In reply to more research here, posted by Dr. Bob on December 1, 2006, at 13:16:52
Dr Bob,
I dont have any particularly bright ideas on research topics at this moment, but I'd like to volunteer to be involved in this if you do decide to do any work regarding the boards. I am 3/4 of my way through a masters in psychological sciences (research methadology, essentially) and the thing I hate most about the program is that I'm always doing work that feels so pointless, like it's never going anywhere. But I would certainly be interested in research regarding the boards, even indirectly, and if there is any way I could be involved in any way, I'd love that. Of course, you might not be looking for help in that way, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. I live close to DC and definitely plan to be at APA in 2008.
I'll let you know if I think of any great ideas. I do agree with Jost's idea of looking at the blocking system, but I also wonder if that isnt too touchy of a topic right now. I'm not sure how it could be done.. obviously you couldnt do it in a true experimental style.. and I'm afraid the emotion a lot of people hold about blocks right now would make it hard to get any sort of self-measures. I dont know. I'm thinking out loud.
Thanks for putting this question out there for us to discuss DrBob.
