Huge shout out to 5th year clinical psychology doctoral student Violeta Rodriguez who was featured as one of the up-and-coming voices in methodology and research practices in psychological science! Violeta recently shared findings from her systematic review of the literature on measurement invariance/equivalence of parenting scales by race and ethnicity and discussed recommendations for inclusive parenting research.

Amazing work, Violeta! 

Affective science is the study of affective processes (e.g., emotion, stress, motivation) in the lives of individuals, groups, organizations, and cultures. Faculty in this area use a variety of methods (e.g., fMRI, EEG/ERPs, peripheral psychophysiology, ecological momentary assessment) to study affective processes in normative and clinical populations, as well as workplaces.

Huge congratulations to UGA clinical psychology doctoral candidate Violeta Rodriguez on receiving R36 funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)! The Mental Health Research Dissertation Grant to Increase Diversity (R36) supports doctoral candidates from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral science to pursue research careers in any area relevant to the research mission of NIMH.

Shout out to UGA Psychology BBS graduate student Jeffrey Nightingale for his recent feature in a peer-reviewed video protocol titled "Measuring the Behavioral Effects of Intraocular Scatter." In this video, Nightingale and UGA professor Dr. Billy R. Hammond Jr. discuss conceptual design elements and structural development of a glare acuity apparatus, which can aid in developing timely treatments for conditions affected by intraocular scatter, such as cataracts. Great work!

Congratulations to Dr. Lillian Eby, who was recently named a Fellow of the Academy of Management (AOM)! The Fellows Group recognizes and honors AOM members who have made significant contributions to the science and practice of management. For 2021, Dr. Eby was one of 14 fellows honored with this induction.
