[14 Dec 2009|07:03pm] psych_students [ithinkheaven] I'm sorry if this is too specific, but on the off-chance that anyone is familiar with the Stanford graduate psychology program... Would I have a dream of a chance of getting in with a 3.0 major GPA and a 3.5 cumulative? Does the cumulative even matter? This is provided I have good GRE scores, solid recommendations, and a host of extracurricular activities to do with psychology, and some undergrad research experience. And an excellent SOP. Thank you for any insights, positive or negative! p.s. Personal circumstances require me to stay in the Bay Area; any other good schools in the area? Does not have to be on par with Stanford. I could go as far as SF (I attend Santa Clara University right now, but they only have an MFT/counseling program), but... no other good schools in the South Bay, really, right? 16 comments|post comment

[14 Dec 2009|09:42pm] psych_students [so_corrupt] Hi everyone, I'm a canadian highschool student and i'm looking for some advice. I'm interested in fields related mostly to criminology and abnormal psychology, but i'm confused as to potential careers in those fields. I love trying to figure out how people think, what they will do in certain situations, etc. Any ideas for careers??? To be honest the closest I've come to finding a "match" is from watching Criminal Minds (lol.) but i'm fairly sure the job title "profiler" doesn't exist..and if it did it would be extremely limited and competitive. I suppose a Detective/Special Agent is also really close. Can anyone also recommend any University Courses? Or a series of Courses to get me where I want to be? Links are appreciated 8 comments|post comment

Objectum Sexuality [14 Dec 2009|08:56pm] psych_students [moodring54] I'm an undergrad in a Human Sexuality class and I'm doing a paper on people who identify as objectum sexuals/objectophiliacs. It doesn't seem to be a very deeply researched subject, as I can only find a couple of peer-reviewed sources to cite. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any articles or papers that might help, even in a broad sense? Ones I've got: Pettman and Clemens, Relations Relations with Concrete Others Pettman and Clemens, Avoiding the subject: media, culture and the object Thanks in advance. 4 comments|post comment

Statistician's Homesick Blues [11 Dec 2009|01:33am] psych_students [i_jethrobot] [ mood | accomplished ] A group of us first-year grad students got together and made a quick video about our grad-level stats & research methods course: Some lines are inside jokes, some are stats jokes, but most of it comes from Bob Dylan's original song, "Subterranean Homesick Blues." Enjoy. :) ~ Jethro. Cross-posted to psychology 8 comments|post comment

autism [07 Dec 2009|04:56pm] psych_students [nino_shanidze] hello guys. I am doing a presentation to make about autism with a couple of other students. my part is single cases.

Emergency psychology [06 Dec 2009|01:04pm] psych_students [laniana] Dear collegues! I teach research methods for future "emergency psychologists" (not sure on translation) in Moscow. They study to work with stress&trauma, and in disasters. I want to increase their motivation to do researches and my question is on student societies, conferences, summer/winter schools etc. in this area where they could apply. Do you know any ideas and links? 3 comments|post comment

acceptable thank yous to professors and internships? [04 Dec 2009|07:58pm] psych_students [goth_kittykat] [ music | Marissa Nadler - Thinking of You | Powered by Last.fm ] I want to thank the professors that i liked and helped me as well as the people at my internship before i graduate in 2 weeks. I like being eco friendly and try to give gifts that aren't just materialistic. I was thinking about baking them some dessert and sending everyone an online card..i am trying my best to get away from paper because of it's waste. i'm wondering if this is appropriate for this kind of arena. i've never really done this before so i'd like to check. if not please suggest me what else would fit in the category? thanks. :) 2 comments|post comment
