INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ADVISING FOR FALL 1996

Don't forget to be advised for your Fall 1996 classes. Advising begins Monday, April 29, and ends Friday, May 10. For individual advising, sign up on the sheet posted on your faculty advisor's office door. Faculty who will be doing individual advising of Psychology majors are Drs. David Cohen, Jess Deegan, Karen Hartlep, Carol Raupp, and Luis Vega.

Drs. Beth Rienzi and Luis Vega will offer group rather than individual advising this quarter. These sessions will largely replace their usual individual advising sessions. Check their office door for the times and locations set aside for group advising and sign the sheet on their doors for the session you want to attend.

COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIES

This is the second year that CSUB will sponsor separate commencement ceremonies for the Schools of Arts & Sciences, Education, and Business and Public Administration. The Arts & Sciences ceremony begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 8 in the Amphitheater. Graduates should begin lining up at the field adjacent to the tennis courts by 7:00 a.m. The Psychology Club has great plans for a post-graduation reception for all of our graduates and their guests. Plan to attend the reception in the Cafeteria/ Stockdale Room immediately following the graduation ceremonies.

OUTSTANDING SENIOR AWARDS

The faculty of the Department of Psychology are privileged to recognize two of our outstanding graduating seniors, Tara Beasley DeLouth and Lori Amster. In a year marked by a number of exceptional candidates, Tara and Lori were judged the best of the best, and they will be recognized at the Honors Brunch and highlighted in Colloquy.

Tara Beasley DeLouth, a CSUB Merit Scholar, will graduate from CSUB in four years despite more family responsibilities and work demands than many of us could survive. Tara carries herself with such poise and grace that it is difficult to believe that she will still be 20 when she graduates! Her research has led to two publications in Psychological Reports. Her paper on the psychopathic personality was nominated for the Graduating Senior Paper Award for the Behavioral Sciences, and she has been a speaker at numerous community, campus, and psychology events. In addition, she recently received a highly coveted Honors Internship with the FBI. As a future forensic psychologist, Tara's future looks bright.

Once Lori Amster decided to return to college as a "re-entry" student, she returned with a vengeance. Since coming to CSUB she has received nothing but "A" grades while majoring in Psychology and minoring in Applied Statistics. Lori has made a significant impact on our department as a teaching assistant for Dr. Jess Deegan's classes, a position she has held on three different occasions. Her paper entitled "Exogenously Administered Melatonin: A Panacea or 'Much Ado About Nothing'" was nominated for the Graduating Senior Paper Award for the Behavioral Sciences. She has assisted Dr. Steve Bacon with his research on self-help treatment sources, and she will assist Dr. Deegan in analyzing data from an earlier research project. Lori also is Vice-President of Psi Chi and an active member of the Psych Club. She plans to continue her education in a Ph.D. program in Quantitative Psychology.

We congratulate both of these fine individuals.

PLAGIARISM

An article in the last issue of The Psych-Out explored the concept of ethics in psychology. A significant aspect of ethical behavior for college students involves plagiarism, a frequently misunderstood concept. Plagiarism is academic dishonesty, one type of cheating. It is unethical and illegal. Faculty cannot plagiarize when they publish or present research, professionals cannot plagiarize when they prepare documents, and students cannot plagiarize when they write papers for school or research reports. Plagiarism includes

1. presenting someone else's ideas or data as if they were your own

2. using someone else's language without quotation marks and citation

3. paraphrasing by borrowing someone else's grammatical structure or phrases

4. handing in someone else's work as if it were your own

5. submitting identical or highly similar papers to multiple courses without instructor knowledge and approval (even if you wrote the papers)

Notice that the definitions of plagiarism do not specify intentionality. If you plagiarize, even as an honest mistake, it is still plagiarism. To avoid plagiarism:

1. Always cite the reference when presenting someone else's ideas or data, e.g., Garcia (1985) concluded that systematic desensitization is effective for treating phobias. You don't have to cite a reference for statements of well-known facts, such as Sigmund Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis .

2. Always use quotation marks when using someone else's language and provide pages from the source, e.g., "Intelligent people have messy desks" (Smith, 1985, p. 132) orSmith (1985) concluded that "intelligent people have messy desks" (p. 132).

3. Avoid plagiarizing someone's grammatical structure when you paraphrase by setting the original source aside and rewriting the concepts in your own words, e.g., The desks of intelligent people tend to be disorganized (Smith, 1985). Notice that the paraphrased language does not borrow the grammatical structure of the original passage. Imagine describing the idea to someone else in your own words, then use this language in your paper.

4. When taking notes for a paper, be careful to put quotation marks around quoted passages and to paraphrase without borrowing the grammatical structure of the original passage. Then, when you write your final paper, you'll not inadvertently introduce plagiarized language.

5. Do your own work. Don't hand in someone else's paper.

6. Write separate papers for each course. If you want to do a paper for more than one course, obtain the permission of all instructors before you submit the papers.

If you are uncertain about what constitutes plagiarism, just ask one of your instructors. You may also consult a more complete version of this document which is posted on the "Student Information" bulletin board in the DDH "D" hallway.

PSI CHI HOSTS FIRST RESEARCH CONFERENCE AT CSUB

They said it couldn't be done! Our first-ever CSUB psychology research conference on March 10 succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. One of the many highlights was the presentation by a speaker of international renown, Dr. Diane Halpern of CSU, San Bernadino. Dr. Halpern's talk was on "States of Mind: American and Post Soviet Perspectives on Contemporary Issues in Psychology."

Graduate student Isabel Sumaya-Smith was the driving force behind the conference. CSUB psychology undergraduates presented a total of 17 posters describing research ranging from Social Psychology to Biological Psychology. All posters were expertly displayed, and the researchers were impressive in their ability to field questions about their projects. Faculty members Steve Suter, Richard Noel, and Beth Rienzi had the near-impossible task of determining the best research presentation. After inspecting all the posters and talking with the researchers, they chose a paper by Holly McQuillan, Jamison Motherhead, and Sharyn Eveland to receive the $100 award for best paper. The title of their paper was "Brain Responses to Two Temporal Stimuli Presented Simultaneously Hint at Cortical Processing."

WPA HIGHLIGHTS

Despite our relatively small size, CSUB students, faculty, and alumni were prominent at this year's Western Psychology Association Convention in San Jose. Dr. Mary Allen was in charge of the Terman Teaching Conference, held on Wednesday, April 10, which was attended by teachers from the high school to the university level. We were entertained and enlightened by one of the most gifted speakers to ever grace a podium -- Dr. Brian Little of Carleton University, Canada. He made the topic of introversion-extroversion so entertaining that the audience was laughing every five to ten seconds for the duration of his speech. His message also was an important one -- that faculty should recognize and respect students with different styles and should integrate into their teaching activities that meet the needs of students who learn in different ways. His invited presentation the next day, on personality theory, was equally entertaining and informative.

Dr. Beth Rienzi, Western Regional Vice-President of Psi Chi, presented Robert Sternberg of Yale, the creator of the triarchic theory of intelligence. Sternberg argued that we too often emphasize only the mental abilities associated with conventional IQ and achievement tests, to the detriment of those who have creativity and insight (the experiential component) or who have practical ability or "street smarts" (the contextual component). Many of our students talked with Sternberg before and after his formal presentation, and they were inspired to develop all of their intelligences.

CSUB Psychology majors who presented papers or attended include Frim Andrews, Palmira Barbosa, Laura Bishop, César Bolaños, Melanie Butler, Claudia Garcia, Nick Garcia, Angie Goon, Michele Jackson, Stacey Kalbaugh, Kevin McNeill, Will Mir, Ana Sanchez, Andrea Sierra, Isabel Sumaya-Smith, Shanna Teel, Yen Tran, Natie Ventura, Rafael Vargas, and Laura White. Several of our top alumni were also at the convention, including John Forquera, Daryl Hitchcock, and Denise Perrier. We are especially pleased that our Psi Chi chapter members, Kevin McNeill and Isabel Sumaya-Smith, each won awards at the Psi Chi poster session.

The CSUB Psi Chi Chapter, sponsored by Dr. Luis Vega, won the Chapter Idea Exchange Poster Award and a check for $50 from the Psi Chi National Council. Psi Chi appreciates Melanie Butler's fine work on this poster. Several of our CSUB students helped host the WPA/Psi Chi Hospitality Suite. Hosts included William Mir, Kevin McNeill, and Melanie Butler who all received extra time and personally signed books from Robert Sternberg. Dr. Sternberg e-mailed Dr. Rienzi after the convention to say that his meeting with our students was "the highlight of the trip."

Dr. Luis Vega sponsored several of the student papers at the convention and also treated many of the students to a tour of Stanford and to dinner at one of the area's many fine restaurants.

THE WPA EXPERIENCE -- A STUDENT'S VIEW

Andrea Sierra

The WPA Annual Convention was a refreshing, yet eventful experience that I fully enjoyed and will always remember. I learned a great deal of information about my field of interest, which is psychology, of course. But the majority of the trip was much more than just academia.

Let me start off by describing the aspects of the trip that were academic-related. Of course, there are the famous poster sessions where students have the opportunity to present their research work. The presentations were much more mellow and simple than what I had expected. I was expecting to be in a huge, convention-size room with hundreds of other presenters, with my poster being just a speck of dust among the rest. Also, I was afraid of the horror questions that would be asked by the observers walking by. Instead, each session included no more than 50 posters and the room was mid-size and cozy. As far as the questions from hell, by the end of the session I was prolonging the removal of my poster because I wanted to share my presentation with everyone!

An impressive part of the convention was the well-known, prominent psychologists who attended, many of them as speakers: Robert Sternberg (Yale University), Karen Jackson (University of Texas, national president of Psi), Leona S. Aiken (Arizona State University), Joseph Campos (University of California, Berkeley), and John H. Flavell (Stanford University), just to name a few.

Many of the non-academic aspects of the convention are also quite memorable. Our hotel, the Red Lion Hotel, in itself was an excellent reason to go out of town for this event: ten stories high, a heated pool, a Jacuzzi, a dance floor, a health club, a beautiful lobby, radio and TV in each room, full length mirrors on the closet doors (but I think Claudia and I were the only ones excited about that), and we were lucky to have a room with a balcony that overlooked the pool. We had so much fun in the hotel that one day my roommates/research partners and I forgot to have lunch!

We had a chance to visit San Jose (with plenty of us getting lost), Stanford University, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz. We had Japanese food in the funnest restaurant I've ever been in, and Chinese food in downtown San Jose where we were joined by Dr. Karen Jackson, national Psi Chi president. One of the best experiences of the trip was the time that we spent with our fellow classmates. We met psychology students from CSUB whom we had never met before. We had a great time hanging out with them along with our old time buddies, some who will be graduating and leaving us soon.

I recommend that everyone try to make it to at least one WPA convention. It will provide you with a wonderful opportunity to focus on your area of interest and to get to know your professors, fellow students, and the town you're visiting. So just a final note for you to all keep in mind: Next year's WPA Annual Convention will be in Seattle, Washington!!!

GRADUATE CORNER

Ken Ishida, Graduate Program Coordinator

The deadline for Fall admission to our graduate program has passed; congratulations to those who will soon begin their graduate careers. You should be aware that the department has recently voted to have quarterly admissions, so if you expect to graduate in the Fall you can apply for Winter Quarter admission. (Note, however, you may not be able to enroll in some courses because you will be out of the yearly sequence). For each quarter the deadline for admission is one week after the deadline for graduation application. For admission for Winter quarter 1997, the deadline is September 27, 1996; for Spring quarter 1997, the deadline is January 24, 1997; and for Fall quarter 1997, it is April 18, 1997. If you do not have a complete application (including GREs where required), your file will be deferred until the next cycle.

For those intending to apply to graduate programs that require Graduate Record Exam scores, Dr. Ken Ishida is planning to conduct a weekly summer study group for the general GRE. It will likely be on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night, starting in late June. He will distribute information (e.g., time, place, dates, and choice of study materials) via Psych Club and Psi Chi channels and notices in the DDH "D" hallway.

MOVIN' ON

Gina Watson enrolled in our classes after receiving a degree in English from UC Irvine. She has been accepted to the California School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles, and plans to become a Clinical Psychologist.

Kevin McNeill has been accepted into the Sociology Ph.D. program at the University of California, Riverside, where he will pursue an emphasis in Social Psychology and Gender Studies. Kevin, who was awarded a scholarship to attend, will be working under Dr. Scott Coltrane of the Sociology Department.

Isabel Sumaya-Smith is completing the Pre-Doctoral Emphasis of the Psychology M.A. program, and she has been accepted into the Psychology Ph.D. program at the University of Texas, El Paso.

Christy Lane has been accepted to the Adult Development and Aging Ph.D. program at USC.

Monique Haviland has been accepted to the M.A. program in Physical Therapy at the University of Colorado, Denver.

Mark Williams has been accepted to the Summer Minority Access to the Research Training (SMART) program at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The program involves ten weeks of in-depth research training under a faculty mentor and workshops to prepare for the Graduate Record Exam and their future. This is a "full-ride" award that includes travel, lodging, supplies, tuition etc. Say good-bye to your wife Mark.

VISION LAB

Like the rest of the department, the Vision Lab has been preparing for conferences. Our conference (ARVO--the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology) is on the east coast of Florida in Ft. Lauderdale. At this international conference the world of the clinician (ophthalmologist and optometrist) comes together with the world of the researcher, presenting the latest and greatest ideas to the world. At this year's conference, the Drs. Suter (Penelope and Steve) with Barbara Gragg and Michele Brown will be presenting Magno/Parvo VEPs and Fixation Disparity: Separate Predictors of Reading Disability. The main message is that there may be two subtypes of reading disability associated, respectively, with small deviations in eye alignment and with variations in visual processing indicated by particular brain electrical responses. And if the Suters were not traveling enough already, Penelope will be off to Chicago in May to give an invited talk, Visual Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury, to an organization of clinical practitioners interested in visual rehabilitation. Wow, an invited talk!

At the same conference (ARVO) Dr. Jess Deegan, Sharyn Eveland, and Denise Perrier (do you remember her? She's at Berkeley.) will be presenting Additive and Subtractive Intermodulation Components in Steady-State VEPs Have Different Response Characteristics. This work is a continuation of work presented last year at the same conference by Denise, Jess, Gina Watson and Alandra Parker AND a prequel to the award-winning work that Holly J. McQuillan, Jamison J. Motherhead, and Sharyn L. Eveland (Brain Responses to Two Temporal Stimuli Presented Simultaneously Hint at Cortical Processing) presented at the First Annual Psi Chi research convention. In all cases the question being investigated has been about how the brain processes visual information. How is it that we take this complex picture that we call the world and then knowing that it is decomposed into little spots on the retina reconstruct the information. By the way, that presentation by Holly, Jamison, and Sharyn (with the help of Rod Ussery) won the competition for best poster (partial reinforcement).

And Dr. Deegan's escapes from the confines of Bakersfield (because of the nature of the research) to experiment with animals off campus has paid off as well. At ARVO Dr. Deegan (as second author) will be presenting, with his colleague Gerald H. Jacobs (Jerry, from Santa Barbara), Maureen Nietz, and Jay Nietz (both of the Medical College of Wisconsin) work on the Presence of Routine Trichromatic Color Vision in New World Monkeys. The point of this research is that once we believed that all South American nonhuman male primates (except one species) had dichromatic color vision, but now we know that in at least one species (howler monkeys) the males have normal trichromatic color vision (like the old world primates). Go figure.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!! Vision Lab Alumni News: Brenda Bass just sent us news that she has finished her dissertation at the University of Arizona and she will soon be an Assistant Professor at the one job she applied for, at the University of Northern Iowa. FROM THE FACULTY AND ALUMNI OF VISION LAB, WE WISH BRENDA THE BEST!

PSYCH CLUB

Sharyn Eveland, President

Hey, folks!!! Hope you are having a great quarter! The Psych Club has been at it again and for all of you who missed out on the fun.....well, there's more to come! Here are some of the things we did last quarter.....

Bake Sale -- It was a roaring success, gaining a profit of $125 (WOW!). Thank you to all who brought goodies and who sat at the table and sold everything, and I mean everything! We couldn't have done it without you (obviously!); 10% of this money goes into the scholarship account, the rest is going into the general account with which we will be paying for things like the Psychology graduates' reception and tags for the upcoming tagging party to get ready for the rummage sale, which brings me to the next item of business...

Camping -- We headed off into the great unknown over Spring break...Several members camped out at Montana de Oro. Songs around the campfire, roasted hotdogs, you know the drill.....Oh! That's right! We didn't just do the hotdog thing......Professional camper Mike Dulle brought along all the necessary equipment for REAL campfire meals. He showed us gastrointestinal delights such as eggplant parmesan and chicken-&-dumplings cooked using a Dutch oven and hot coals.... Thanks Mike! The music was supplied by Mary Stanecki, who entertained us into the early evening. Jennifer Hunt (with the ever present Jenny) and Young ("My friends call me..") Kim provided both intellectual stimulation and comic relief for the trip. Between the excellent company, the trees, and the ocean, we came home relaxed and a few pounds heavier! The explorers in the group Jeff and Will Mir also came home sunburned and leg-sore from their hike up the peaks.

The annual "Let's raise money for WPA and ARVO" yard sale was held the first weekend of break. A special thanks to everyone who showed up to help with that (hadn't quite recovered from finals, had we?) and especially to Mike Morin and family for letting us take over their home for the occasion! Welcome back, Mike.

Speaking of conferences, quite a number of our members made it to San Jose for WPA (see Psi Chi section for details), and we were able to offer a little financial support! Good work on all those fund raisers. For those of you who haven't been able to get involved in club activities yet....NOW is your chance....

ON THE SPORTS CIRCUIT....Volleyball is still going strong on Saturdays (see Luis Vega for details). While this is not a Psych Club activity, you will usually find our members out there eating the sand to get that return. Our VP Matt Fudge is getting a real reputation for his Saturday morning efforts. You go, Matt!

HAPPENING NOW.....It's that time of year again; if you would like to be an officer in Psych Club go by Jess Deegan's office to register. Voting will be in early May. We need good, energetic, and slightly insane people to take the challenge. (You try keeping a diverse group of Psych students interested and organized; then you'll understand the "slightly insane" comment!)

COMING UP.....The annual Psych Club Car Wash is set for Saturday, May 4, at the Der Wienerschnitzel on Ming Avenue and Stine Road from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Earth Day was April 20th, and the Psych Club helpedCarol Raupp set up, ran errands, and cleaned up afterwards.

ALSO, we are organizing the Psychology Graduation Reception for the Psychology Department. Last year was great and with Mike Dulle handling the details, this year will be just as spectacular. PLUS, for the first time, Psych Club is hoping to have a semi(?)-formal Change-of-Officer and Recognition Dinner. Apparently the President (Sharyn Eveland) has been coerced into wearing a dress for the occasion (tickets on sale soon!). Rumor has it that the advisor Jess Deegan, II is going to show his Hawaiian pride for the occasion. Let's hear from you, should Jess wear the traditional grass skirt or the modern imitation grass skirt? I vote for tradition, after all it's biodegradable. Let him know your opinion via email at JDEEGAN. AND speaking of traditional....The traditional (as of last year) Yeah-It's-Over end of the year party will be held on June 10th at the Deegan home. This year is a BBQ/Potluck, so look for details at the PC Library.

PSI CHI NEWS

Michelle Wheeler, President

A03822

Psi Chi has been very busy these past few months. We hosted the first annual Research Conference for the Behavioral Sciences. The conference was a great success, and we look forward to expanding it next year. We are already looking for our next keynote speaker. If you are interested in helping us host the conference or have an idea on who you would like the keynote speaker to be, please let us know.

WPA was a great success. We presented a chapter poster on our hits and misses since the chapter was founded five years ago. We won a $50 prize for the poster. Everyone who went had a blast and learned a great deal. Many students returned excited about their next research project and returning to WPA next year in Seattle. Since WPA is in Seattle next year, it is critical that Psi Chi begin raising money now. We could really use everyone's support so that we can help fund students next year. We're having a bake sale on May 7th from 3:00 - 9:00 p.m. in DDH. Please donate your goodies (I love Rice-Krispy Treats) or your time. There are sign up sheets outside of Dr. Vega's office and in the PC library.

Psi Chi will continue to accept applications for new members through April 26th. Please turn in your fees and applications before then. We will also be having officer elections early next month. If interested in holding a position, please let one of the current officers know. The induction will be held later in May and everyone is invited. Dr. Sasaki will be our keynote speaker. Dr. Sasaki is the only psychology faculty member who was a member of Psi Chi as a student. We're honored that he'll be speaking for us on our five year anniversary.

Psi Chi is currently setting the stage for many of next year's activities. We meet on Thursdays from 1:30-2:30 p.m. in DDH H-146. Everyone who is interested in furthering the science of psychology is welcome to attend. If you can't make the meeting times, check Psi Chi's calendars located across from Dr. Vega's office, across from Dr. Deegan's office, and in the PC library. The calendar will keep you up to date on votes, fund raisers, and activities (hopefully a date and time for a year-end party will be announced soon). Psi Chi also sends out weekly posts on email. If you want to be added to the list, please email me.

As this is my last message in The Psych-Out as president, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the officers and all the Psi Chi members who have made this such a wonderful year. I have really enjoyed my term as president and the opportunity that it gave me to work with some really great students and faculty members. I want everyone to know that Psi Chi is a truly great organization, and I feel that next year is going to be a stronger and more exciting year. We have some really top rate psychology students at CSUB and Psi Chi and Psych Club work to bring out the best in them. I know that Psi Chi has truly benefited me.

1996-97 TENTATIVE SCHEDULE OF COURSES

Note: This tentative schedule is subject to change. Evening sections are in bold print. Individual study courses are not listed, nor are courses offered by other departments that may be used as Psychology electives (e.g., BEHS or INST courses).
