WHAT MAKES WRITING DIFFICULT?
Chair: Louis Lippman, Western Washington University

Presenter
Robert Boice, SUNY at Stony Brook

Synopsis of Presentation
First, I summarize my field studies with academic writers to show how we commonly undermine our productivity and creativity by working: a) amid busyness and bingeing, often under deadlines; b) with rushing and its high emotion/hypomania (i.e., creative madness); and, c) without patient prewriting. Second, I show how strategies of constancy and moderation reliably associate with improvements in fluency and publishability. And third, I relate these findings to new ideas about how writing works best, notably via clear, compelling, and nonverbal images that transform (with help from conceptual outlining done earlier) into approximations of prose.

Biographies
Bob Boice is Professor Emeritus (i.e., wizened oldster, put out to pasture) at SUNY Stony Brook and author of over 200 journal articles, chapters, and books (e.g., Advice for New Faculty, Allyn-Bacon, 1999). He lives in the remote mountains of Western Carolina where he tries to follow the Buddhist path. In his clinical practice as a writing therapist he has helped hundreds of writers, especially women and minorities, survive dissertation and tenure rituals.

A discussion hour with Robert Boice will follow this presentation in the Embassy Room.

MAKING MEMORIES THAT LINGER: EMOTIONAL AROUSAL,
STRESS HORMONES AND BRAIN SYSTEMS
Chair: Robert L. Solso, University of Nevada, Reno

Presenter
James L. McGaugh, University of California, Irvine

Synopsis of Presentation
Emotionally arousing experiences are memorable. I will summarize evidence from studies of animal and human subjects supporting the view that experience-released stress hormones play a role in modulating the strength of long term memories. The hormone influences are mediated by activation of the amygdala which, in turn, modulates memory consolidation in other brain regions. This system enabled people to remember where they were and what they were doing when they learned that President Lincoln was shot. Additionally, it serves a more generally adaptive role in insuring that the significance of events will influence their remembrance.

Biographies
Dr. James L. McGaugh is Director of the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory and research Professor of Psychology. He is a past president of the Western Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society. He did his undergraduate studies at San Jose State University and received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. He taught at San Jose State and the University of Oregon before going to UC Irvine in 1964 as the founding Chair of the Department of Psychology.

A PERSONALISTIC PERSPECTIVE TO THE STUDY OF SHYNESS:
INTRAPERSONAL, INTERPERSONAL, AND
TRANSPERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Chair: Philip G. Zimbardo, Stanford University

Presenter
Bernardo J. Carducci, Indiana University Southeast

Synopsis of Presentation
Shyness is not introversion and more than just a racing heart and uneasiness in social situations. The personalistic perspective to the study of shyness emphasizes a comprehensive understanding of shyness by examining how it operates within the individual, during social interactions, and within the context of culture and technology. The personalistic perspective to the study utilizes a variety of idiographic and nomothetic methodologies, ranging from the content analysis of personal letters to survey research conducted on the Internet. The personalistic perspective to the study of shyness seeks to familiarize shy and non-shy individuals with the richness and complexity of shyness through understanding and appreciating its pervasive nature.

Biography
Bernardo J. Carducci (A.A., 1972, Mt. San Antonio College; B.A., 1974, M.A., 1976, California State University, Fullerton; Ph.D., 1981, Kansas State University) is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. He is the author of The Psychology of Personality: Viewpoints, Research, and Applications (1998, Brooks/Cole) and Shyness: A Bold New Approach (1999, Harper Collins), past-president of the Council of Teachers of Undergraduate Psychology (CTUP), and fellow of the American Psychological Association.

APA Advocacy Training Seminar
Chair: Shiela Forsyth, American Psychological Association

Have you ever met with a Member of Congress? Made a telephone call? Written a letter or sent an e-mail? Because "all politics is local" - because you vote - you can make a difference! This interactive seminar will explain why your active involvement (advocacy) is important to you as a graduate student, as a psychologist . . . as a citizen. The session will give you the impetus to communicate regularly with your congressional delegation about your concerns. You will gain first-hand instruction and invaluable advocacy skills needed to effectively promote your issue(s) in Congress - tools that can be applied at state and local levels. Three areas will be addressed: the legislative process; communicating effectively with Congress; and the importance of grassroots activities.

LIAR! LIAR! WHOSE PANTS ON FIRE
Chair: Carolyn Weisz, University of Puget Sound

Presenters
Anthony R. Pratkanis, Stanford University & Derek D. Rucker, Ohio State University

Synopsis of Presentation
A false accusation is made. According to the childhood chant, it is the liar's pants on fire. Or is it? Four experiments find evidence for the effectiveness of the projection tactic: a false accusation deflects blame for misdeeds away from the accuser and towards the accused. The implication of this interpersonal influence tactic for understanding the social psychology of false witness will be discussed.

Biographies
Anthony R. Pratkanis is the co-author of Age of Propaganda: The everyday use and abuse of persuasion. His research has investigated such topics as delayed persuasion, attitudes and memory, groupthink, affirmative action, source credibility, and a variety of influence tactics such us the pique technique, phantoms, 5-in-1 prize tactic, ingratiation, and altercasting.

Derek D. Rucker is currently a graduate student in social psychology at Ohio State University. His research interests include persuasion, influence, and social cognition.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS:
ISSUES AND INTERVENTIONS
Chair: Ron Riggio, Claremont McKenna College

Presenters
Mitchell Lee Marks, Management Consultant, San Francisco

Synopsis of Presentation
Despite their popularity in corporate and not-for-profit organizations, only about 20% of mergers and acquisitions achieve their financial or strategic objectives. This presentation reviews the human, cultural, and organizational implications of mergers and acquisitions, based on experience in over 50 cases of organizational combinations over the past 15 years. It identifies key aspects of the transition management process that distinguish the successes from the failures. And, drawing from case examples, the presentation reviews implications for the management of psychological, cultural, and organizational aspects of today's mergers and acquisitions.

Biographies
Mitchell Lee Marks is an independent Organizational Psychologist based in San Francisco. He consults to a variety of organizations on matters of organizational change and development, culture change, team building, executive coaching, and the planning and implementation of organizational transitions. His most recent book is Joining Forces: Making One Plus One Equal Three in Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances (Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1998). He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.

This panel discussion talks about the research program at the University of California Davis Medical Center's Child Protection Center. By recruiting undergraduates,we offer a breadth of research and clinical training that exposes them to different aspects of psychology. Along with the usual student duties such as literature reviews and data entry management, our program also exposes them to behavioral observation coding, scoring of different tests, and possible testing of children in our clinic. We also provide the opportunity for our students to present at conferences. This panel is composed by four of our undergraduate research assistants.

THE HECK WITH THE SURGEON GENERAL:
A NEW APPROACH TO HEALTH PROMOTION
Chair: Roxanne Cohen Silver, University of California, Irvine

Presenters
Howard S. Friedman, University of California, Riverside & Leslie R. Martin, La Sierra University

Synopsis of Presentation
Just about everyone in the United States knows that smoking, obesity, fatty meats, drug abuse, unprotected sexual promiscuity, and not using seat belts are unhealthy. In fact, many people overestimate the risk and believe everything fun is unhealthy. Longitudinal data from the 7-decade Terman life-span study reveal that key ongoing patterns of health-relevant behavior can be distilled. Problems with the existing piecemeal approach to health promotion need correction.

Biographies
Howard S. Friedman is Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside. He is an elected Fellow of WPA, APA, APS, and SBM. Best known for his work on personality and health, as well as his work on nonverbal communication and charisma. Friedman's most recent books are the Encyclopedia of Mental Health (editor-in-chief, Academic, 1998), and Personality: Classic Theories and Modern Research (Allyn & Bacon, 1999). In 1995, Professor Friedman was awarded UCR's Distinguished Teaching Award.

Leslie R. Martin, assistant Professor of Psychology at La Sierra University, received her Ph.D. in social/personality psychology from the University of California, Riverside in 1996. Much of her research involves exploring the ways in which psychological and personality factors influence physical health and longevity. She is currently funded by NIA to study gender differences in personality consistency and change from childhood to mid-life using data from Lewis Terman's Life Cycle Study.

COMMUNICATING RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC
Chair: Philip G. Zimbardo, Stanford University

Presenter
Robert B. Cialdini, Arizona State University

Synopsis of Presentation
The popular media constitute the most powerful vehicle for and the most formidable barrier against the professionally responsible communication of social science to the public. An approach for communicating responsibility with the public through the media is described. A central component of that approach seems dishonest but is shown not to be upon close inspection. It advises scientists to respond to the poor questions of media representatives with answers to the good questions they could have been asked.

Biographies
Robert B. Cialdini is currently Regents' Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, where he has also been named Graduate Distinguished Research Professor. He is a past-president of the Society of Personality and Social Psychology. His book, INFLUENCE: Science and Practice has appeared in three editions and seven languages.

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Chair: Susan Knapp, APA Publications Director

Synopsis of Presentation
Getting your manuscript published is a necessary part of the career of young psychologists, but it is often a difficult and harrowing task. This session, sponsored by the APA Publications and Communications Board, is intended to demystify some of the publication process and to encourage productive manuscript writing, particularly by women and ethnic and minority men and women, who have been underrepresented in psychology journals.

Hector F. Meyers, University of California, Los Angeles

ADAPTING TO THE NATURAL VISUAL ENVIRONMENT
Chair: Robert L. Solso, University of Nevada, Reno

Presenter
Michael A. Webster, University of Nevada, Reno

Synopsis of Presentation
The way things look depends profoundly on processes of adaptation that adjust vision to the prevailing stimulus. Many classic after-effects (e.g., of perceived tilt or motion) illustrate how perception can be biased by the patterns of recent stimulation. But what are the perceptual aftereffects induced by natural patterns of stimulation, in images that are encountered in the course of everyday viewing? I will describe a series of studies that examine how the visual system adapts to the color and spatial content of natural scenes. These studies reveal that adaptation to natural images results in strong and selective biases in visual sensitivity, influencing perceptual judgments ranging from color appearance to face recognition. I will also describe recent experiments designed to understand the functional role of these perceptual changes, by exploring adaptation in a "foraging" task that simulates the problem of trying to find a fruit among foliage. This work suggests that adaptation may serve to enhance the salience of novel stimuli by partially discounting the ambient background.

Biographies
Michael A. Webster received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego in 1981, and attended the American University in Cairo from 1978-1979. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1988. From 1988-1994 he was a post-doctoral Fellow in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge, where he was awarded fellowships from NSF, NIH and Jesus College. Since 1994 he has been at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he is currently Associate Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in Experimental Psychology. His research interests are in color and form perception and how the properties of perception are shaped by adaptations to the natural environment. He received the 1998 WPA Award for Outstanding Research.

JURIES: TRUTH, LIES, AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Chair: Robert A. Bjork, University of California, Los Angeles

Presenter
Phoebe C. Ellsworth, University of Michigan

Synopsis of Presentation
The jury system has been a source of controversy for centuries, and the end of the second millennium is no exception. Some critics argue that ordinary citizens simply are not equal to the difficult task of interpreting complex facts and applying even more complex law: the weakness of juries are the weaknesses of bad jurors. Others, including most social scientists, argue that the structure of the jury's task is conducive to poor performance, and that reforms should focus on the decision-making situation rather than on the individual decision makers. After a long period in which social science research designed to improve jury decision making was ignored, there is now a growing reform movement which takes account of this research.

Biographies
Phoebe C. Ellsworth received her BA from Radcliffe College in 1966 and her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Stanford University in 1970. She presently holds a joint appointment at the University of Michigan in the Department of Psychology (Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor) and the School of Law (Kirkland and Ellis Professor). Her research is split between two quite distinct areas. First, she is interested in emotions and the relation between cognition and emotion. Second, she is interested in the interface between Psychology and Law, where she has done research on eyewitness identification, capital punishment, and jury decision making. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and, with Robert Mauro, author of the first chapter on "Psychology and Law" to appear in the Handbook of Social Psychology (1998).

THE ILLUSION OF CONSCIOUS WILL
Chair: Robert A. Bjork, University of California, Los Angeles

Presenters
Daniel M. Wegner, University of Virginia

Synopsis of Presentation
A person's experience of will can be influenced in a variety of ways, quite independent of the real causal role the person plays in producing an action. Under some conditions, people report that they willed actions they were actually forced to perform. Under other conditions, people report making no willful contribution to actions that they actually forced another person to perform. Such illusions raise the possibility that a person's conscious experience of will is not a useful indicator of any real causal relationship between mind and action.

Biographies
Daniel M. Wegner is Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. Author of White Bears and Other Unwanted Thoughts, his research focuses on the role of thought in self-control and social life.
