Assessing Propensity and Satisfaction as Predictors of Trust in Teamwork
My name is Nicole Thompson from Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University and I presented my research at the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington, DC. The current study examines individuals’ propensities to and satisfactions in trust decisions when engaged in teamwork across multiple performance cycles. Findings showed satisfaction captured more variance in trust than propensity across all cycles. Poster Session II - Board: II- 076 Friday, May 27, 2011, 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM Columbia Hall Nicole J.

Undergraduate Psychology Courses Preferred by Graduate Programs
My name is Timothy Lawson from College of Mount St. Joseph and I presented my research at the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington, DC. To obtain recent information useful for advising and curriculum planning, we examined the undergraduate course preferences of all U.S. psychology graduate programs. PsyD programs’ preferences were more likely than PhD programs to reflect national undergraduate curriculum guidelines. Important differences also emerged among various subdisciplines (e.g., clinical/counseling versus educational/school).

Do Graduate Students Really Think Straight About Weird Things?
I'm Sean Hughes from the National University of Ireland, Maynooth and I presented my research at the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington, DC. Students come to the study of psychology equipped with a range of misconceptions. Unless they are directly targeted for correction, students often leave with many of these erroneous beliefs intact. We tested 550 graduate psychology students to see if they could distinguish psychological fact from fiction.

Self-Explanation of an Answer Choice Is Beneficial to Student Performance
My name isDarcey N. Powell from West Virginia Universityand I presented my research at the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington DC. Requiring students to explain their answers to multiple-choice homework questions improved their performance on the assignment, suggesting that these explanations facilitate a deeper understanding of the concepts. Female students scored higher than male students, but explanations were only associated with significantly higher scores for the male students.
