Faculty News

Mark Vincent and colleague, Matthew Weeks, recently had an abstract published in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion, 2007 Vol. 14, No. 14, Pages 317-331, entitled “Using Religious Affiliation to Spontaneously Categorize Others.” The abstract can be viewed by clicking here.

Mark Vincent also took a group of nine students (Brittany Adams, Amy Garczynski, Kenny Slocum, Peter Bowling, A-J Steed, Jim Clinton, Nikki Rohner, Sarah Downie, and Lindsay Laatsch) to the 17 th Annual Tri-State Undergraduate Psychology Research conference at Rockford College in November. Most of these students presented the results of research projects conducted in the Psychology Department at this conference.
