To the below question, I received 15 answers.  I obtained the
directory of PsycGrad (thanks Matthew Simpson) which added an almost
disjoint 22 further persons for a total of 37 (including me).  The
below represent a certain amount of ideocentrism and the catagorizations
should be taken as crude at best.

I stated that women seem under represented in my program compared
to their base rate in undergrad program. By a quick count, there
are 21 women and 18 men in social and I/O here at UIUC but the ratio
in undergrads that I teach (Res. Methods) is more like two women
to each man.  I know several women who have pursued masters in
related fields, so maybe that accounts for my observation.  Actually,
UIUC was the best represented (perhaps they were more likely to
read my strangely titled message?) and they were all women and they
were all strangers to me, so I wonder if other programs have a more
representative distribution.  The Clinical program here, which is
more selective (I hear), seems to have more women :)

I'm not convinced that you need to take the medical model view of things to
postulate underlying antecedents to behaviour, and yes I'm sure that there
are some things that behaviour modification deals with very well but I still
question whether it can get at the precedents that motivate some behaviour.

What if the client wants to change their personality?  Or something more
than just a particular behaviour.  What if they wnat to get at what's eating
them, irrespective of how that manifests itself in behaviour?

Just as a matter of interest, I don't subscribe to any particular theory of
or practice of therapy.  I just see lots of limitations in the behaviour
modification approach.

We had a lot of in services on multi-ethnic counselling, but not on
religious.  That's a good point.  I might emphasize from personal experience
that you don't ignore less common religions, such as Bhuddism and Paganism
(which is NOT Satinism, for those who are unfamiliar).  There seems to be
a growing number of "non-traditional" religions (though many are older than
Christianity).

The org psych program here at Claremont is relatively small and underfunded.
Many of us wonder exactly how "mainstream" we are in terms of the textbooks,
articles, and other discipline-specific fare we read in classes.  Katz and
Kahn's The Social Psychology of Organizations is one of the old favorites,
I'm sure.  But what other "Bibles" of the I/O psych field are you-all reading
and what are those books which MUST BE READ if one is to consider oneself
immersed in the literature, both current and past, of the field?

Hello everyone,

Vann Scott's introduction reminded me of something I've wanted to querie
(query?) you all about for some time.  This is directed at those of you who
have completed Master's degrees and gone on to PhD programs or who have tried.
What experiences, good or bad, can you share with me concerning the transition?
Have you found it easier or harder than entering PhD programs immediately after
Bachelors?  I'm collecting information now so that I can apply in the winter
and start a PhD after finishing my masters this spring.  Have any of you had
problems with credit transfers?  How much of the PhD program are you typically
expected to go through if you already have a Master's?

Answers to these and anything else you can think of would be greatly
appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

At UOTTAWA there was no precedent set for having masters courses credited
to the Ph.D. program until my friend sat down with the program director
and had a *serious* chat.  She insisted that she get the credit.
Recommendation: talk to the program directors.

In response to the neuro people who are gradually showing their faces on
psychgrad, it's good to know you're out there.  I am in a psychology program
also specializing in Neuroscience.  One question I can raise for discussion is
whether neuroscience belongs in psychology?  I began my graduate career studying
   effects of CCK (a gut peptide also found in brain for the non-physio people
listening in) on visual cortical response.  I found the techniques far too
demanding for a master's thesis so I am now looking at competition and activity-
   dependency in neocortical development (prenatal and perinatal).  I am interes
   tedin behaviour, but at a very molecular level.  Is this psychology?  Many of
    my
fellow grad students and professors in this dept. don't seem to think so.  How
do the rest of you (both Physio and Non-Physio) feel?  Do you (physio people)
share a similar experience?

Anybody,
    As many of you have done in the past, I am just learning about this type of
 computer use.  I have been told that mainframing out to the world will help me
 in my RESEARCH.  So far, I have not been able to experience is use.
    So that you fellow researchers can be clear on what kind of help I need, I
will have to tell you a bit about where I have been and where I hope to go in m
y attempts to understand what I think is important.
    I am a disabled law enforcement officer from Arizona.  Prior to my retireme
nt, I performed my duties as required.  What bothered my almost every time I ar
rested somebody was that I could never understand why a person ended up in jail
.  I am now trying to understand that concept by looking at can probably be sum
marized into 3 areas.. #1 is what is best for the offender during and after jai
l time, #2 (working backwards) what motivated that person to become an offender
 and #3 can we create a generation of non-offenders.  I know this seems prettty
general, but I am trying to get my request out in as few words as possible.
   As the saying goes, "first things first."  To work on my goals, I am trying
to find out what tools can best fit my needs.  This letter is created on one of
 those tools.  If you had read the subject heading at the beginning, you would
have read, "Prof needs proof."  That describes my current situation.  Dr. Fred
Lillibridge, who's E-MAIL address is FLILLIBR@NMSUVM1 is requiring proof that I
have communicated with someone internationally.  For example, Canada/USA is int
ernational as Mexico/USA.  I would not want to leave any country out because my
research thoughts and questions may be found in a large country, or they may be
 answered from a small community on an island is some little known body of wate
r.  So if somebody who qualifies as "international" (from the USA), would you s
end a note to Dr. Lillibridge and inform him that I succeeded in communicating
with you?  I sure would appreciate it.
  To those of you who are interested in my topic, I want to clarify what I thin
k is one area related to the development of a criminal.  That is how that perso
n relates his/her self-worth.  If you have found that in early childhood, the c
hild is compared to others, does that child develop a failure complex, internal
ly thinking they cannot do what others do so therefore are a failure in the gen
eral sense?  Another question that can be asked is, does the success of crimina
l activity, prove to that person that he/she too is successful?
   The questions can go on for a long time, but a letter is only a letter, so I
 will keep it as such.  Thanks for all your interest.

1. Psychology is the study of behavior.
     2. Behavior is the result of brain function.
     3. Brain function is the result of neural
activity and organ-

     4. Neuroscience is the study of neural activity
and organiza-

     Therefore: Psychology = Neuroscience.

How 'bout developmental neuropsychology?  I'm stuck half-way between the
rat folks (many of whom are my closest friends), and the Special Ed.
policy types, who are concerned with Head Start and the like (a very
noble cause -- don't get me wrong).  I find, for instance, that most
of the School Psychologists around here talk a lot about dyslexia,
but when pressed, voice little interest in the underlying etiology.
And, no, that's not meant as a flame to school psychologists.  Many
of them, too, are my closest friends.

The folks in Child Development like to talk about at-risk kids, but
often cringe at the suggestion of genetic and or physiological pre-
dispositions to poor impulse control, or difficult temperament.  I
suppose that since intellectual debate is frowned upon, that
federal funding for (heaven forbid) *research* in this domain is
definately a no, no.

Oh, well, guess I'll have to settle on curling up with the old standbys
-- namely a few good books by the likes of Gray, Rutter, and Kagan.
Yeah, who needs social contact, anyway?

Hello Everyone!
My name is Vann Scott.  I'm working on my M.A. at Georgia Southern University.
I'm in my second year here and I really enjoy the program.  My interests
include detection of deception, nonverbal communication, and social cognition.
After, I finish up here, I hope to go on for a Ph.D. in social psychology.
One of my faculty members pointed out the Psychgrad Project to me.  I look
forward to some interesting discussions on many different issues, especially
those in the social area!

It's nice to be on the list!
