RE: [tips] Clinical search

2018-02-16 Thread MARK CASTEEL 
Hi Stephen. We’re in the middle of such a search right now. We too had a 
fairly small number of applicants, but we attributed it to our relatively 
late start (one of my colleagues didn’t find out until early December that 
she needed to move for personal reasons). Our ad didn’t go live until very 
early in January. We did a search for a clinical or counseling psychologist, 
and specifically are interested in someone who can teach bio bases of 
behavior and research methods as well as abnormal, clinical, and counseling 
courses. We had three of four on campus and hope to make a decision soon. So 
I would guess that your experience pretty much mirrors ours.

Dear TIPSters,

We just finished a search for a Clinical Psychologist at Utica College (with 
Testing and Assessment teaching focus). We had surprisingly VERY few 
applicants. I'm wondering if this has been others' experience recently or if 
it was something specific about our ad or something else. Any general input 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

But why do the bullies “need to get results” – what made them the data
police? Or gave them the license to destroy individual researcher’s
careers to “promote change” (not sure what the change is, other than
perhaps fear).



It will take decades to change how we analyze and report data. We need to
write new textbooks, teach undergrads and grad students differently,
change journal policies, train editors/reviewers, granting agencies, etc.
But right now people don’t even agree on the nature of the replication
crisis or what should be done about it.



And finally, Cuddy published a paper in 2010 following the standard rules
for the field at the time (really still today) on which she was second
author. It seems pretty likely that the personal attacks on her were (are)
related to her being too ambitious, too pretty, too well educated, and too
outspoken. Some of the comments on the New York Times article even
demanded an apology from her which is incomprehensible to me (unless we
all apologize for conducting research as we were trained to do).

There are those who would argue that it is the peer review process that
has failed us by avoiding the publication of replication studies in favor
of flashy "discovery". As well many of the critics who have been accused
of cyber-bullying have argued that when the arguments have been made in
the abstract without specifically calling out individual researchers,
there has been little consequent action, but now they are getting results.
Here is an interesting post by James Heathers about what it feels like to
be a so-called cyber-bully.

I think they are bullies (and I am not trying to deflect attention from
myself). And I don’t think it is good for science. We already have a
process by which we can discuss replication (or problems with studies)
namely by publishing in peer reviewed journals focusing on the evidence
instead of making personal attacks. Blogs are not peer reviewed and are
just a few individual people’s beliefs without any checks and balances. We
should focus on making our science better not on destroying people’s
careers.



The field is full of underpowered studies as well as findings that will
probably not hold up under replication (although lots of replication
studies are themselves under powered or presented with glee as if one
failed replication can provide conclusive evidence). We should fix these
problems (in our training of undergraduate and graduate students, journal
editorial policies, etc.) and not by attacking individual researchers.

Below are links to film clips of how he presented the white rat and the rabbit

Rayner seem to be throwing the rabbit at Albert, and (b) Watson keeps placing

It's not often non-academic comics touch on the byzantine intricacies of
APA style and the emotions they can elicit. It is now two straight on
Bloom County 2015:

https://goo.gl/52OGgC

 

The first one of these was published the day after we talked in class
about the tortuous journey of two spaces after a period between APA 4th,
5th and 6th.

I just wish I could find a very nice discussion of DID that wasn't so long. As

have a hard time justifying spending an entire day on DID. In fact, my bias 
these last few years is to spend less and less time on the discussion of the

Karl, I know how you fell. I hate agreeing with the APA too. ;-)

Just a few additional points:

(1) The discussion so far implicitly assumes that we are only talking about 
manuscripts produced by some form of word processor.  Perhaps some Tipsters are 
too young to remember that some publishers required authors to provide "camera 
ready" text which was then used in the final published product (often this was 
from a typewriter).
.
One example comes from this APA-ish style reference:

Launer, R. L., & Wilkinson, G. N. (Eds.). (1978). Robustness in statistics. New 
York: Academic Press.

See:
https://books.google.com/books?id=dabiBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA202&dq=%22Robustness+in+Statistics%22++Launer+Wilkinson+%22all+models+are+wrong%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-KEWVdDsGoe_ggT_uoSgCg&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Robustness%20in%20Statistics%22%20%20Launer%20Wilkinson%20%22all%20models%20are%20wrong%22&f=false

The link above should lead to page of George Box's chapter where he famously 
said "All models are wrong but some are useful".  What appears to be the 
original manuscript for this chapter can be obtained
here:
http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA070213

Today, with electronic submission of manuscripts, the published article or book 
chapter can follow whatever conventions the printer and/or the publisher 
desires.

(2) Using word processing software, however, is not without its problems 
because it depends upon on how "smart" the software is or, in other words, what 
capabilities it has to alter the appearance of text.  One thing that has been 
involved in this discussion is the concept of "kerning," the process of spacing 
of letters within words and between words. For more on this topic, see the 
Wikipedia entry on kerning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning
Spacing within words and between words affects eye movement and cognitive 
processing as shown in work of Slattery & Rayner; the ref
is:
Slattery, T. J., & Rayner, K. (2013). Effects of intraword and interword 
spacing on eye movements during reading: Exploring the optimal use of space in 
a line of text. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 75(6), 1275-1292.
The article is accessible at the link below and on Researchgate:
http://link.springer.com/article/10.3758%2Fs13414-013-0463-8

Getting the "spacing" right is a problem for proportional fonts and different 
types of fonts (and how they are implemented) can make text easier or harder.

(3) I think that one reason why APA style uses "ragged right" instead of left 
and right adjusted is because the former helps with spacing especially with 
proportional fonts.  With both sides adjusted, the spacing between words is 
usually increased (leading to distracting white space) and sometimes the 
spacing between letters within words (which makes the words look strange).  
Since proportional fonts assign unequal space for letters (less for "i", more 
for "m"), left and right adjusted text looks stranger than for monospaced text. 
 One can see this problem in old newspapers where the "column" had to be 
maintained even though odd spacing occurred.

(4) Karl, sorry to hear about your vision problem and I hope that reading 
manuscripts on a large monitor compensates.  Reading actual paper papers must 
be a drag.

RE: [tips] AP Classes are a Scam

2012-10-19 Thread Mark Casteel 
Interesting discussion as we just had a departmental meeting yesterday. We
used to give credit for a 3 or higher, but now only give credit for scoring
a 5. There's a lot of sentiment among faculty, however, to revisit that
decision and maybe not give any credit at all. We're seeing students scoring
5s having all kinds of trouble in our other courses.

I suspect that there's a lot of variation.

Thinking back to the distant past when my kids were in high school, some of
the high school math teachers teaching AP math had barely as much math as
they were teaching.

Remember, a teaching degree in math education can require fewer actual math
courses than an undergraduate math minor.

On the other hand, one son went on to get a doctorate in math and now grades
AP math!

But he never took a high school math course (we made other arrangements).

I'm not at AP-affiliated Tipster (but I have a colleague who is) and I don't
see much problem with the AP system as far as giving credit for college
classes for high scores. Most high school classes will meet five times a
week for an academic hour as opposed to college classes that meet three
times a week so there is a lot more time available to cover material and do
various other activities (even with the usual HS time wasters). The only
part of the program I see as a scam has to do with cases where very low
percentages of students taking the AP classes at some schools do not pass
the test. That pass rate should be publicized to potential students and
their parents. We had a high school AP class in our town (not Psychology)
where an extremely low percentage of students in the class passed the test
and, as far as I know, the same teacher is still teaching it. That is
troubling but it really has nothing to do with the college equivalence
granted to students who pass the test at a high level.

doctoral program, so none of the PhD programs at Phoenix have APA
accreditation. If your listener were applying for a job to a traditional
institution where both research and teaching are emphasized for a job, this
would likely be a deal breaker. I would also expect this person would have
fewer (if any) publications coming out of an on-line program, which would
also be a big problem.

Subject: [tips] Opinion of University of Phoenix

One of my listeners is currently getting her BA in psych from UoP and was
thinking of going on to getting a Master's and a Ph.D. from there. She's
worried about how these degrees from UoP will be looked upon by traditional
schools when she goes applying for jobs.  I have to admit I might be more
than a bit curious as to exactly what classes she took and what field
experiences she had as part of the program (especially if it's a clinical
position obviously) and of course I'd look carefully at her dissertation to
see if it was good quality research.  Other thoughts?  How would you look
upon a candidate with a degree from UoP?

Hi Carol. To my knowledge, no one with an environmental psych background has
attended WAS*IS, but of course, that doesn't mean that it couldn't fall
under that umbrella. My understanding of most people in environmental psych
is that they study the interplay between humans and the immediate physical
environment (i.e., living spaces, open spaces). I've not seen it applied to
the weather. I'm by no means an expert in environmental psych so there may
be folks out there that DO study it; I'm just not aware of them.

Do any of your psychology programs have a course that orients students to
the psychology major as a whole? 

 

At some institutions this is a sort of omnibus course that allows students,
as soon as they declare a major, to prepare a program of study that will
maximize their immediate and long term goals, with a fail safe in there
someplace in case plans change. Some look at how to maximize psych goals in
terms of core requirements. As well, it seems to often times be a
combination careers course combined with an orientation to psychology as a
science, with some information literacy components, APA style components,
graduate school preparation components and others.

 

If your department or program does, (or if you know about institutions that
have such as program) can you please tell me about it, or better yet, send
me a syllabus. There is only one on project syllabus for the course taught
by Drew Appleby at Indiana Purdue. There are also a couple of careers
courses but I am more interested in an omnibus course such as the one at
Indiana.

 

Thanks

I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed it, Marie. As for the fast
subtitles I mentioned, I do pride myself on reading quickly. I think
that perhaps I was, um, distracted by certain of the images from
attention to the subtitles. There could even be a sex difference
there! Now if only I spoke Norwegian.

Now that I've seen almost all of them (one to go), I should warn of a
small disappointment. Probably because the hosting site has a video
length limit, two of the videos were truncated before the end. I
don't think much was lost, though.

RE: [tips] e-prime

2011-02-23 Thread Mark Casteel 
Hi Annette. I can only speak for eprime, but I started out the same way as
you. The only programming language I knew prior to MEL was BASIC (gives you
some idea of how long I've been around!). I successfully ran a number of
discourse processing studies on MEL, although it was a pain. I'm using
eprime now, and to be honest, really do like it. I especially like the
ability to filter the data on any of a number of sets of variables and then
export into anything - Excel, SPSS, my statsoft software. I've done all of
the programming myself. Once you understand the logic of getting an
experiment up and running, it's not too bad. Yes, there is a learning curve
but there are a number of tutorials that are helpful. Could some savvy
undergrads learn how to use it? Sure, as long as they put in the time. My
guess would be that a week of part time playing around with the software
would be enough to get them able to program a basic experiment. There are
also a number of standard protocols you can adapt per your experimental
protocol. These are all available via the support website.

Subject: [tips] e-prime

 

 

 

Many years ago (at least 20) I used Mel, which was a precursor to MelLab and
then to psychMate and to the full program, e-prime. I did not have a
positive experience with Mel. After countless hours and hours I was unable
to get programs to compile and the technical support was really poor. It was
a frustrating experience all around for what was then a relatively expensive
program. I never got a single program to run. Similarly with psychmate I was
never able to modify any of the programs successfully although the claim is
that it can be easily done. I am not a programming moron. I did take some
programming classes in grad school and on my last sabbatical learned to use
Java. But I am also FAR from being a programming whiz. Those dratted commas
always get me ;)

 

I know Lel evolved into e-prime and I imagine that after 20 years the
support staff has changed quite a bit. I wonder if anyone on the list has
any experience with it. What level of comp programming proficiency would
someone need. Could undergrad students with no comp sc background use it?

 

Also, does anyone have experience with medialab. How about any other
software tools out there for psychology? Biopac?

 

We have a MODEST windfall and thought we'd look into acquiring some general
purpose software that could be used by those of us with bio, cog, social
labs.

Hi Carla. I found the idea of driving while asleep (i.e., during

There's an interesting post on Psychology Today from John Kline, a Yale

apparently has happened.
