[Social] Fw: Invitation for Cross-National Collaboration (McGill)
by Lauren Human 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hi everyone, Please see below for an invitation from Toni Schmader (https://psych.ubc.ca/persons/toni-schmader/) to join a collaborative project - she is specifically looking for someone from McGill to take part. This is open to a faculty member or graduate student (with supervisor's ok of course :) The deadline to join is coming up: March 1 ________________________________ I am contacting you to invite you to be part of a unique collaborative project. I am part of a core team of researchers (see list below) conducting cross-national research on young men’s and women’s norms, beliefs, values, and expectations surrounding men’s communal roles and career interests across a diverse set of countries. We currently have commitments from people to collect datasets from university students in 44 different countries, but we also realize that we’d like to capture regional variability within Canada. To that end, we wondered if you might have any interest in collecting a sample at McGill. Collaborating on this study provides a unique opportunity to understand social psychological and cultural variables that predict men’s roles and aspirations. Every data-collecting collaborator will be guaranteed co-authorship on the first 3 multi-nation publications. More information on the study can be found on the website<https://ucom2017.wordpress.com/> and more information on collaboration can be found here<https://ucom2017.wordpress.com/collaborator-faq/>. If you are interested in collaborating, you can fill in this form<https://ubcarts.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ei0RFn2qlI9QYgl> to get started and send me a quick email to let me know (or let me know if not interested/not possible for you). Thanks!

Tupperwarians: This week we will be treated to not one, but two practice talks by our social postdocs! First up, we have Dr. Frank Kachanoff (postdoc with Dr. Kteily) who will be practicing his talk for SPSP about: “Determining their destiny: Are low power group members more willing to accept their disadvantage when they are free to express their culture?" Next up, we have Dr. Sabrina Thai (postdoc with Dr. Lydon) who will be giving us her practice job talk (details coming soon). Please note that because we have two talks (and the job talk will be a bit longer, approx. 45 minutes), Tupperware will be longer than usual (until 3:30pm). See you Friday 2pm Room 1552.

[Social] Tupperware Guest: Dr. Christopher J. Bryan
by Amanda Ravary 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Tupperware followers: This week we welcome guest speaker Dr. Christopher J. Bryan to our Tupperware series. Dr. Bryan, a McGill alum, is an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. Dr. Bryan will be speaking to us about: "Sticking it to the man: Harnessing adolescent values to motivate healthier dietary choices" Adolescents are exposed to an enormous volume of marketing for junk food. This creates automatic positive emotional associations with junk food and drives overconsumption. We counter this influence with an intervention that frames healthy eating as aligned with adolescent values of autonomy (i.e., rebelling against adult authority) and social justice. In two randomized, controlled field experiments, we find that this intervention changes adolescents’ construal of the meaning of healthy eating and produces lasting changes in their implicit positive associations with junk food and their dietary choices at school. Each of these findings, on its own, represents a breakthrough that investigators have been aggressively pursuing for many years. Together, they offer hope of accomplishing what has proved a frustratingly elusive goal in behavioral health: a scalable intervention that produces enduring improvements in adolescents’ dietary preferences. Friday 2pm. Room 1552. Note to grad students: We are hosting a lunch for Dr. Bryan before Tupperware — if you’re interested please contact Jenny ASAP (jennifer.heyman(a)mail.mcgill.ca<mailto:jennifer.heyman@mail.mcgill.ca>).
