Students Present Papers by Dannie Ward and Joanne Carswell On April 2-3 Meredith College and NCSU sponsored the Seventh Annual Carolinas' Psychology Conference. This conference provided undergraduate students with the opportunity to develop and present research as professional psychologists do at the National Psychology Association Conference. Papers were submitted to a committee for rewiew. Forty papers, by students from seventeen schools, were chosen for presentation; four of the selected papers were done by Meredith students. Mary l-Iaskett, Judy Anderson, and Jerry Tolson all presented individual papers; Virginia Porter, Sandra Shelley, and Ruth Kennedy Jointly presented a paper. Mary Haskett dealt with a mother's speech to her infant. Using as her subjects three mother-infant pairs, Mary filmed each couple In a homelike atmosphere, first when the baby was five months old and then nine months. After an analysis of the data, she discovered that the mothers talked more when they were Interacting with their babies than when the pair were not responding to each other. Mary also noted that the mother used longer utterances to her child of five months. Mary credited this work as helpful in preparing her for graduate school. The effects of stimulus familiarity on memory were studied by Judy Anderson. Judy asked social science majors to decide if certain words (dealing with business or music) completed certain sentences. Then at the end of the session, she asked the subjects to recall as many words as possible. Her data revealed that more music terms were recalled by the group. Judy convnented that the experience has and will “open doors” for her in the Job market. In summary, she noted that the paper was “a lot of hard work, t>ut worth it.’* , Virginia. Porter, Sandra Shelley, and Ruth Kennedy worked together to discover how a woman’s title affects the way she is perceived by others. Subjects selected from both a women’s college and a coeducational college were asked to read and evaluate essays. The essays were identical except the name of the author: - "Mrs. Nancy Cooper,” “Miss Nancy Coper," “Ms. Nancy Cooper," or ‘'hJancy Cooper.” Students from the wonnen's college rated the essay by “Mre. Nancy Cooper" highest; those from the coeducation college preferred the one by “Nancy Cooper." The three students feel that they gained insight into the research aspects of psychology. The results also offered insight into sex role stereotypes. Jerry Tolson was unavailable for comment on her paper. Organization of the conference was handled almost entirely by the students; Meredith faculty advisor was .
