Hi, Tipsters! One of my students was intrigued by the recent Inbar & Lammers (2012) article in Perspectives in Psychological Science pertaining to political diversity among members of APA Division 8 Society of Personality and Social Psychologists. If you haven't seen this article, you can download a copy here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2002636
In the same issue of Perspectives, a number of our colleagues made additional comments and criticisms regarding the methodology of th original study. Nate obtained the original instrument from Inbar and Lammers and adapted it to meet some of these concerns. For example, the original Inbar Lammers instrument asked only about discrimination towards conservatives, while Nate=E2=80=99s survey is balanced by including questions about discrimination towards liberals. In addition, Nate is interested in surveying a wider selection of faculty in psychology, as the original study was limited to those in the Personality and Social Psychology area. This is one of two studies he hopes to complete in this area. He is simultaneously surveying faculty at our home institution, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, across all disciplines. Because Cal Poly has programs such as Agriculture, Engineering, and Business that generally have more conservative faculty, we believe that this would provide an interesting backdrop to the study among psychologists. We are hoping that you will take about 15 minutes out of your busy schedule to respond to this online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BS5WZ5X The informed consent appears on the first page. We would also appreciate your forwarding this opportunity to any of your colleagues in psychology who might be willing to participate. The Inbar Lammers participants included graduate students who were teaching, so we would be interested in having your grad students participate, too. If you have any questions about this survey, please feel free to ask. Many thanks in advance, Laura Laura Freberg, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo 805.756.2357 http://www.laurafreberg.com/blog @lfreberg (Twitter) --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
