Do You Have Something to Say? There is no substitute for a good idea You also need compelling data and a clear take-home message Bem (1995) wrote that an article: “tells a straightforward tale of a circumscribed question in want of an answer. It is not a novel with subplots and flashbacks but a short story with a single, linear narrative line.” OK, I Have Something to Say—Now What? Get a pre-review From yourself (learn to role play) From colleagues (remember that they are almost always right) Neatness counts Did you check spelling and grammar? Did you follow APA style? Sending Out the Article Pick the right journal Remember that editors differ—they are people not machines. American Psychologist has annual information on APA journals ISI has citation counts Write a good cover letter Blind review? Set your expectations for review appropriately Varieties of the Rejection Experience When is rejection not rejection? Any time revision is invited. Do not procrastinate about revision What if you disagree with the reviewers? Say so, but politely. Which is Right? (from Bem, 1995) I have left the section on the animal studies unchanged. If Reviewers A and C can’t even agree on whether the animal studies are relevant, I must be doing something right. You will recall that Reviewer A thought the animal studies should be described more fully, whereas Reviewer C thought they should be omitted. A biopsychologist in my department agreed with reviewer C that the animal studies are not really valid analogs of the human studies. So I have dropped them from the text but cited Snarkle’s review of them in an explanatory footnote on page 26. Advice to young writers from an old editor Robert V. Kail Purdue University Caveat emptor regarding my advice •Except for the past four months, my editorial experience is limited to developmental journals •Given the choice between stunning data and elegant theory, I’d always pick the former •My comments apply to empirical pieces that would be submitted to a specialty journal •My advice assumes that you have something worth publishing! Turning a thesis/dissertation into a manuscript suitable for publication •Dissertations and manuscripts meet different needs •Signs that a manuscript originated in a dissertation –Too long, particularly the introduction –Includes marginal experiments •Write clearly –Avoid jargon (J.Williams Style: Lessons in clarity and grace) –Have others read the manuscript •Framing a study effectively –What is unknown? –Why is it important to know it? –How does your study help us to know it better? Determining authorship •APA Publication Manual: “Authorship encompasses…not only those who do the actual writing but also those who have made substantial scientific contributions [including] formulating the problem or hypothesis, structuring the experimental design, organizing and conducting the statistical analysis, interpreting the results, or writing a major portion of the paper.” •Blackwell Publishers--“Publication Ethics” •Some recommend that agreements be put in writing Strategies for submitting •Selecting a journal –Where are articles on this topic published? –What are relevant professional societies? –Read “information for contributors” –Impact factor •Submitting –Follow guidelines in “information for contributors” –Follow APA guidelines regarding cover letter The “action”or decision letter •It will not be accepted. •Read everything; the action letter is not a simple unweighted summary of reviews. •Revise and resubmit: Follow the instructions carefully. •Rejected: –Join the crowd—we all have manuscripts filed away that should be thrown away! –Appeal? Only when a review is factually incorrect and that error influenced the editorial decision –Submit elsewhere? Maybe. Why are manuscripts rejected? •Topic is not timely or interesting •Flaws in method •Data are flawed or, at least, are not compelling (weak effects). Conclusion •Being a successful scientist takes a thick skin—good journals reject the majority of submissions. •But hang in there—the rewards of discovery are immense.

  • Course Syllabus Animal Studies: an Introduction ANTH S-1625 Harvard Summer School 2016 Dr
    2016.6.10 draft Course Syllabus Animal Studies: An Introduction ANTH S-1625 Harvard Summer School 2016 Dr. Paul Waldau Course Description This course traces the history and shape of academic efforts to study nonhuman animals. Animal studies scholars explore such questions as, how do contemporary Western societies characterize the differences between humans and non-human animals? What ethical debates surround the use of animals in scientific research or the use of animals for food? How different are other cultures’ views of nonhuman animals from the views that now prevail in the United States and other early twenty-first century industrialized societies? What assumptions in educational systems have fostered the study of nonhuman animals, and what assumptions of specific educational systems have hampered such study? Class sessions are discussion-based, and students undertake group work, significant writing, and an individual presentation. In addition, note carefully each of the Learning Objectives listed below. We will discuss these objectives regularly through significant writing, group-based discussion and individual presentations that explore the interdisciplinary implications of weaving together the humanities with sciences (both social and natural). There are no prerequisites for this course. Required Readings and Course Materials • Waldau, Paul 2013. Animal Studies: An Introduction.

  • Psychological Correlates of University Students' Academic Performance: A
    Psychological Bulletin © 2012 American Psychological Association 2012, Vol. 138, No. 2, 353–387 0033-2909/12/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0026838 Psychological Correlates of University Students’ Academic Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Michelle Richardson Charles Abraham University College London University of Exeter Rod Bond University of Sussex A review of 13 years of research into antecedents of university students’ grade point average (GPA) scores generated the following: a comprehensive, conceptual map of known correlates of tertiary GPA; assessment of the magnitude of average, weighted correlations with GPA; and tests of multivariate models of GPA correlates within and across research domains. A systematic search of PsycINFO and Web of Knowledge databases between 1997 and 2010 identified 7,167 English-language articles yielding 241 data sets, which reported on 50 conceptually distinct correlates of GPA, including 3 demographic factors and 5 traditional measures of cognitive capacity or prior academic performance. In addition, 42 non-intellective constructs were identified from 5 conceptually overlapping but distinct research do- mains: (a) personality traits, (b) motivational factors, (c) self-regulatory learning strategies, (d) students’ approaches to learning, and (e) psychosocial contextual influences. We retrieved 1,105 independent correlations and analyzed data using hypothesis-driven, random-effects meta-analyses. Significant aver- age, weighted correlations were found for 41 of 50 measures. Univariate analyses revealed that demographic and psychosocial contextual factors generated, at best, small correlations with GPA. Medium-sized correlations were observed for high school GPA, SAT, ACT, and A level scores. Three non-intellective constructs also showed medium-sized correlations with GPA: academic self-efficacy, grade goal, and effort regulation.

  • On Transfer of Sámi Traditional Knowledge: Scientification, Traditionalization, Secrecy, and Equality*
    On Transfer of Sámi Traditional Knowledge: Scientification, Traditionalization, Secrecy, and Equality* Elina Helander-Renvall and Inkeri Markkula Introduction The aim of this chapter is to elaborate how Sámi traditional knowledge is ar- ticulated and transferred, especially as part of research activities. As a starting point, we will discuss traditional knowledge and its various understandings. Further on, we will trace and address some of the concerns that Sámi have in relation to how their reality is researched and described. Special attention will be paid to the secrecy surrounding some Sámi traditions and some knowl- edge in the context of conducting research on such issues; the scientifijication of Sámi knowledge; the traditionalization (actualization) of various traditions; and the need for equality between scientifijic and traditional knowledge. Traditional knowledge ( TK) has many defijinitions. Traditional knowledge may be defijined as knowledge that has a long historical and cultural continu- ity, having been passed down through generations, as Berkes has noted.1 In the book on traditional knowledge by Porsanger and Guttorm2 the concept árbediehtu (inherited knowledge, a Northern Sámi word) is used to refer to Sámi knowledge. They state that árbediehtu is ‘the collective wisdom and skills of the Sámi people used to enhance their livelihood for centuries. It has been * We would like to thank Regional Council of Lapland, European Regional Development Fund, and University of Lapland for the fijinancial support for the project Traditional Eco- logical Knowledge in the Sami Homeland Region of Finland which was conducted at the Arctic Centre, Rovaniemi during 1.1.2014-30.4.2015. The general aim of this project was to promote the status of Sami traditional ecological knowledge through support to the Sami craftswomen.

  • Anthrozoology and Sharks, Looking at How Human-Shark Interactions Have Shaped Human Life Over Time
    Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2020 Committee: Marc L. Miller, Chair Vincent F. Gallucci Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Marine and Environmental Affairs © Copywrite 2020 Jessica O’Toole 2 University of Washington Abstract Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs Anthrozoology is a relatively new field of study in the world of academia. This discipline, which includes researchers ranging from social studies to natural sciences, examines human-animal interactions. Understanding what affect these interactions have on a person’s perception of a species could be used to create better conservation strategies and policies. This thesis uses a mixed qualitative methodology to examine the public perception of great white sharks on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While the area has a history of shark interactions, a shark related death in 2018 forced many people to re-evaluate how they view sharks. Not only did people express both positive and negative perceptions of the animals but they also discussed how the attack caused them to change their behavior in and around the ocean. Residents also acknowledged that the sharks were not the only problem living in the ocean. They often blame seals for the shark attacks, while also claiming they are a threat to the fishing industry.

  • Early Psychological Laboratories [1] James Mckeen Cattell (1928)
    Early Psychological Laboratories [1] James McKeen Cattell (1928) Classics in the History of Psychology An internet resource developed by Christopher D. Green York University, Toronto, Ontario ISSN 1492-3173 Early Psychological Laboratories [1] James McKeen Cattell (1928) First published in Science, 67, 543- 548. Posted August 2000 Laboratories for research and teaching in the sciences are of comparatively recent origin. They may be regarded as part of the industrial revolution, for there is a close parallel in causes and effects between the development of the factory system and of scientific laboratories. The industrial revolution began with the exploitation by machinery of coal and iron in England; it may perhaps be dated from the use of the steam engine of Watts in the coal mines of Cornwall about a hundred and fifty years ago. The laboratory had its origin fifty years later in Germany as part of the scientific renaissance following the Napoleonic wars. The University of Berlin was founded by Wilhelm von Humboldt and Frederich William III in 1810. The first laboratory of chemistry was opened by Justus von Liebig at Giessen in 1824. This was followed by similar laboratories at Göttingen under Wöhler in 1836, at Marburg under Bunsen in 1840, and at Leipzig under Erdmann in 1843. The first English laboratory was the College of Chemistry, now part of the Imperial College of Science and Technology of the University of London, which was opened in 1845 by von Hoffmann, brought from Germany by Prince Albert. Benjamin Silliman founded at Yale University the first American laboratory for the teaching of chemistry.

Other scholars suggest that the “discipline” is a couple of decades old (DeMello 2012).

  • Illusion and Well-Being: a Social Psychological Perspective on Mental Health
    Psyehologlcal Bulletin Copyright 1988 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 1988, Vol. 103, No. 2, 193-210 0033-2909/88/$00.75 Illusion and Well-Being: A Social Psychological Perspective on Mental Health Shelley E. Taylor Jonathon D. Brown University of California, Los Angeles Southern Methodist University Many prominenttheorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive self- evaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are characteris- tic of normal human thought. Moreover, these illusions appear to promote other criteria of mental health, including the ability to care about others, the ability to be happy or contented, and the ability to engage in productive and creative work. These strategies may succeed, in large part, because both the social world and cognitive-processingmechanisms impose filters on incoming information that distort it in a positive direction; negativeinformation may be isolated and represented in as unthreat- ening a manner as possible. These positive illusions may be especially useful when an individual receives negative feedback or is otherwise threatened and may be especially adaptive under these circumstances. Decades of psychological wisdom have established contact dox: How can positive misperceptions of one's self and the envi- with reality as a hallmark of mental health.

In this Self-Study, we will attempt to clearly lay out where we have been, where we are now, and where we hope to be as a result of this reflection. In Spring 2015, in response to pressure from the Interim Dean of the College of Liberal and Creative Arts, the Liberal Studies program merged with the Humanities department, becoming what is now called the School of Humanities and Liberal Studies (HUMLS). The School offers three majors (Humanities, Liberal Studies, American Studies), four minors (Humanities, American Studies, California Studies and Comics Studies), and one MA program (Humanities).
