It looks like social psychology is about to become the primary site of a
potentially nasty political struggle, at least in the US. A
soon-to-be-published survey shows sizeable minorities of social psychologists

Not to speak of the scientific struggle: how are we supposed to know what's
what if editors and grantors are politically biased?
Sheesh I mean, I understand that at root we are all biased. But we know
this and should fight against it.

Okay, I can see why from a scientific perspective one might want to put
a mini-cam collar on a cat and allow ot to roam around outside while
recording its activities -- perhaps one could file this under ethology --
but does one really want to look in to the dark void that is the mind of
a cat? We
I can vouch for the cat philandering. My old cat was quite the "cat about
town" and I could frequently find him lounging in the driveway of a house
on the next block (with their two big German shepherds, no less!). All the
neighbors knew him. I suspected him of dining out at the home of a man

And then the cats and doggies come home to kisses and licking of owners' faces
ugh ha!

Yes, what a surprise that cats are predators! They are not the only predators
"out there" of course, especially in the wilds of NH (where Mitt Romney shops
for "hardware stuff" Yikes!). I lost two cats the past few years, and the
thought of seeing, up close on cam, the open jaws of a larger pre

" Exact numbers are unknown, but scientists estimate that nationwide,
cats kill hundreds of millions of birds, and more than a billion
small mammals, such as rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks, each
year.

I would be happy if my cat reduced the sneaky pear-theiving squirrel
population in my yard, but then I don't let her outdoors. Three chihuahuas
don't do it either, although they might deafen a few critters. Going to get
myself a slinghshot.

I am a little surprised at the result, as the data in the table was % who
checked 4 or higher on 7 point scale. BUT, I am always cautious with results
from such scales for lots of reasons ... (1) results can change with the verbal
anchors on the scale .. what were they? I anxiously await seeing
I too was amazed at the havoc that domestic kitties can do as they hunt for
fun and stimulation... I used to use the article mentioned (Chrucher & Lawton)
as a research design analysis exercise in my Experimental Psychology class...
Its an interesting and easy to understand study for students
Hi
Without looking at the paper, we need to be cautious about the implication of
this. What is it that people think of when asked about a "conservative"
position on psychology-related topics? Might they be concerned about
conservative biases that could influence conclusions and explanations?
When I was in graduate school, folks from the clinical wing would suck it up
and come visit with us rat runners with the following question (stated in
different ways). I've got the printout from BMDP from my dissertation data.
Do any of you people down here know what it means.
I resist using
This is my opinion, also. Using SPSS, or any other program, with all our
undergraduates is generally not a good idea. The reason that I feel that way is
that I have plenty to do to teach them how to understand concepts and context.
I'm also usually teaching them how to write in APA style. So, if
Hi
It depends I think on how much time you have to impart statistics and research
methods to undergraduates. In our honours program, students have a second full
year of primarily statistics with some methods on top of a half course in
introductory statistics and a half course in methods. The
