I also would like to extend a warm welcome to our international colleagues who have made the long journey to the U.S. to attend this conference. Special thanks to the Chair, Wilson Palacios, and members of the Program Committee for their commitment and dedication to the task of organizing the conference. I am indebted to the members of the ACJS 2009-2010 Executive Board, ACJS Executive Director, Mittie Southerland, and ACJS Manager, Cathy Barth, for their support during this past year. They helped to make my experience as President very rewarding. I am also grateful to the local arrangement team which organized a number of activities for the conference. The Program Committee has done an outstanding job in planning this conference; and the members have created a number of great sessions, activities, and networking opportunities. In keeping with the theme of the conference, Beyond Our Boundaries: The Inclusivity of Criminal Justice Sciences, the program lists over 450 events, including panels, roundtables, workshops, the research showcase and pictorial session, and various meetings. Virtually every room in the convention center has been scheduled for the ACJS conference. Highlights A pre-conference workshop entitled “Criminal Justice Program Evaluation: An Introductory Overview to Evidence- Based Accountability and Performance Assessment” will be held on Tuesday, February 23, beginning at 4:00 p.m. A new section, the Victimology Section, will be formally recognized at our 2010 ACJS Annual Meeting. This latest addition makes the ACJS home to 11 sections. The keynote speaker for the conference is Nontombi Naomi Tutu whose presentation is entitled Beyond our Boundaries: South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Model of Restorative Justice. Her presentation will take place on Thursday, February 25, 2010, from 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Ms. Tutu holds a master’s degree in international economic development from the University of Kentucky and an honorary doctorate from Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts. She is a consultant for the Spiritual Alliance to Stop Intimate Violence (SAIV). A tour of the San Diego State University Visualization Laboratory (VIZ Lab), a research lab associated with San Diego State University Graduate Program in Homeland Security, is scheduled for Thursday, February 25, beginning at 1:00 PM. On Friday morning, February 26, the Research and Pictorial Showcase and Brunch will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 12 p.m. Unlike the fast pace of a panel session, the showcase will allow presenters to discuss their work individually with participants and answer questions in a more informal setting. This session also provides a venue for networking, exchanging innovative ideas, and obtaining useful feedback. I encourage you to attend. As part of the conference activities, ACJS will host an Awards Ceremony and Reception on Friday night, February 26, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This event recognizes our members for their excellence in scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and service. It also provides an opportunity for socializing. This ACJS Annual Meeting offers a warm and friendly atmosphere for all participants. The diversity of colleagues will undoubtedly lead to new friendships, professional inspiration, and connections for the future. With the natural beauty and unique charm of San Diego, I hope that you will have a stimulating and memorable conference. Finally, I would like to thank the members of ACJS for their support and encouragement. It has been truly an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to serve as President. Have a pleasant stay in San Diego and thanks for participating in the conference. Sincerely, Janice Joseph President, ACJS PROGRAM CHAIR’S MESSAGE On behalf of President Janice Joseph and all of the members of the ACJS 2010 Program Committee, Bienvenidos (Welcome) to San Diego! The theme for this year’s conference, “Beyond Our Boundaries: The Inclusivity of Criminal Justice Sciences,” is reflective in the nearly 500 events scheduled over the next four days. I encourage you to review the program and take note of the diverse array of assembled research panels, workshops, and roundtables that you, the membership of ACJS, submitted and that has led to one of the most thematically eclectic programs to date. Overall, this year’s program reflects both national and international collaborative efforts in “cutting-edge” research and innovative pedagogical practices which surely you will find enriching, instructional, and perhaps even inspiring. To all our participants, you are encouraged to take this opportunity to network with the finest scholars in the field, reconnect with former professors and/or students and colleagues, and forge new professional connections. To this end, you will find the accommodations provided by the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center most conducive to a rewarding conference experience. In keeping with our program’s theme, the Research and Pictorial Showcase offers over 100 progressive and interactive presentations, carefully assembled by Jeffrey Scott McIllwain (San Diego State University) and Paul Kaplan (San Diego State University). As in the past, no other events have been scheduled during this time and a “top-self” brunch will be available to all participants and attendees. Furthermore, the Local Arrangement committee, Stuart Henry, Dana Nurge, Paul Kaplan, and Paul Sutton (San Diego State University), are facilitating a tour of the San Diego State University Visualization Laboratory (VIZ Lab): “Science, Technology, and the Visualization of Criminal Justice, Disaster Response, and Homeland Security.” VIZ Lab, the research lab associated with SDSU’s Graduate Program in Homeland Security, is a global leader in applying scientific, technological, and policy research and analysis to real-world, real-time challenges on the local, state, national, and international levels via data collection, management, analysis, sensors, data fusion, visualization, communication, and decision support for Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief (HADR) and homeland security applications. The tour will be led by SDSU’s Dr. Jeffrey McIllwain and Dr. Eric Frost. In addition, the SDSU Team provided a cadre of student workers in order to ensure your participation in this year’s program would be one to remember. As your Program Chair, I must say I have been humbled by both the process and the people I was fortunate enough to have worked with during this past year. First, the ACJS Association Manager, Ms. Cathy Barth, whose commitment in ensuring that each and every program participant and attendee have a positive experience while attending is just herculean and her level of energy is to be admired; a very sincere thank you “Miss Hannigan”. Second, Mittie Southerland, ACJS Executive Director, was never more than an email away and somehow always knew when to provide the needed “pep” talk. Third, the members of the Program Committee are the ones who did the yeoman’s work in organizing the program materials and networking with members in order to ensure that each had an opportunity to participate in this conference. I thank each Program Committee member for their commitment to ACJS and their collegiality. Fourth, words are simply not available which convey my sincerest admiration and respect for the passion, leadership, and work ethic I witnessed in President Janice Joseph during my 18-month collaboration. It was honor having served as her Program Chair. Fifth and in true “Murphy Law’s” tradition, as we met in late October to review and, by hand, assemble the program you see before you, it became very apparent that certain items still needed to be resolved and it was because of the collective effort and patience of President Joseph, Mittie, Cathy, Leanne Alarid (Deputy Program Chair), and Barb Sims that the program actually came together. Sixth, my graduate assistant, Mr.

Existing evidence suggests that infrahumanization of patients may reduce stress related to caring for those who are dying. Extending Terror Management Theory and infrahumanization research, the present research examined the effect of mortality salience and aging salience on perceptions of unique humanness attributed to an older adult relative to other nurses. Nursing majors at a university (n = 96) and adults with a background in nursing (n = 95) were asked to write about their own death, someone they know who has experienced decline and challenges during old age, or dental pain (control). They then rated themselves, other nurses, and an older adult on uniquely human traits, uniquely human emotions, and compassion.

  • Mortality Salience Effects Fail to Replicate in Traditional and Novel Measures
    Revised version of manuscript under review at Meta-Psychology. See full editorial process here: http://tinyurl.com/mp-submissions Participate in open peer review by commenting on this preprint in https://hypothes.is Mortality salience effects fail to replicate in traditional and novel measures Bjørn Sætrevik 1 & Hallgeir Sjåstad 2, 3 1: Operational psychology research group, Department for psychosocial science, Faculty of Psychology, University of Bergen 2: SNF - Centre for Applied Research at NHH 3: Department of Strategy and Management, Norwegian School of Economics Abstract Mortality salience (MS) effects, where death reminders lead to ingroup-bias and defensive protection of one’s worldview, have been claimed to be a fundamental human motivator. MS phenomena have ostensibly been identified in several hundred studies within the “terror management theory” framework, but transparent and high-powered replications are lacking. We performed an Experiment 1 (N = 101 Norwegian lab participants) to replicate the traditional MS effect on national patriotism, with additional novel measures of democratic values and pro-sociality. Experiment 2 (N = 784 US online participants) aimed to replicate the MS effect on national patriotism in a larger sample, with ingroup identification and pro-sociality as additional outcome measures. The results showed that neither experiment replicated the traditional MS effect on national patriotism. The experiments also failed to support conceptual replications and underlying mechanisms on different democratic values,

  • Death and Presentation: How Mortality Salience and Framing Affects Attitudes Toward Welfare Recipients
    Death and Presentation: How Mortality Salience and Framing Affects Attitudes Toward Welfare Recipients SARAH C. GUTHRIE Communicated by: Dr. Catherine Borshuk Department of Psychology ABSTRACT One hundred-five introductory psychology students were included in this study to determine whether death awareness and presentation of information would affect attitudes toward out-groups. The mortality salience hypothesis states that people will be more likely to hold negative attitudes toward out-groups when their existing beliefs are not supported and when mortality becomes salient. The results supported this hypothesis, suggesting that out-groups can alter people's attitudes accord­ ing to existing beliefs. Compared to personal causes for people on welfare assistance, social causes did not show significantly different effects, nor were there any interaction effects between mortality salience and framing. The Interpersonal Judgment Scale was used to measure attitudes toward dis­ similar others on two items: emotional liking and readiness to cooperate in a study with an out-group member.
