Poster 1. Bodinger, J. & Scisco, J.L (Eastern Connecticut State University): How Team-Based In-Class Activities for Physiological Psychology Impact Learning and Classroom Engagement
Two challenging topics for students in a Physiological Psychology course are (1) the ionic basis of the action potential and (2) understanding the functions of the visual system. The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of team-based in-class activities for these topics on learning and classroom engagement. The two activities involved acting out the action potential for the class and using diagrams of the visual system to determine the impact of damage to specific structures on vision. Findings indicated high levels of engagement and short-term knowledge gains.

Poster 2. O’Connor, H., & Chambers, D. (American International College): The Path to Promoting Cultural Competence in the Classroom
Developmental Psychology explores biological, cognitive, and socioemotional changes across the lifespan. This requires repeated consideration of contextual influences like cultural difference. For years, we have been remodeling our approach to promoting cultural competence in the classroom. In most recent years, we used pre and post measurement of self-reported confidence to discuss contextual influence of cultural differences in childbirth practices, emotional expression, family and parenting, gender and sexuality, and death and grieving. Over the semester, we organized exercises, videos, and discussions related to these areas of cultural competence. Results show a significant increase in self-reported confidence to discuss each category.
Poster 3. Hanna, J.E., Poepsel, D.L., & Lupien, S.P. (Daemen College): Evaluation of SPSS Training within a Psychological Sciences Statistics Course Versus an Introductory Research Methods Course
Statistics and research methods are crucial components of undergraduate psychology majors. Training in a statistical software package is usually included in one or the other of these courses. In the Psychological Sciences Department at Daemen College, we traditionally taught one of the dominant software packages (SPSS) to our undergraduates during research methods, but have recently
8
switched to teaching it in statistics (the semester prior to beginning methods). This case study examines the degree to which student learning has been impacted by this curriculum change.
Poster 4. Andonian, J., Bantz, D., Gilbert, D., & Shedletsky, L. (The University of Southern Maine): Launching into Life after College: A Public University Responds to Student Needs at a Critical Developmental Period
This presentation features an innovative course for college juniors and seniors, Launching Into Life After College, piloted at a public regional university. Beyond emphasis on early career planning, the course takes a broader approach to bring direct attention to unique developmental stresses of emerging adults in modern society, recognizing that navigating these challenges is inextricably related to how well students fare in the post-college transition. Research findings from the development and piloting of the course, applicability to teaching and suggestions for helping students are highlighted.
Poster 5. Kliman, J. (William James College): The Social Matrix: A Visual Tool for Teaching about Intersectionality
This presentation describes the use of the “Social Matrix: A Visual Teaching Tool,” in help student therapists and professionals understand the impact of intersectional privilege and marginalization on therapeutic and family relationships. The Matrix
9
visually displays individuals’ subjective experience of privilege and marginalization in 37 inter-related domains of identity. Students training in the field can compare their Matrix profiles with those of their clients to understand their impact on the work. It is being computerized for greater accessibility, for easier use in training, research, and consultation. This presentation will describe multiple uses in teaching and in supervision.
Poster 6. Chambers, D.L., Anderson, D.D., Sego, S.A., & Stuart, A.E. (American International College): Can a Statistics Class Change Anxiety about Statistics?
Teaching statistics, we know that students enter with apprehension. One challenge is helping students build confidence. Our approach is to show students they are capable. We stress that they have the skills and help them see their progress. Students have reported being capable of doing statistics despite having anxiety. To see if there is a change in anxiety, we administered the Statistics Anxiety Measure (adapted from Earp, 2007). We found that students’ anxiety decreased while their skills increased. There was also a significant negative correlation between the students’ final grade and their anxiety level at the end of the semester.
Poster 7. Brown, J., & Schulte, A. (Franklin Pierce University): Examining the “Teacher-Tester Methodology” on Student Performance and Piracy
10
Research indicates that students “borrow” the work of others because they do not have a strong understanding of the material or what the assignment is asking. The prediction was that the “Teacher-Tester Methodology” will increase performance and decrease the similarities between papers. Statistics course writing assignments were examined under two conditions: Teacher-Tester Methodology, or a traditional method. Assignment grades were compared. Plagiarism software was used to examine paper similarities (more similarity may be more indicative of “borrowed work”). The findings indicate that performance increased using the Teacher-Tester Methodology, but the findings were mixed for similarity.

Sarah Marty, B.A., Albi Beshi, B.A., Rebecca Graham, B.A., Jessica Lewcowicz, B.A., Adam Olszyk, B.A., Marissa Persico, B.A., Michelle Swiankek, B.A., and Bonnie Pepper, Psy.D., Albertus Magnus College, New Haven, CT. Graduate Training in Group Counseling: Experiential Practices in a Collegiate Community Garden
In the summer of 2019 students in a graduate level group counseling class at Albertus Magnus College utilized a campus garden as a cultivating tool for experiential learning. The culminating project for the course required the students to present a theoretical framework of group psychotherapy and incorporate the campus garden into an experiential process group. Through collaboration and connection to the material using the garden,
11
students actively engaged and enhanced their understanding of group modalities. The poster will discuss the implementation and outcomes of the project.
Poster 9. Caitlyn Dion; Jennie Brown, Ph.D.; Kimberley Gerlarneau, B.A.; Angela Christian, B.A.; Franklin Pierce University. Evolving Curriculum: Using Evolutionarily Relevant Educational Activities to Increase Academic Performance and Retention.
Research indicates there may be a link between the evolutionary relevance of early-childhood education and predicting academic success. From an evolutionary perspective, children have an innate need to play and experiment to learn new skills. Current arguments suggest that modern-day classrooms may be less effective because they do not satisfy students’ needs to socialize and freely investigate their interests. Research indicates the more motivated students are to learn, the more likely they are to display academic success. The purpose of this research is to examine whether evolutionarily relevant learning activities can improve academic success and enjoyment in a college environment.

Can I talk about race in the classroom? Should I? Incorporating Identity in our
Teaching
13
Stephanie Afful, Ph. D.Associate Professor of Psychology
Lindenwood University
As teachers of psychology, our theories are easily applicable to students’ lives. And yet sometimes we struggle to focus the lens on our identities, how our
intersectional space affects the way we as consumers of psychology process information and make decisions not to mention how we teach, grade, and write. How
do we create a culturally competent classroom in which students feel included and that they matter? How do we minimize the potential for stereotype
threat? For both students and instructors, acknowledging our racial identity and our potential
biases is an important first step. From Action Potentials to Z-scores, regardless of the course or our
area of expertise, we can still incorporate inclusive practices into our pedagogy. This presentation will
discuss how we develop our self-awareness and implement changes in our syllabi, assessments, and
facilitation of class discussions.

Integrating the IPI Student Learning Outcomes and 5 Pillar Model into Your
Introductory Psychology Course: A Hands-On Workshop
Altman, W.S (SUNY Broome Community College)
We will present a workshop to help introductory psychology instructors integrate the 5-Pillars model for
teaching introductory psychology and the Student Learning Outcomes developed by the Steering
Committee for APA's Introductory Psychology Initiative (IPI) directly into their courses.
This is a hands-on workshop. Each participant will gain a set of new skills, and the confidence to apply
them. Participants will work directly on their course materials, and leave the workshop with resources that can be used immediately in their upcoming semesters.

Avoiding Death by PowerPoint: Tips to Make a Better Presentation
16
Hopf, J., Fishman, S., & Osher, J. (William James College)
Today’s learners are increasingly visual, with decreasing attention spans, and yet so many of us still fall prey to boring “death by PowerPoint” presentations. Research
tells us that simplicity, clarity and authentic storytelling are the keys to delivering messages that stick. This
presentation will provide research-based design strategies that support highly engaging and impactful presentations. There will be a focus on how the use of
color, typography, space, and imagery play a critical role in the way we share information, and how thoughtful design is key to giving an effective presentation that
resonates with the audience.

Participant Idea ExchangesAcademic Center 101
PIE 1: The Use of Open Educational Resources in Improving Equity and Student
Success: An Effective Intervention?
Brewer, C (Suffolk County Community College)
The use of Open Educational Resources (OER) is touted by some as a way to improve equity in higher education
by removing the cost of textbooks and providing all students free access to the textbook, from the first day
of class.
This session will examine the use of OER in an Introduction to Psychology classroom over the course of 2 years, comparing grade distribution, retention rates
and exam grades of OER and non-OER sections. An examination of some recent findings and their relevance
18
for understanding the ability of OER to improve student success will be included.
PIE 2: The Art of Winging It: How to Help Yourself Succeed in Classroom
Extemporization. Instructional Strategies that Engage Students
DesRoches, R. (Regis College)
Does a master Jazz musician just ad-lib and produce a fantastic solo out of thin air? Of course not. Her
seemingly improvised solo stems from a myriad of skills and knowledge such as music theory, scale system
expertise, and muscle dexterity.
So too, building component skills in instructional methods can lead to excellent and impromptu teaching.
Today we will focus on some of the many skills to develop as a teacher that help build comfort in
creativity- in particular delving into the art of asking great questions.
PIE 3: Is it the Business of Psychology or is it the Psychology of Business? Powerful Effects
of an Interdisciplinary Presentation
O’Connor, H.R.M., & Khoury, R.J. (American International College)
Students often compartmentalize subject matter and study courses independently. Two professors (one
19
business and one psychology) have taken an interdisciplinary approach and lectured in each other’s classes stressing the application of psychological theory to business operations. The response from the students
was positive. We encourage you to look for opportunities to include an outside speaker in a
different field to emphasize interdisciplinary learning. Are you looking for ways to begin this process? Are you currently doing this? Please join us for this participant
idea exchange and share your experiences and questions.
PIE 4: Psychological Connections: Making Psychology Relevant for Other Majors.
Nancy Frye, Long Island University - Post Campus & Michele Dornisch, Long Island
University - Post Campus.
Introductory psychology often satisfies students’ general education or core curriculum requirements, and it, as well as other foundational psychology courses are often required in a variety of majors. What can be done
to help ensure that such students see the connection between theories of psychology and their own interests?
How can students be encouraged to apply ideas from psychology to their everyday lives? The purpose of this
poster is to present how two courses at the Post Campus of Long Island University meet these goals.
PIE 5: Smith, R. (Husson University) & Harwood, E. A. (Rivier University)

Taking on leadership positions in academia
This participant idea exchange will focus on taking on leadership positions within academia. Discussion topics will include time management, managing
difficult personalities, implementing performance evaluations, setting expectations, delegating tasks, and resolving conflicts. The goal will be to initiate
conversations about effective leadership and participants will be invited to share their experiences
and to ask questions of experienced chairs/coordinators. Additional topics could include
maintaining healthy separation from co-workers (while still remaining friendly), building support
networks outside of the department (or University), and setting and staying focused on department goals.
PIE 6: Bethany C. Johnson, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology, Alfred University
To Boldly Go: Applying Social Psychology to a Complex, Controversial Topic Across
the Semester to Promote Critical Thinking, Engagement, and Social Justice
Tackling a “hot” topic in class can be risky and enormously rewarding. I selected a complicated
issue (marijuana legalization) to use as a running example all semester in my Social Psychology
course. I intended to illustrate the ability of social psychology to examine every element of an issue,
and to demonstrate the versatility, utility, and 21
scope of social psychology. The technique increased depth of processing as students
connected the topic across units, and increased engagement by capitalizing on the emotional attitudes associated with the issue. We will discuss how to extend this strategy to other
controversial topics and courses.

“Fake news” then and now: Using historical and current narratives to teach critical
thinking
Susan A. Nolan, Ph.D., Seton Hall University
“Fake news,” despite its moment in the spotlight, is hardly new; yet, even though it goes back hundreds of
years, fake news, including in scientific contexts, is garnering attention from the media and the scientific establishment alike. Researchers in psychology and
other fields have helped us to understand the cognitive and personality characteristics that are associated with a tendency to think critically, as well as the science behind
24
what can increase healthy skepticism. In this presentation, I will outline the research on individual
differences and mechanisms for change, and will argue that both historical and current narratives, and the
scientific lies embedded in them, can be harnessed in effecting such change. I will introduce practical
resources, helpful learning tools, and ideas for suspect stories that can be used in courses across the psychology
curriculum. The ultimate goal is to help students build the “need for cognition” that can lead people to enjoy being critical and (appropriately) skeptical thinkers
about information, including from psychological science.Friday 2:40 AM- 3:40 AM

Digital Learning Techniques for On-Ground and Online Psychology Classrooms
Dominello, N.H., Lesniak, B., & MacCarty, T. (Southern New Hampshire University)
Whether in the on-ground or online classroom, psychology students must be engaged in order to learn
effectively. As of 2017, two-thirds of students are enrolled in on-ground psychology courses, while the
25
other third have taken at least one online course. Sound digital learning techniques crossover between the bricks-
and-mortar and online worlds. Learn about the advantages of each instructional method and where they
intersect to enhance the teaching of psychology. The resources shared in this session will help you enhance
your techniques in simple but effective ways.

Promoting Student Engagement and Intrinsic Motivation through Autonomy Supportive
Teaching
Durwin, C. (Southern Connecticut State University) & Reese-Weber, M. (Illinois State
University)
Autonomy-supportive teaching practices increase student engagement and intrinsic motivation and
improve academic performance. Examples of these practices include providing choice in learning,
empathizing with students, showing confidence in their abilities, and providing the right amount of structure and
scaffolding to help them succeed. This workshop will provide an overview of autonomy-supportive practices
and give participants hands-on experience at transforming some of their current approaches into those that are more autonomy-supportive. Workshop
presenters will use interactive methods such as: participant self-reflection (through brief surveys), case
26
studies, think-pair-share, and group discussion of teaching practices.

Teaching Diversity in Unusual Places: How to Transform Statistics, Research Methods and
History
In this concurrent session, we will discuss how to move diversity issues into courses that are integral parts of the
psychology curriculum. In many programs, student exposure to cultural issues can be limited to stand-alone courses that make diversity seem as if it belongs by itself
and does not relate to psychology in a more general sense. The three components of this session will
highlight how to make issues of culture and diversity an embedded part of statistics, research methods, and
history.

Orientation to the Major: Preparing Students for Success in Psychology
In this concurrent session, we will discuss the various teaching strategies used to orient students planning to
major in psychology. Students benefit from an early 28
understanding of the major fields in psychology, department requirements, faculty research areas,
student resources and career planning guidance. At Bridgewater State University, psychology majors must complete a (P/F) orientation course during their first
year of the major. Facilitators will share successes and challenges with the orientation course, including
feedback from students at the beginning and end of the semester, and open discussion for other ideas to best support students for success in psychology programs.

31
Every day, people manipulate their surroundings on the basic of their clothing choices. While often
implicit, the clothes we decide to wear influence both how we feel about ourselves and also how others view us. In every social interaction, automatic judgments of
clothing can play a role in behavior, affect, and cognition. Unfortunately, clothing is associated with sexism and racism and wearers of certain types of
clothing are subjected to prejudice and harassment. Members of minority groups are often stereotyped by
the clothing they wear. How does clothing change perception? Can we use clothing choices to short
circuit prejudice? I shall review a program of research on clothing highlighting successes and pointing the
way to the future.
