  • Behavioral Science PSY-1 DRAWING an IMAGINARY
    Behavioral Science PSY-1 DRAWING AN IMAGINARY WORLD: THE EFFECTS ON SHORT-TERM MOOD IMPROVEMENT IN CHILDREN Irfa Kafayat (UG) and Jennifer Drake, Department of Psychology, Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY. Previous research has shown that drawing improves short-term mood in both adults and children when used as a form of distraction rather expression (Drake & Winner, 2012; 2013). This study examined the advantages of a distraction drawing task that calls for creation of an imaginary world vs. a non-imaginary world. When children use their imagination to create an imaginary world, their emotions are directed at the events in that imaginary world rather than ongoing, actual events (Harris, 2000). This study included 60 children between the ages of 6 and 8 (M = 7;6; SD = 0;10; 32 females). In order to induce a sad mood, I asked participants to think of a disappointing event. After the negative mood induction, I randomly assigned children: to draw a picture of a real event (a dog chasing a robber) or a picture of an imaginary event (dragon chasing a witch). With the premise that imagination and fictional events can help improve mood, I predicted that those in the imagine condition, children who drew a “dragon chasing a witch” would have a greater mood improvement than those in the real condition. Mood was measured before and after the mood induction and after drawing. Mood improvement did not differ between the two conditions, (1, 59) = 0.366, p = 0.548. However, the imaginary condition was marginally more absorbed in the activity than the real condition, F (1, 59) = 3.109, p = .083.

  • High School Partnerships
    High School Partnerships • In 2005-2006 the Brooklyn College Library trained more than 1,000 high school students in Library and information skills. • In recent years, the College has implemented a number of programs designed to help high school students achieve the academic qualifications required for college entrance. To support these programs, Library faculty have assembled services designed to meet the special needs of this population. We deliver Library instruction to students from schools such as the East New York Family Academy, Tilden, Midwood, Murrow, the Brooklyn College High School at Erasmus (also known as the Science, Technology, and Research (STAR) school), and our on-campus Brooklyn College Academy. Midwood High School juniors and seniors have borrowing privileges in the Brooklyn College Library; occasionally we allow access or borrowing privileges to students from other borough high schools. • Librarians Jocelyn Berger-Barrera, Martha Corpus, Beth Evans, and Irwin Weintraub present workshops in print and online resources targeted to high school curricula. Popular e-resources that support these students are MAS-Ultra and InfoTrac Junior (both geared to high school pupils), Lexis-Nexis Academic (for newspapers), and Academic Search Premier. Jane Cramer offers workshops covering the uses of microfilm, periodicals, and government documents. Honora Raphael introduces students to music resources, and the New Media Center’s Harold Wilson provides an overview of technology and software. • Science librarian Irwin Weintraub participates annually in Brooklyn College High School Chemistry Day, an event hosted by the College’s Chemistry faculty which attracts hundreds of science students. Professor Weintraub holds six workshops throughout the day, covering both online and print chemistry resources.

  • The NYPD: Spies, Spooks and Lies
    One Police Plaza Leonard Levitt's latest book, NYPD Confidential: Power and Corruption in the Country's Greatest Police Force, is available in stores and online. Click here to order. The NYPD: Spies, Spooks and Lies September5, 2011 The New York City Police Department has been spying on hundreds of Muslim mosques, schools, businesses, student groups, non-governmental organizations and individuals, NYPD Confidential has learned. The spying operation has targeted virtually every level of Muslim life in New York City, according to a trove of pages of Intelligence Division documents obtained by NYPD Confidential. The documents do not specify whether the police have evidence or solid suspicions of criminality to justify their watching the Muslim groups. The breadth and scope of the surveillance described in the documents suggest that the police have been painting with a broad brush and may have targeted subjects without specific tips about wrongdoing. The NYPD's spying operation has compiled information on 250 mosques, 12 Islamic schools, 31 Muslim student associations, 263 places it calls "ethnic hotspots," such as businesses and restaurants, as well as 138 "persons of interest," according to the Intel documents. Police have singled out 53 mosques, four Islamic schools and seven Muslim student associations as institutions of "concern." They have also labeled 42 individuals as top tier "persons of interest." At least 32 mosques have been infiltrated by either undercover officers, informants, or both, according to documents, which are dated between 2003 and 2006 and marked "secret." The NYPD has also been monitoring Muslim student associations at seven local colleges: City, Baruch, Hunter, Queens, LaGuardia, St.
