Margaret:  Monika is right, there are more of "us" out here.  I have
simply been turned off by most of the discusssions that take place on
PSYCGRAD, but I try to read up regularly.  I will also hopefully be
earning a PhD in psychology with a specialization in physiological.  A
discussion regarding any area of neuroscience would be great, and I

I am thinking about attending the November conference on MPD which is
to take place at the Drake Hotel November 11-15, 1992.

Is there anyone else on this list who is thinking of attending? And
who might be interested in sharing a room with a quiet, non-drinking
non-smoking colleague?

Or is there anyone on the list who lives in Chicago and who would be
willing to e-mail with me to tell me more about alternative
accommodations. The Drake Hotel is rather steep $119 per night for a
single room.

I would be needing accommodations for Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights.

Oh, and I could tell you all about the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Thanks, friends!

Might I ask the brain researchers out there what good it does to
identify what areas of the brain are activated when a person is
reading, when we understand so little about what reading even is?

I have nothing against this type of work, and worked as a
undergrad in the lab of one of the finest in the field (Bryan
Kolb or Ian Wishaw), but I feel that there is a long way to go in
understanding what the software is that runs the whole system
before needing to know all about the hardware.

I try to keep up with what is going on in the neuropsychological
field, because some of the limitations of cognitive processes
will be the hardware component.

When did you get into this, Dave?  If you're hooking into some of this stuff,
we should talk about collaborating long distance if at all possible.  Anyway,
with regards to attributional style, there are two that I know of (both of
which, unfortunately, have serious methodological problems).

Kamen, Rodin, Dwyer and Seligman found differences in lymphocyte proliferation
response to PHA mitogen and differences in helper/suppressor ratios as well
based on optimism/pessimism.
(I think it's 1991 [or, alternatively, 1988])

Kamen-Siegel (previously Kamen) also used a delayed hypersensitivity measure
and found suppressed responses in pessimistic college-aged males.

As far as attributional style interacting with life stress (what you really
asked about), nothing is published yet, though I'm in the midst of a
short-term longitudinal study using subjective failure on a midterm as the
"stressor" (similar to the Metalsky, Halberstadt, Abramson, 1987 paper using
depression as the DV).

Which Brown and Harris measure are you using?  Who's the PI?  I'm about to
submit a commentary on methodological issues in this area and would be in-
terested in hearing about the design...

Elizabeth's definition is a good one.  The one I was going to use is
basically the same; social cognition is a special type of cognitive
psychology that deals with the ways people think about others and about
the social aspects of one's environment.  Social cog differs from
cognitive psych. in that cognitive psych focuses on objects and numbers,
words and the like.  Social cognition is more interactive (i.e. your
behaviors influence how I think of you, while at the same time my behavior
influences your perception of me).  You can think of social cognition
as a somewhat global term that houses many sub-topics, like attitude and
stereotype formation, beliefs, social perception...the list goes on.

I am still very much a novice in this area, so if anyone cares to elaborate
please do so.  There is a nice review of the literature on social cognition
in the 1991 Annual Review of Psychology, if you are interested.

Hi Julie!  Sorry for the confusion.  Here in Canada there are the various
levels of professorship: assistant, associate, and full professor (also
after many years of work or if you're extremely brillant, I think) as well
as the term lecturer which comes before assistant.  So, no, we don't have
a different meaning but I just call everybody a prof (except lecturers)
regardless of their level.  Do you have to be that specific when you
refer to a "prof"?

Dear Dr. Morgan,

ask you a few questions. First, how did you find out about the
various "boards" and services that you use? I am a post-doc here at

generally interested in neuroscience, neuropharmacology, and
behavior. For this reason, I would like to correspond with other
scientists who share these interests, and to participate in on-line
discussions of relevant topics. Can you send me any helpful hints?
    Thanks for your time, and for your attention. Please send me a
reply at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Ernest Laurence Rossi, and later, Rossi and David Cheek do an excellent
job of present a psychobiological model of dissociative phenomena.
Basically, it all boils down to state-dependant memory, learning and
behavior (SMLB).  Physiologically, states are mediated by autonomic and
endocrine activity.  Memory and experience become state bound.  The
more a person has limited access to a given state, the more the feelings,
experience, thinking, and behavior are dissociated from everyday
consciousness.  When we are talking about MPD, hypnosis, fugue, dreams,
runners high, meditation, I think of them as forms of dissociation.
I don't think this is a new way of thinking about dissociative phenomena.

State-dependent learning seems like a good paradigm to test the
cognitive aspects of this model.  I am testing the psychotherapeutic
implications of it in psychotherapy with my clients.  I like the
model when I am doing behavioral medicine.  It helps me accomplish
what I want to do in therapy, have the client gain access and influence
over previously uncontrollable experience, behavior, and feeling.

Or, Oh I'm sorry, David.  Did you want the susceptibility to dissociation
point of view?

Huh? Did I miss something? Who has put down neuroscience people? If
anything this whole discussion started out of a complaint about too
many social/clinical people or posts in this group and not enough
stuff on neuroscience. I don't think anyone is attempting to put down
the neuroscience researchers.

  Ok , you guys, you have mentioned many of the books I have referenced
in the past (or have been told to and skipped) and so they are all
very good suggestions.

However, I am looking for a  personal list (to be forwarded to the
world) of good books with some explanation, but lots of COMPUTER
examples.  I have one, for instance, with program code for SAS and
SPSSx, but never of the same technique in both.  So, I can do, for
example, multivar contrasts in SAS, but I only have program code
for dummy-variable coding in SPSS (useless technique, good example).
 You see?  And this is more than most books!

 As a grad, we don't have time to sit around figuring out how to make th
e package use the error term from the big model, or how to set up
contrasts in some oddball syntax.  SAS and SPSS manuals are not for
humans, only experienced stat gods wiht lots of time.  Systat is a bit
better, but give a very non standard ouput (you estimate the model, then
choose an effect, then re-run everything...  If you forget to do one
step, you get 3 pages of junk...)

  So, hit me or the list with your recc of a good, grad level stats
book with computer help.  The more recent, the better, but your
call.  Mainframe or micro, Mac or pc...

  I will compile and send to either the list or an editor....

  Thanks, and remember, a thesis is only a big, big book report...

Hi everybody!  I've been "listening" in on the list for quite some time
now - I haven't contributed because I don't feel that I can contribute
all that much since I'm a 'psyc grad wannabe'.  I love your discussions
though and usually end up talking to other students and profs about the
latest topics.  I'm really surprised that there are not alot of people
here at Saint Mary's (Halifax, Nova Scotia) that know of this list.
Anyways, from my discussions I have promised to pass on a request to you stats
gurus from a brand new prof here - do any of you know a good intro textbook
for LISREL for 1st year Masters level students?  (If any of you can help out,
just mail me back and I'll pass on your information.  Thanks.)

Before I go, I'll just introduce myself briefly. I'm doing my honours thesis
this year and am applying to grad schools for next fall.  I won't have the
traditional honours B.A. in psyc when I apply because I've literally studied
all around the world (my B.A. is in German) and it's hell trying to
transfer credits from one university to the next.  I can sympathize with those
Masters-level students applying to PhD programs and having to retake the same
courses!  You might ask then why didn't I just save myself all the hassle and
stay at one place.  Well, I had some great opportunities that I just couldn't
pass up and then I got married and all of a sudden, there two people's
educational goals to consider.  So now I'm at SMU and I'm working on this
fantastic research project with a great prof here - she's doing a 3-year
longitudinal study on the differential experiences that siblings have with
regards to their relationships with peers, parents, and themselves and how
that relates to their academic and social development.  (Actually Eric,
I wonder if you know her - her name is Heather Chipuer and she just graduated
from Penn State in 1991?)  Anyways, I'm looking at phd programs that
integrate cross-cultural psyc. and clinical psyc. programs across Canada
and the States. I know that seems a strange combination - wish me luck in
applying! Keep up the great talks - it's really inspiring.

Til next time,
