robert W. Wildblood, PhD Adjunct Psychology Faculty Germanna Community College drb...@rcn.com --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Re: [tips] Reliability of the sacred scientific method?
Jim Clark wrote in response to the NYT article about the failure of science. Just a couple of observations, not directly on Joan's interesting question about individual areas. 1. The decline effect is nothing to worry about as it should disappear with replication! 2. There are some truly egregious examples included here ... really,Rhine and ESP illustrates the decline effect? From the perspective of someone who worked in a private practice, which was presided over by a psychiatrist, I learned that the placebo effect is built into new medications. When drug reps visited our practice, we were regaled by the hype that the company sent the rep to give us and, while sitting in on some drug consults, I noticed that for a period of time, the psychiatrist would feed all of the hype to the patients (as he called them). Over time, however, the hype was gradually dropped. I believe that this is a perfect demonstration of the placebo effect. Stage one: The doctor prescribed this new miracle drug for me Stage two: The doctor prescribed this new drug and told me it really worked well for many people Stage three: The doctor prescribed this drug and told me that some people found it effective. If you chart that out it suggests that in stage one we are dealing with effect of drug + effect of hype Well, you get it. I agree that including Rhine studies as part of should not have been included as evidence of the failure of the scientific method and have a number of other questions about some of the information provided in the article. .

To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu Everyone, You know how you want to tell everyone when you get excited about something? Well, that's how I feel today. As most of you know, I've spent most of this year working on an iphone app that contains, as one reviewer put it, All Things Psych - a collection of videos on the classic studies in our field (the Milgram, Asch, Zimbardo, Harlow and Bandura studies, the Gloria counseling videos and even a few humorous favorites) among others, as well as up-to-the minute psychology news, blog posts, tweets, and the latest audio interviews and podcasts from around the web. This was a Mount Everest project - it was possible to do and somebody had to do it so I figured I might as well give it a shot. Spent most of the year working on this, but I think it turned out really well. As always, I’m happy to send my online virtual colleagues a free code (Apple gives me a limited number so do email me soon). The content really looks great on the larger iPad screen. I haven't had a chance to make a video of it yet, but you can find screenshots here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/psycexplorerhd/id40877?mt=8 A video of the iphone version can be found here: http://www.PsycExplorer.com I'm excited to say that in a few weeks the APA monitor will have an article on PsycExplorer and other psych apps. Also, you can gift the app to another psychology-enthusiast by clicking on the down arrow in iTunes (next to the price of the app) and clicking on Gift This App. I really believe the app will have a lot of value to anyone - teacher, student and life-long learner - interested in our field.

Re: [tips] Google Labs - Books Ngram Viewer
From: Christopher D. Green chri...@yorku.ca In case you harbored the delusion (like me) that Freud's hold on the culture might be fading away... Shameless promotion of a book written by a former colleague of mine that is excellent. He interviewed Skinner up to a short time before Skinner's death. It's a very good book written by a historian/biographer. B.F. Skinner: a life Daniel W. Bjork Basic Books, 1993 - Biography Autobiography - 298 pages The first major biography of America's preeminent psychologist (B. F. Skinner), this book is a riveting portrait of a controversial social inventor and entrepreneur whose ideas transformed education, child rearing, and even community life. This book not only traces his life and work through all its controversy and complexity but also places his contribution firmly within the American tradition of utopian and social-political debate. Daniel W. Bjork explores how the conflict between Skinner's turn-of-the-century small-town upbringing and his avant-garde, intellectual education shaped his science and his ideas about its application. Based on intensive interviews with Skinner and his family, a thorough examination of the Skinner collection in the Harvard archives, and access to thousands of personal notes Skinner wrote to himself between 1950 and 1990, this fascinating biography is an important contribution to the history of science.

Re: [tips] On Objectivity - and what research findings make us uncomfortable?
Michael Smith wrote several things of interest to me, anyway. First he said: What I usually find uncomfortable is that people use research to support their personal views. As a person who started my study of Psychology in 1964 and practicing as a teacher since 1970 and practitioner since 1976, I find that I certainly use research to inform my personal decisions about what approaches truth and my personal views about those things that research has offered a significant body of knowledge. Second, in regard to homosexuality, he said: For example, Michal Britt finds that he's ok with the research that finds homosexuality is not a mental illness. This is clearly not what research shows since it can show nothing of the kind. I would need a bit more clarification as to what Michael means with his comment about homosexuality. As a clinical psychologist, I was of the opinion through research, the decision of the very conservative editors of the DSM, and personal experience with the LGBT population that there was considerable support to believe that homosexuality is not a mental illness. I can understand that his personal belief might be different, which is reflected in the third statement that he makes, but that his position is supported by things other than research. Third, and most confusing to me was his statement: Another is the implication that we should be teaching students to heavily consider research before making up their minds on an issue. This is a monsterous implication and presumption. Far more important is what their parents and friends think about it, what religion says about it, what literature and the arts say about it, and what their own feelings and beliefs say about it. I can just say that the reason we have a Tea Party today is that too many people have based their beliefs (i.e., made up their minds) about too many things based on what their parents, friends, religion, literature, and the arts, and their own feelings and beliefs say about it where there may be considerable research that strongly suggests that what they believe on an issue is most likely wrong. Finally, Mike said: Lastly I'll mention the lip service paid to the scientific attitude. Exemplified in treating research results as if they actually were conclusive. I can agree that if a professor of psychology treats research results as if they actually were CONCLUSIVE that would be an error and I would suggest that any professor of psychology states that research can prove anything (including gravity, which probably comes as close to truth as anything we know) either didn't do well in their research methods courses or had a terrible instructor in those courses. .

Re: [tips] Personality disorder or PTSD?
Beth Benoit wrote: It seems to me that this kind of debate is at the heart of psychology: Is it a personality disorder or is it the result of stress? Again, just from my experience of a number of years in private practice, several of which I worked with veterans who had been given a psychiatric diagnosis and were eligible for treatment for these disorders, and also having served in the military and gone through their psychological evaluation upon reporting to boot camp, I would have to say first that it would be nearly impossible to diagnosis an individual with a personality disorder (...an enduring patter of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress and impairment. DSM-IV-TR) in the amount of time that they do the evaluations, since PDs are not often easily diagnosed in the first visit to a psychologist. This would suggest that that diagnosis on discharge would be nearly impossible to be considered legitimate. PTSD, on the other hand can often be done relatively quickly after a person has been subjected to an actual or perceived life-threatening experience. The statement in the article, A congressional inquiry is under way to determine whether the Army is relying on a different designation — referred to as an 'adjustment disorder' — to dismiss soldiers. Again, according to DSM-IV-TR, and adjustment disorder is a psychological response to an identifiable stressor or stressors that results in the development of clinically significant emotional or emotional symptoms. This diagnosis, although it should be differentiated from a true PTSD, seems to be a more legitimate diagnosis for many troops returning from a battle situation, and neither diagnosis should be considered to be a pre-existing condition. It's much easier to deal with someone who has lost a limb or who has suffered traumatic brain injury, than someone who has suffered severe psychological trauma from the horror of war. Historically, the government has always had difficulty resolving the problem of the promises it makes to those who they are trying to enlist and the reality of the way they deal with returning veterans. Our history in regard to this issue goes back to WWI. This will continue to be a problem so long as we don't figure in the cost of treating those individuals who will need care after serving in the military who have been damaged or disabled, and include these costs in military appropriation bills. .

Re: [tips] APA Con San Diego: College Students With More Psychopathology
Beth, From case law, an individual who is demonstrated to be a danger to society can be forced to take medication; however, this is extremely rare because it is almost impossible to determine whether or not an individual is likely to be a danger to society. Post hoc, a person who is found to be guilty and mentally ill (which is the most frequent decision about someone who commits a heinous crime but is determined to be mentally ill) can be forced to take medication while incarcerated. What the institution has the right to do is to deny admission, or to suspend the right to attend classes if there is a history of disruption to the process of education, whether that be within individual classes or on the campus as a whole. At my last institution, we had one student who was banned from campus, and this was by court order. He did show up on campus one day, the police were called, and he was removed. This is a serious issue and I think that most institutions are not paying enough attention to it. Perhaps it needs to be a national issue with a clear policy developed to guide how to deal with it.

Re: [tips] APA Con San Diego: College Students With More Psychopathology
Michael Smith wrote: For me, this brings up the question of whether clinically disturbed individuals should be attending college. Should the professoriate be required (i.e. forced) to deal with disturbed individuals in a classroom setting if the probability of behavioral problems is increased? Are they trained to do so? As a college professor, counselor, and administrator for exactly 40 years and a licensed psychologist for 36 years, I have seen this problem develop over time. I'm surprised that anyone is surprised by the fact that we have more students today with psychological disabilities. I'm also surprised that some people believe that psychological disabilities should be look at any differently than physical difficulties. This category of people has been well protected by federal law for at least 30 years (depending on how you read the ADA laws). Because more young people are being diagnosed with various disorders, and because there are medications that help many of these people function reasonably well under most conditions, those who have been diagnosed and medicated (if that is deemed useful) are showing up in greater numbers. Sounds reasonable to me. The interesting thing that I have seen is that many colleges and universities have been cutting back on providing services for these people on campus due to budget constraints (Sometimes against my recommendation. One of the recent lawsuits against a major Washington, DC university is an example of what can happen to an institution that does not follow the guidelines of the ADA laws). 99+% of the time there are no problems with these students since most colleges do ask faculty to make a statement in their syllabi in regard to the right for reasonable accommodations, and often have disabilities specialists to assess the student's needs based on documented evidence, and also understands what is meant by reasonable accommodations in a college classroom. I have had students in my Abnormal and in my Basic Counseling Skills courses who were diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, various learning disabilities, and ADHD (among other diagnoses) and have had only one problem with a student who was medication non-compliant and when she was off meds could cause disturbances in class - and she did and was told that until she could come back with assurances that she was following her medication regime, she would not be allowed to attend classes at that institution. At my current institution, and in other institutions of which I am aware, students are informed that we do not do therapy and that we will make every effort to refer them out - not unreasonable since as a practicing clinician, I am not able to treat all individuals who have come to me for help and I make every effort to refer them to another clinician. What some institutions are doing is forming teams to receive information about a student who may be causing problems in the classroom and to respond to that situation. Typically these teams comprise faculty, administration, and campus police and receive training in how to assess and address these kinds of situations So, in my experience (no research, just anecdotal experience), this report is not surprising, and things are probably not going to change. .

Re: [tips] Textbook rentals?
I don't know about today, but when I was a student at Purdue University from 1964 - 1970, both Southworth's and University Book Store had a policy of buy a new book pay full price. Turn it in at the end of the semester and get 50% back. They then sold used books at 75% of the new book price and again, turned in they gave 50% of the price paid. I didn't turn many books back except those that were for courses that I decided were only required for the degree outside of psychology courses, and I kept a lot of those as well. I still have on my shelf a couple of those books including a very early edition of Hall Lindzey's _Theories of Personality_ .

To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu Today I was somewhat surprised when a NY City metro area university that I shall not identify here announced that their campus' bookstores, which are operated by a private entity, are going to start offering textbook rental services starting this Fall. Presumaby, the rentals will result in upwards of 50 percent off new textbook prices. In addition -and I thought this was interesting- the program allows students to highlight the textbooks and take notes throughout the text. And just like a leased car, the student can also buy the textbook at the end of the term. I said that I was somewhat surprised because although I am one of those who feels that textbooks have become overpriced, and because I recognize that some students who buy their textbooks (a few others seem not to even bother purchasing them) end up getting rid of their books at the first opportunity, I feel this rental program undermines the real purpose of a college education. At the same time I think that textbook renting perpetuates a business/consumer approach to learning. This sort of thing just does not feel right to me.

RE: [tips] Best Methods, Stats, and Stats Lab Instructive Material
Marc Carter opined: I know it's not possible in many places, but in a perfect world all psych undergrads would do a year-long, 6-hour-a-week Analysis and Design course. To quote Winer (et al. -- the 3rd, 1991 posthumous edition with Brown Michels): Science is concerned with understanding variability in nature, statistics is concerned with making decisions about nature in the presence of variability, and experimental design is concerned with reducing and controlling variability in ways which [sic] make statistical theory applicable to decisions made about nature. That quote has always made a big impact on how I teach design and analysis. Even when I taught stand-alone stats classes, I always included method. The one makes so much more sense in the context of the other. I respond for two reasons. First, I agree with what Marc said about the ...in a perfect world all psych undergrads would do a year-long, 6-hour-a-week Analysis and Design course. But, alas, most of us do not live in such a world. I have taught both in the separate course format, and would much rather have the option to do exactly what marc suggests, but find it nearly impossible. I also lament that many really good psych majors do not become psych majors until they find toward the end of their second semester of their sophomore year, that the business program or the administration of justice program is not what they really want, and that complicates matters. Second, I just have to say that I had the great pleasure of having Ben Winer as my stats professor as a graduate student using the first edition, and yes, he is as good a professor as I have ever had. I also had Don Brown and he was also a remarkable professor.

RE: [tips] What A Day: Mystery, Redemption, Astrology, Astronomy, History, and Tragedy
It must be nice to never be wrong. Original message Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 18:14:02 -0400 From: Louis Schmier lschm...@valdosta.edu Subject: RE: [tips] What A Day: Mystery, Redemption, Astrology, Astronomy, History, and Tragedy To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu I accept your apology, but not your qualifications or back door vindications. And, Bob, he didn't gotcha anybody! First, just because someone else does something is not a vindication of doing something similar. (never have seen South Park). Second, one supposed act of disrespect, again, doesn't excuse any other acts of disrespect. Third, I don't buy that was I disrespectful of whomever or whatever in my message referring to Ben Stein. Of what or whom was I disrespectful? Not all people of science are Mengeles; not all people of science walk on the surface of the water! As an historian, who knows something more than a tad about the history of science, I'll stand by every word I said in that message. Oh, by the way, neither Stein nor I said science equals Nazism. The Nazi T-4 plan was an application by men of science, however perverted, of Herbert Spencer's social Darwinism, which, in turn, twisted Darwin's Theory of Evolution. But, you might also want to take a peek at Ulfried Gueter's The Professionalization of Psychology in Nazi Germany and Robert Lifton's, The Nazi Doctors, as well as the records of the medical trials of men of science at Nuremberg. Or, you might want to Google Mississippi appendectomy. Off to my garden. We had winter on Thursday and summer hit on Friday.

I'm sorry that you feel that way because I did not intend to be disrespectful and apologize to anyone to anyone who thought I was being disrespectful. But while we're on the topic of being disrespectful, Louis, I was wondering: how disrespectful was I? Consider the following: (1) South Park pokes fun at the Catholic Church implying that it is actually run by a giant Queen Spider (which leads to people pooping out of their mouths -- you have to see the episode if you don't understand) or (2) Your support of Ben Stein's Science leads to Nazism; see the following for the original Ben Stein qoute: http://www.mail-archive.com/t...@acsun.frostburg.edu/msg24782.html and Louis support of Ben Stein's position: http://www.mail-archive.com/t...@acsun.frostburg.edu/msg24785.html The rest of the thread can be found on the alternate universe TiPS archive. So, was my level of apparent disrespect the same as the examples above, more than the examples above, or less than the examples above? And, no, you can't claim that you weren't being disrespectful in your support of Ben Stein's Science=Nazism position. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: lschm...@valdosta.edu.

Re: [tips] An Informal Memory Test
Mike Palij queried: So, the question is Why can't students who spend about 15-16 weeks with a textbook, presumably reading it and taking notes, and preparing for exam on material therein, have such a hard time remembering who the author(s) of the textbook was? That's a good question, but I think that it is even more interesting that they often don't know the name of the instructor of a course they are currently taking is two weeks after Spring Break. .

Re: [tips] Blackboards vs Whiteboards - Where to lean?
Nancy Melucci said: Hmmm...whiteboards are bad for your brain and nervous system, chalkboards are bad for your lungs. It doesn't seem like much of a choice, does it? If we put aside our health issues, it would seem that chalk may be hard on our clothes, but marker ink is harder. Is there an option C? My option C is to have no boards of any kind in the room but have a projection system and one of those fancy things on the console that you can draw on and the computer can project it through the system. I have one in one of the rooms I teach in and it works really well. . Robert W.

Re: [tips] Psychiatry screen
Paul C Bernhardt wrote in reference to the 3 minute self-report: Am I the only one that just has a bone rattling shudder go down his or her spine? Having served for a number of years as a Clinician I went to the website and took the test. It consists of the same line of questions that a clinician would ask a client. The report that the individual gets is filled with cautions and caveats and essentially says that you should go see a professional. I don't see much wrong with that. . Robert W.
