MSJ Student Psychology Awards at the 2024 Rocky Mountain Psychological Association Conference in Denver, CO this April.
The Mount’s Psychology Department is excited that there will be a record number of Psychology seniors attending the Spring 2024 Psychology Conference. The Mount will have 7 Psychology seniors presenting their research projects at the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association Conference in Denver, Colorado this April. Our Psychology Department’s previous record number of seniors accepted into a psychology conference was 6 students. MSJ’s Psychology Department continues to produce excellent Psychology students year after year.
In addition to having a record number of Psychology seniors attending the Spring 2024 Psychology Conference, a few Mount students are finalists for additional awards at the conference and one of our students has already received a very prestigious award.
“Addie Conley won a prestigious Psi Chi Regional Research Award! Addie is one of only 6 winners, out of hundreds of students who submitted research to the conference. This makes three years in a row that our students have won this award, which ties a record we set back in 2001-2003. Addie will be presenting her research, titled “Effects of Labeling and Source Credibility on Trustworthiness and Voter Approval,” at the annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association in Denver, CO in April. She’ll receive $400 and an award certificate from Psi Chi.” Dr. Tim Lawson, Psychology Professor
Robin Carpenter's “Effects of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention on Educators’ Mood and State Anxiety” and Ella Sheppard's "Effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Auditory Hallucinations: Meta-Analysis and Review" have both been chosen as one of the 6 RMPA awards finalists. The final award winners (4 papers) will be determined after the oral presentations at the conference. “This is the first time we’ve had three students up for awards at the same conference!” Dr. Tim Lawson, Psychology Professor
