[tips] Re: undergrad research participation

[Marie Helweg-Larsen]

Similarly, perhaps one day psychologists who learn from animal models will not rely so heavily on just rats in their studies. Also, perhaps one day medicine will move away from unrepresentative samples of volunteers in clinics and hospitals or relying on large samples of equally unrepresentative groups of people (such as nurses and physicians). Marie Harzem Peter wrote: I know many will not like this but... I hope one day regulations and restrictions will become excessive, using undergraduates as subjects will become rare, and psychology will cease being the psychology of a narrow range of young adults, and become just psychology. By the way, I do not all blame (especially the young) faculty.  I am well aware that for  many faculty the prevailing conditions make research with  undergraduates simply a matter of survival.   (Time available, need for quickly getting published, etc., etc.)  Peter Peter Harzem, B.Sc.(Lond.), Ph.D.(Wales) Hudson Professor Emeritus Department of Psychology Auburn University Auburn, AL 36849-5214 USA Phone:   +334 844-6482 Fax:       +334 844-4447 E-mail:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal E-mail:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] . --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english -- ********************************************* Marie Helweg-Larsen, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology Dickinson College, P.O.
