| WAUKESHA –University of Wisconsin-Waukesha students have been invited to present their research papers at the annual Psi Chi Undergraduate Research Conference to be held at the UW-Madison on April 28.
The students are enrolled in the experimental psychology class at UW-Waukesha taught by Bob Bermant, professor of psychology. “I’m especially proud of this set of students. They really worked hard collecting the data and preparing their papers,” said Bermant.
The student groups and their papers are:
-
Kimberly Christian , Jacob Jelden and Ali Packer (all Waukesha) and Sara Numan (Pewaukee): "The Male-Female Battle in Jealousy and Its Evolutionary Substructure"
-
Nicole Anderson (West Allis), Betsy Hallam (Oconomowoc), Nicole Meidinger (Sussex), and Katherine Schmitt (Hartland): "A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing: Pretty Pictures Produce Ugly Consequences"
-
Sara Holz (Butler), Bradley Rockenfield (New Berlin), and Michael Steffanus (Milwaukee): “Under Our Noses: Subconscious Effects of Pheromones in Human Beings"
Students from twenty schools in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin compete for an opportunity to present at this conference, which is sponsored by the Madison chapter of Psi Chi, the undergraduate honor society in psychology. Promotional materials for the conference specifically mention the UW-Waukesha students’ papers. This year's program includes 44 papers from a variety of psychology related areas. Papers will cover work in clinical, cognitive, social, developmental and biological psychology.
The annual conference gives undergraduate students an opportunity to participate in the academic milieu ordinarily experienced only in graduate school and beyond. |
