This presentation examines how cultural invalidations and racial code-switching are associated with ethnic-racial identity development, mental health, and occupational outcomes among people of color. Cultural invalidations are identity threats that challenge the authenticity of a person’s membership within their racial group, and racial code-switching is the process of modifying one's behavior to adhere to the norms of specific racial groups in different contexts. Implications regarding the psychological costs and benefits of cultural invalidations and racial code-switching will be discussed.

2021 Tanner Lecture: Work: What Is It? Do Most of Us Need It, and Why? (September 16, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86236 86236-21632211@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 16, 2021 8:00pm

There are, I shall argue, three important areas of philosophical exploration about work.

The first is a question in social ontology: What is work? This question is both historical and conceptual, as questions in social ontology usually are. And the contemporary idea of work and of a job—and the related idea of a good job--are the results of conceptual and institutional developments over the last few centuries.

The second is an ethical issue, in Aristotle’s broad sense of ethics as concerned with eudaimonia: How does work fit into the good life? This problem is especially challenging because the idea of a good job involves many dimensions of assessment: Does it produce something useful? Does it make a positive contribution? Does it give the worker a decent income? Was that income fairly decided? Are the conditions of work satisfactory? Are they just? Does the job have the rewards of sociability? Is the work a source of significance for the worker?

Looked at more generally, the good job does four things: (a) it provides goods and services worth having, while also (b) providing people with income, (c) sociability, and (d) significance. And one of the things that makes the ethical questions especially challenging at the moment, is that new technologies are reconfiguring employment in ways that appear to threaten the creation of jobs that do all four of these things well and do them through one job.

Human flourishing requires all of these things: products, services, incomes, sociability, significance. For many people over the twentieth-century providing a good job played a huge role in delivering all of them. But AI and robotics may produce a world in which products and services could increasingly be produced without providing employment for most people: and that means either that we must find a way of providing everyone with the resources for a dignified human life without sharing the social product through the labor market, or we must invent income-generating activities that we don’t need for the products or services they provide. We might want to do the latter because many of us would not know how to fill our lives with significance or find social groups outside the family with which to engage unless we were involved in some organized productive activity.

These are issues on which many popular writers on the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and on globalization have, of course, written for some time. But we need more serious organized reflection on the normative issues raised by these challenges.

And that leads to the third cluster of concerns: How should law and other sources of normative authority be configured to allow work to contribute to the flourishing of workers, and how should the opportunities and rewards of work be shared? Like Aristotle, I think we need to get the ethics right to do the politics, but I also think that, precisely because we are, as he insisted social animals, it is hard to pry them apart.

In this lecture I shall focus on the central set of ethical questions but say some things in passing about the social ontology of work at the start and the politics of employment at the end.

In this presentation, I will focus on racial identity-context congruence, that is, the extent that racially minoritized students' constructions around the importance and meaning of their race can be aligned or misaligned with their experienced academic environments. I will share studies linking students' identity-based experiences (interpersonal and climate experiences in academic and social contexts) that are stigmatizing or affirming to outcomes related to their academic identities, achievement, and persistence. This work also highlights how many racially minoritized and underrepresented students draw on their racial and cultural identities in ways that promote their motivation and persistence, especially in settings where they are underrepresented and experience marginalization based on their multiple social identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, among other identities). I will discuss implications for scholarly approaches to studying positive development among racially minoritized students; as well as the need to shift away from institutional approaches focused only on supporting minoritized students in navigating non-congruous environments (individual student resilience) toward approaches focused on creating/recreating settings that affirm and align with minoritized students' identities and that leverage students' identity strengths to support them as whole persons (institutional resilience).

Just as being a graduate student is very different from being an undergraduate so are the ways in which you figure out which programs are the best fit for you, and successfully apply for them. This session will be especially relevant to juniors and seniors in the process of researching and applying to graduate school: How to find the right programs, how to structure your personal statement and get strong recommendation letters, do you have to take the GRE – and what if you don’t score as well as you’d like? However, we’ll also talk about what you should be doing to prepare as early as your sophomore or even freshman year. We’ll have both a short presentation and a panel of graduate students, including those who have recently served on admissions committees.

Researchers have used social dominance, system justification, authoritarianism, and social identity theories, to understand intergroup phenomena ranging from racial categorization to political movements. The result has been a growing understanding of how particular sociopolitical motives and contexts impact intergroup relations, without a unifying perspective to integrate these insights. Using research on multiracial categorization as a case study, I review evidence supporting each theory’s predictions concerning how monoracial perceivers categorize multiracial people that combine their ingroup with an outgroup, with attention to the moderating role of perceiver group status. I find most studies in the multiracial categorization literature cannot arbitrate between theories of intergroup relations and reveal additional gaps in the literature. To advance this research area, I introduce the Sociopolitical Motive x Intergroup Threat (SMIT) Model of Intergroup Relations that 1) clarifies which sociopolitical motives interact with which intergroup threats to predict categorization and 2) highlights the role of perceiver group status. Moreover, I consider how the SMIT model can help understand phenomena beyond multiracial categorization.

“Flourish” by Martin E.P. Seligman - A must read for those wanting to understand how we thrive.

"The book is full of nuggets about why positive approaches work."
"An interesting and hope-inducing read with real-world application."

Seligman's approach is to take psychology from its traditional role in alleviating misery and broaden it into a solid research-based guidebook to wellbeing -- teaching us how to be wiser, stronger, more generous to others, more self-disciplined, and more capable of dealing with difficulty and rejection. Seligman asks, what is it that enables you to cultivate your talents, to build deep, lasting relationships with others, to feel pleasure, and to contribute meaningfully to the world? In a word, what is it that allows you to flourish?

This study group will meet on Wednesdays for six weeks beginning on September 29. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Germine Awad's scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and more recently, body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. The majority of her research is guided by the questions “What factors lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities?” and “What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?” The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Although overt discrimination towards ethnic minorities has decreased over the years, the practice of more covert, subtle forms of prejudice remains. The events of September 11, 2001, however, reintroduced more explicit forms of prejudice towards Arab/Middle Eastern Americans, and those perceived to be Muslim, complicating the dialogue on discrimination in the United States. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards ethnic minorities generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact ethnic minorities’ perception of discrimination. Most recently, she has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color.

Poverty exposes children to multiple environmental inequities that increase the risk of impaired physical health, lower educational attainment, mental health problems, delinquency, and worse outcomes as adults. Adverse outcomes are stronger when poverty occurs in early childhood or persists throughout a large portion of childhood. Experiments that test the effects of policies and programs that increase cash income and “near cash” benefits (e.g.,nutrition assistance) suggest that income poverty itself causes negative child outcomes, and that differences between the outcomes of poor and nonpoor children do not stem exclusively from the cluster of other disadvantages associated with poverty that may be harmful to children (e.g., low levels of parental education). There are numerous pathways through which poverty can influence children's development. In this lecture, I will emphasize research that adopts a “family stress” perspective, which posits that poverty can adversely affect children’s socioemotional development partly by increasing psychological distress and depressive symptoms in parents and in turn, undermining the quality of parenting. Neighborhood characteristics and interpersonal factors can contribute to, amplify, and mitigate links in this pathway. Extensive research suggests that alleviation of poverty can foster children’s development by increasing the goods and services that parents can buy for their children and by promoting a more responsive, less stressful environment in which more positive parent-child interactions can occur.

Are students still engaged? How Georgetown University approached student survey design and analysis during the initial phase of the pandemic.

Most colleges and universities administer multiple surveys to students, faculty, and staff throughout the academic year. Institutions have dedicated survey plans that call for the collection of information about the student experience, faculty satisfaction, cultural climate, and alumni outcomes/perceptions (among other topics).

The shift to remote instruction in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that institutions had to act swiftly to rethink survey plans and other data collection methods. New types of data were also needed by leadership to quickly understand the impact of the shift and how students, faculty, and staff were faring in this unprecedented time.

This presentation will explore the variety of approaches that Georgetown University took in surveying students and faculty during the pandemic. First, the development of “pulse” surveys to measure academic engagement will be discussed, followed by a step-by-step account of how the survey data were communicated and used. Challenges in terms of sampling, questionnaire construction, survey nonresponse, and ethical use of data will be highlighted. Finally, we will discuss how these new approaches and lessons learned are helping to drive innovation in future survey efforts at the University.

Location: Mason Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Jonathan Morrow, M.D., Ph.D. received his B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Southern California, and his M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Michigan. Dr. Morrow stayed on at Michigan to complete his residency training in Adult Psychiatry, and subsequently became certified in Addiction Medicine. He is currently an Associate Professor of Psychiatry, and he provides medication management and other clinical care to patients through the University of Michigan Addiction Treatment Services. Dr. Morrow's primary research interest is in delineating the basic neurobiology that underlies motivated behavior, and determining how variation in that neurobiology can lead to psychopathology.

The aim of this talk will be to provide an overview of the neurobiology of addiction, with an emphasis on the interplay between conscious decision-making and subconscious or “automatic” desires. Individual variation in this neurobiology will also be discussed, especially with regard to its influence on susceptibility to addiction. Finally, the scientific findings outlined in this talk will be used to raise questions about morality, personal responsibility, and societal responses to addiction and other behavioral disorders.

Detroit Hustles Harder: The(Re) Production of Systemic Racism through Organizational Practice (October 8, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86994 86994-21638107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 8, 2021 1:00pm

Our relational ethnography of a resource-constrained entrepreneurial ecosystem with changing racial demographics expands the study of systemic racism that emerges in and through organizations. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (CRT/I) frameworks, we critically interrogate the relational configuration between entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) and Black women entrepreneurs in Detroit, MI to understand how practices, or everyday activities that constitute organizational life, reinforce racial, gender, and class hierarchies. We implemented a site-based, relational ontology to analyze our qualitative interviews (n = 65) and field observations, which deepened the meaning and enactment of systemic racism in this particular ‘site’. Our data revealed ESOs use of discursive, embodied, and material practices to inform the types and extent of support offered to entrepreneurs in Detroit. Assemblages of these practices maintained or disrupted systemic racism through three key mechanisms: control over resources, relational patterns between residents, and the entrenched power dynamics in the city. Accordingly, we build theoretical knowledge of practices that may inadvertently reproduce racial inequality through adopting critical perspectives of organizations. We provide recommendations for organizations and other social institutions seeking to dismantle systemic racism based on the insights that emerged in our data.

ZOOM MEETING https://umich.zoom.us/j/96616169868 Passcode: CSCS

ABSTRACT: The recent US political landscape brings many puzzling questions. For example, the two major parties have become increasingly polarized since the 1960s, while most voters maintained moderate policy positions. What can lead to the disconnect between the parties and the voters? Also, a sizable proportion, often the majority, of the voting population is uninformed about facts relevant to their voting decisions, such as policies proposed by the candidates. Can such a voting body deliver good collective decisions? In this talk, I give an overview of research projects that address these complex issues, which leverage dynamical-system models, empirical findings in psychology, and data analysis. This approach takes into account the impact of multiple, complex, and often non-linear factors, and aims to give a coherent understanding of complex social phenomena.

Abstract:

My research is dedicated to neuro-performance: how to increase motor and cognitive capabilities and new strategies to restore them after injury. In my lab we ask if there are ways to capitalize on non-invasive brain stimulation technologies and genetically-based neuromodulation to achieve motor and cognitive functions faster, or perhaps even get to a level that exceeds traditional training approaches. We are working with rodents and large animal models of peripheral nerve injury and traumatic brain injury. We are using multidimensional measurements including behavioral tests, gait and motion testing, electrophysiology, wearable sensors, and neuroimaging to gain a holistic understanding on neuro-performance. We are also studying neural circuits associated with octopus arm movement with the goal of developing new octopus-inspired prosthetics.

Compositionality---the principle that the meaning of a complex expression is built from the meanings of its constituent parts---is considered a central property of human language. The key benefit of compositionality is compositional generalization, which enables the production and comprehension of novel expressions analyzed as new compositions of familiar parts. In this presentation, I discuss my work on developing a test for compositional generalization for artificial neural networks based on human generalization patterns discussed in existing linguistic and developmental studies, and applying this test to several instantiations of Transformer (Vaswani et al. 2017) and Long Short-Term Memory (Hochreiter & Schmidhuber 1997)) models to better characterize their learning biases.

Getting involved in research is a great way to build your skills and get the “behind the scenes” look into the science that you later learn about in your textbooks and classes. If you’re thinking of going to graduate or medical school, ideally you want to be starting in a lab by your sophomore year and in most cases no later than your junior year. But how do you find and apply for a position? And what do you do if there’s a pandemic and no positions are available? We’ll go over tips for both these situations.

In recent years, many organizations have adopted the notion that employees should “bring their whole selves to work,” or be authentic in the workplace. Research supports the benefits of authenticity at work (Cha et al., 2019). The conversation often assumes that everyone has equal opportunity to express themselves authentically. Yet, given the discrimination experienced by some employees, such Black women, authentic behavior may not be attainable, even for those in leadership positions. Drawing from research on power and intersectionality, we examined the factors that influence authenticity for Black women leaders in organizations. Findings from qualitative interviews reveal factors that inhibit and facilitate the willingness to be authentic at work, as well as the different manifestations and consequences of authentic behavior for Black women leaders at work. I discuss the theoretical and practical insights that emerge from this work.

Remington Distinguished University Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan, where he also holds appointments in the Department of Statistics and the Institute for Social Research. He has over 250 publications, notably on methods for the analysis of data with missing values and model-based survey inference, and the application of statistics to diverse scientific areas, including medicine, demography, economics, psychiatry, aging and the environment. Little is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute, a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the National Academy of Medicine. In 2005, Little was awarded the American Statistical Association’s Wilks Medal for research contributions, and he gave the President’s Invited Address at the Joint Statistical Meetings. He was the COPSS Fisher Lecturer at the 2012 Joint Statistics Meetings.

On the Definition of Response Propensity

Nonresponse propensities play a central role in unit nonresponse adjustments from both design and model-based perspectives, but are often not clearly defined because of lack of clarity about the variables on which the propensities are conditioned. I propose a definition of response propensity for the purpose of nonresponse adjustments, where the conditioning is restricted to include the variables measured in the survey as well as design and auxiliary variables measured for respondents and nonrespondents. The proposed definition is justified from both design-based and model-based perspectives. The role of the missing at random assumption is discussed for both perspectives, for cross-sectional surveys and longitudinal surveys with attrition.

Detecting white supremacist speech on social media
Wednesday, November 3, 1pm ET

Social media have been repeatedly shown to harbor white supremacist networks, enabling far-right extremists to find one another, recruit and radicalize new members, and normalize their hate. In order to address the problem of white supremacist speech on social media, platforms must first be able to identify it.

In this talk, Libby Hemphill will present research to understand what white supremacist speech looks like, especially how it’s different from general or commonplace speech, and to determine whether white supremacists try to adapt to avoid detection from social media platforms’ current content moderation systems.

ISR Insights Speaker Series is a series focusing on the research happening at ISR.

The first round of attempts to diversify the academy, what we call Diversity 1.0, largely entailed attempting to remediate underrepresented students, through program support and other efforts, so that they could thrive within the academy. By and large, these efforts did not consider the biases embedded within institutions of higher education and the institutional changes that need to happen in order for minoritized students to feel they belong and can thrive within these institutional spaces. That deeper, institutional work is what we call Diversity 2.0 -- the process of evaluating and addressing the structural factors that make departments and campuses feel unwelcoming and unsupportive to minoritized students. To address this challenge, we suggest a holistic approach, one that includes a focus on admissions, belonging, climate, and data equity, as the best approach for creating the institutional transformations needed to make departments and campuses truly inclusive.

Are you the same person you think you are? Are you the same "person" everyone else thinks you are? Like to try a few, very short personality "quizzes". (Ok, this is really just for FUN! It's absolutely no real attempt to analyze you. And, you don't have to divulge the outcomes!)

Over an hour or so, we'll do 4 or 5 exercises such as the Sherwin Williams Color Preference, the short-form Enneagram and even an old Meyers-Briggs initial quiz. I’ll come up with a couple of others ... just for fun! We’ll poll the class to see the range of personas indicated. Who knows?

Study group leader Doug Stowell has been a national OLLI Instructor since 2018. His career includes – Director of Market Research for the Xerox Corp., U.S. Director for the U.K. firm National Opinion Polling, Ltd., and Senior Consultant with Wirthlin Polling in DC. He opened his own firm in 2002 and continues today conducting global consumer issues surveys.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

Peer Advisors for Veteran Education (PAVE) is a student veteran peer support program offered at 45 college campuses nationwide, including the University of Michigan. The PAVE program connects incoming student veterans with trained student veterans already on campus who can help them navigate college life, address challenges they may face, refer them to appropriate resources on and off campus, and provide ongoing support. Join us as Dr. Michelle Kees and Kali Lake share about the history of and research on the PAVE program, and learn more about the powerful impact peer support has on student veterans.

Location: School of Education
Organized By: Functional MRI Lab

Abstract:

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H MRS) is a well-established technique for quantifying the brain biochemistry in vivo. In most studies, however, the ¹H MRS is acquired during rest with little to no constraint on behavior. Measured metabolite levels, therefore, reflect steady-state concentrations whose associations with behavior and cognition are unclear and limited. With recent advances in MR technology, ¹H MRS is now experiencing a resurgence with growing and compelling evidence of task-related changes in brain glutamate at temporal resolution similar to fMRI. More importantly, these changes are consistent with altered metabolic steady-states that reflect the neural output driven by shifts in the local excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) balance on local circuits. Unlike blood oxygen level differences-base fMRI, this form of in vivo MRS, also known as functional MRS (¹H fMRS), yields a more direct measure of behaviorally relevant neural activity and is considerably less sensitive to vascular changes. ¹H fMRS enables noninvasive investigations of task-related glutamate changes that are relevant to normal and impaired cognitive performance, and psychiatric disorders.

This presentation will: 1) introduce ¹H fMRS and its conceptual framework in assessing the neural output driven by shifts in the E/I balance on local circuits; 2) provide evidence that ¹H fMRS is a sensitive tool for detecting task-related changes in the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in functionally relevant brain areas; and 3) provide evidence on how ¹H fMRS can advance the understanding of neural dysfunctions related to the inability to shift the E/I equilibrium through mechanisms of impaired synaptic plasticity in aging and psychiatric disorders.

I am Rob Wells formerly Sgt. Wells. I served 21 years in the Army National Guard in a communications unit. I spent the last year of my career in Iraq in 2003. Living in a war zone for a year will forever change you and you will not be the same person who left.
I want to discuss what it is like to live with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder if you suffering from it or how you can help someone going through it. I hope that others can be given a glimmer of hope and the ability to understand why someone living with this does the things that they do. I will discuss the things that have help me the most and the struggles I have had. I am willing to open up the darkest part of my life so that hopefully someone can avoid some of what I have lived with.

Organizations are continuing to direct efforts to recruit women and underrepresented minority members (URM; Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latinx) to increase workforce diversity. Yet, the underrepresentation of women and URM members persists across many industries and organizations, rendering the need to strengthen the body of research that looks to find ways organizations can increase recruitment and selection of minority employees. My colleagues and I address this need by focusing on diversity recruitment within an academic setting, a context where hiring and promoting women and URM members continues to be a challenge. In the first two studies, we utilized and extend homophily theory to explain how and why the demographic composition of the recruitment team can contribute to attracting more women and URM candidates. In the third study, we examined how and why diversity recruitment strategies can have negative effects for URM applicants

The University of Michigan offers a unique opportunity for undergraduates to help local “at risk” grade school students by acting as mentors. This program has been very successful. Young students experience personal gains in self-confidence, persistence, self-knowledge, support and friendship. The University of Michigan students gain valuable experiences that help them better understand theories of motivation, child development, and learning. In many cases the relationship goes beyond teaching to shaping an individual’s perspective or outlook on life.

Students interested in enrolling in Michigan Mentorship (Psych 304) must attend an info session. For more information please visit the website (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/michigan-mentorship-program/)

The University College London (UCL) Centre for Engineering Education is a joint venture between Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the Institute of Education (IoE). Through research and active engagement, it aims to encourage the study of engineering and allied subjects and drive curriculum innovations to help create the next generation of engineering graduates needed to address complex global challenges. The Centre for Engineering Education is heavily involved in the running and dissemination of UCL Engineering's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) – one of the four case studies described in the MIT report “Reimagining and rethinking engineering education” – a pedagogical framework by which undergraduate students study using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. In this session, I will focus on CEE’s research with IEP students and recent graduates to understand their experiences in the programme. Findings suggest gender differences in the awareness of the societal impact of engineering, and that communication skills are essential to engineering practice. Finally, I will highlight contributions for future longitudinal research on engineering student learning and career pathways in the UK.

Freedom at Work (December 3, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88822 88822-21658556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 1:30pm

The past year has been by marked the convergence of public health, racial justice, economic and democratic crises. To meet the moment, leaders have sought to heighten aspirations toward racial representation, equity and inclusion across industries. Bold proclamations in support of Black lives, and ambitious platforms to invest in Black livelihoods, have been backed by billions of dollars and coalitions of hundreds of leaders across sectors. As institutions begin to implement these diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, what will they establish as standards for success and indicators of progress? How will organizational leaders and their stakeholders assess whether the racial climate has transformed to reflect greater diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice? During this seminar, I will introduce a framework for pursuing Freedom at Work, grounded in the juxtaposition between the democratic ideals of liberty and justice, and the sociohistorical oppression of enslaved, African-descended Americans and other minoritized racial groups. I invite scholars and practitioners to analyze relative access to various freedoms at work (i.e., expression, actualization, deviation, transformation, reformation), consider how inequity undermines these freedoms, and examine how freedom fighters from racially diverse and occupationally diverse backgrounds can help leaders to embody the aspirations and ideals they hold for diversity, inclusion, equity and justice. This discussion will also explore means for placing guardrails on practices that undermine rather than uphold the liberties of communities that were long-denied access to educational opportunity, career mobility and economic advancement. In this vein, I take up the question of how personal leadership commitments and accountability practices might catalyze change, sustain momentum and advance the equal exercise of freedom at work for members of minoritized racial/ethnic identity groups.

Abstract:

Optical and magnetic resonance based imaging methods are uncovering information about brain function and dysfunction with an unprecedented level of detail. Transgenic rodent models have enabled the dissection of neuronal cell-type contributions to vascular responses and hemodynamic imaging in the mammalian brain. These studies motivate the use of high-resolution fMRI for estimating excitatory and inhibitory activity from hemodynamic responses as well as monitoring brain dysfunction in an array of brain diseases. Altogether, these findings continue to support a bright future for fMRI and hemodynamic imaging methods for basic and clinical research studies.

Black Women in Sports Leadership: Navigating Workplace Blackness (December 10, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89570 89570-21664219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 1:30pm

Identity is a critical attribute of effective leadership. Moreover, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis, 2010). Sport organizational cultures, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions), create habitus (Bourdieu, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell, 2010), and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

When do Multinational Corporations Concede to Nationalistic Activism: A Natural Experiment (January 14, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90174 90174-21668508@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 1:30pm

We extend the corporate political-mediation model, which is developed in a domestic context and attributes corporate concessions to social movement activists to contextual pressures, to the international market in order to explain concessions made by multinational corporations (MNC) to nationalist activists in their host countries. We argue that in the international market, the pressures that firms face include not only declines in performance but also those that arise from a more complex set of stakeholders. Whereas in a domestic context, all of a corporation’s stakeholders are embedded within the same cultural, political, and social environment and are therefore more likely to have a shared understanding of what is good, right, and desirable in society, in the international context of MNCs, stakeholders are located in countries with different national values and sometimes even opposing beliefs. Nationalism can be perceived as undermining the right of a nation’s individual members and minority groups. Thus, a firm is less likely to concede to a host country’s nationalism if it faces pressure from stakeholders located in countries that value equality, individualism, democracy, and diversity. We find support for our theory in a natural experiment on Fortune Global 500 firms that were targeted by Chinese nationalists for violating the “One China” protocol in regional indications.

Abstract:

The selection of information from our cluttered sensory environments is one of the most fundamental cognitive operations performed by the primate brain. In the visual domain, the selection process is thought to be mediated by a static spatial mechanism – a ‘spotlight’ that can be flexibly shifted around the visual scene. This spatial search mechanism has been associated with a large-scale network that consists of multiple nodes distributed across all major cortical lobes and also includes subcortical regions. To identify the specific functions of each network node and their functional interactions is a major goal for the field of cognitive neuroscience. In my lecture, I will give an overview on the neural basis of this fundamental cognitive function and discuss recently discovered rhythmic properties that set up alternating attention states.

Organizational Science and Health Care (January 21, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90175 90175-21668509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Research on topics of organizational science in health care settings for a variety of reasons has proliferated in recent years across both organization- and health-focused disciplines. Yet, questions abound about what we as organizational scholars know, what we have learned, and whether the research we are conducting is relevant. The first goal of this session is to take stock of this important domain by drawing together findings from two recent works: a critical history and analysis of the patient safety movement and an analysis of almost 700 articles published over the past decade in leading organizational science (OS) and health care (HC) journals. A second goal is to provide insight into promising avenues that could ultimately advance organizational science and health care with future research that is both rigorous and relevant.

Technology's Law of Amplification and What It Means for Organizations Kentaro Toyama (January 28, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90347 90347-21670445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 1:30pm

Over the years, the tech industry has made many promises to organizational customers -- for example, that its products would improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase scale. More recently, the promises have extended to such things as improving teamwork and decision-making. While these promises have been realized in some contexts, they remain largely unmet in others. Is there a way to distinguish between realism and hype in computing? Technology's "Law of Amplification" is a simple idea that captures digital technology's impact. This talk will reveal how it explains a broad range of past and existing organizational phenomena, and how it suggests predictions for the future.

Brian M. Wells and Hani Zainulbhai - Using a Web Diary Survey to Measure Out-of-Home Media Consumption and Engagement (February 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90980 90980-21675125@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 9, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science

Brian M. Wells is a Senior Data Scientist at Nielsen where he works on a variety of quantitative projects to evaluate, improve, and expand Nielsen panels. Previously he served as the Data Quality and Survey Methodology Manager for the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) where he evaluated the need for and implemented a new data collection methodology. Brian received his PhD in Survey Methodology from the University of Michigan.

Hani Zainulbhai is a Senior Data Scientist at Nielsen and a 2018 MPSM graduate. At Nielsen, she has been involved in developing alternative recruitment methods for the TV audience measurement panel.

Using a Web Diary Survey to Measure Out-of-Home Media Consumption and Engagement

Dimensions of out-of-home (OOH) media measurement rely on human input and cannot be fully captured through passive data collection via smart devices or portable meters. To better understand OOH TV consumption, we designed a web-based diary survey to capture the various components of OOH TV consumption while trying to minimize recall bias, especially for brief, unanticipated viewings. The study consisted of two parts: a Recruitment phase and a Diary phase. During the Recruitment phase, selected panelists from a nationally representative sample completed a short survey and were asked to participate in the 7-day diary. Those who agreed were enrolled in the Diary and were asked to complete a once-daily diary, logging all their OOH activity and TV consumption. The surveys were conducted over four weeks from mid-October to mid-November 2021, with each week having an independent and representative sample covering a different 7-day period. This presentation will provide an overview of the methodology and process used to administer the Recruitment and Diary surveys, including sample design, recruitment procedures, web-based diary survey design, and participation and response rates for each survey. In addition, we will discuss the results of a questionnaire experiment exploring differences between the concepts of attention to and engagement with media. A random half-sample was assigned questions about either “attention” or “engagement” to each program viewed. Within each half-sample, we also randomly assigned each respondent to an ascending or a descending response order condition to observe if there is any primacy effect due to collection in a self-administered mode. Preliminary results show differences in the distributions for attention and engagement implying some differentiation in how respondents perceive these two measures.

Exposure to Violence and Subsequent Weapons Use in Two Urban High-Risk Communities
Thursday, Feb. 10, noon ET via Zoom

Speakers: Eric F. Dubow (Adjunct Research Scientist, Research Center for Group Dynamics; Professor of Psychology, Bowling Green State University) and L. R. Huesmann (Amos N Tversky Collegiate Professor Emeritus of Communication Studies and Psychology, Professor Emeritus of Communication and Media, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, College of LSA and Research Professor Emeritus, Research Center for Group Dynamics, Institute for Social Research)

Researchers Dubow and Huesmann report preliminary results of data that they have collected over the last 13 years from youth and young adults in two diverse, urban, high-crime communities (Flint, MI, and Jersey City, NJ). Their findings have shown that early exposure to weapons violence (whether in the family, neighborhood, or through engaging with violent media) significantly correlates at modest levels with weapon carrying, weapon use or threats-to-use, arrests for weapons use, and criminally violent acts 10 years later. Violence exposure was significantly linked to beliefs about the acceptability of behaving aggressively. They argue that youth who observe more violence with weapons, whether in the family, among peers, in the neighborhood, or through the media or video games become infected from the exposure with a social-cognitive-emotional disease (evidenced particularly by normative beliefs approving of gun violence) that increases their own risk of behaving violently with weapons later in life.

Sensing Water in Mexico City
Branko Kerkez and Elizabeth F.S. Roberts, University of Michigan

Monday, Feb. 14, The Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
Zoom only

Abstract:
A growing number of the world’s urban households only receive water intermittently. In this paper we describe our multi-disciplinary project, bringing together engineers and ethnographers, that seeks to sense the effects of intermittency in working class neighborhoods in Mexico City. We installed newly engineered water sensors in participant households, allowing us to apprehend previously unseen dynamics, for example that weekly versus daily intermittency has substantial effects on water quality. Through ethnographic data from these same households we found that in regards to the constant labor of managing water, daily versus weekly intermittency also has complex and counterintuitive effects on domestic life. Our ethnographic/engineering collaboration allows us to document complex water phenomena, that we could not have seen on our own, and by sensing how these complex water dynamics produce different household water ways we have more of a sense of what the future might hold.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

Organized By: Department of Psychology

Networking is an essential 'soft skill' both in and out of academia. However, many people find it mysterious, intimidating and maybe even a little icky. Come talk with current and former undergraduate and graduate students (most but not all from UM), all of whom got their start in psychology and/or neuroscience, who have been successful in networking in academia, outside of it, or a little bit of both. Some have leveraged their networks to help build their scientific careers, some to help make institutional changes in their departments and/or companies, to get positions in or out of academia, or in one case, to start a $150k business in swing dancing while also doing a cog neuro postdoc. Get their insights on how they got started, strategies that did and didn't work for them, and more! Everyone is welcome, regardless of your career stage and type. We'd love to get some of your questions ahead of time to give them a chance to think about helpful resources - please complete the form here! https://forms.gle/jicgTemtCSNa8fNx5

People are increasingly using data and evidence from scientific studies to inform decisions, both in industry and in their personal lives. However, evidence-based reasoning presents many challenges, such as misinterpreting data, focusing on irrelevant data, and accepting evidence that conflicts with prior beliefs. In this talk, I will discuss how using theories from cognitive science can inform learning interventions to improve scientific and statistical literacy so that people can evaluate evidence more critically and objectively.

Things Are Not What They Seem: The Origins & Evolution of Intragroup Conflict (February 18, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91806 91806-21690201@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 18, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Teams scholars have historically conceptualized and measured intragroup conflict at the team level. But emerging evidence suggests that perceptions of intragroup conflict are often not uniform, shared, or static. These findings suggest important questions about the microfoundations of intragroup conflict: Where does conflict within teams originate? And how does it evolve over time? We address these and other questions in three abductive studies. We consider four origination points—an individual, dyad, subgroup, or team—and three evolutionary trajectories—conflict continuity, contagion, and concentration. Study 1, a qualitative study of narrative accounts, and Study 2, a longitudinal social networks study of student teams, reveal that fewer than 30 percent of teams experience team-level conflict. Instead, conflict more commonly originates and persists at individual, dyadic, or subgroup levels. Study 2 further demonstrates that traditional psychometric intragroup conflict scales mask the existence of these various origins and trajectories of conflict. Study 3, a field study of manufacturing teams, reveals that individual and dyadic task conflict origins positively predict team performance, whereas traditional intragroup task conflict measures negatively predict team performance. The results raise serious concerns about current methods and theory in the team conflict literature and suggest that researchers must go beyond team-level conceptualizations of conflict.

Organized By: TEDxUofM

TEDxUofM is a university-wide initiative to galvanize the community for an event like no other; filled with inspiration, discovery, and excitement. Borrowing the template from the world-renowned TED conference, TEDxUofM aims to bring a TED-like experience to the University of Michigan. Our vision is to showcase the most fascinating thinkers and doers, the “leaders and best” in Michigan terms, for a stimulating day of presentations, discussions, entertainment, and art that will spark new ideas and opportunities across all disciplines. Our conference will feature 8 speakers, 3 performing groups, and interactive labs/activities for attendees!

Our theme for this year’s conference is SHATTERPROOF. Through a time of fragmentation and dissonance, individuals and communities have showcased an incredible ability to withstand adversity. Resilience is found in all of us despite the size of the challenge. We use our voices to empower each other. We use ideas to drive us forward. We refuse to crack under pressure. We are shatterproof. As we set the stage with this spirit, our goal is for attendees to discover what being shatterproof means to them.

Abstract:

Network neuroscience is built atop a network model in which cells, populations, and regions are linked to one another via anatomical or functional connections. Historically, this model has been approached from a node-centric perspective, emphasizing features of neural elements: the number of connections they make, their centrality, module affiliation, etc. However, brain networks can also be examined from an edge-centric perspective that explicitly focuses on properties of connections: their material and metabolic costs, the generative processes that govern connection formation and their dynamics across time. In this talk, I will present results from several recent papers and highlight findings and advantages of edge-centric network perspectives compared with traditional node-centric network representations.

This webinar series on the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) is about global and comparative population research. Sessions include measuring mental health, Covid-19, linking data, genetics, & migrant data.

Webinar 11:New CVFS Data on the Transition to Adulthood: Web Panel on Sensitive Topics and Hair-based Cortisol to Measure Stress
Wednesday, February 23, 2022
2-3pm EDT
Presenters: William Axinn, Dirgha Ghimire, Heather Gatny, Sabrina Hermosilla

During the 2021-2022 year CVFS is launching two innovative approaches to measurement of key experiences in the transition to adulthood. First, with support from an NICHD R01 to study the consequences of parental mental disorders on their children’s transitions to adulthood, CVFS is launching a new web-based panel survey of potentially sensitive topics, including sex, contraception, sexual assault, alcohol use, and substance use. Second, with support from an NICHD R21 CVFS will launch a large-scale collection and analysis of young adult respondent’s hair samples to measure biological indicators of chronic psychological stress.

The webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Registration is required to attend the webinar. Support provided by NICHD (R25 HD101358).

The Trouble with Passion: How Searching for Fulfillment at Work Fosters Inequality
Thursday, February 24 at 12pm ET via Zoom

Speaker: Erin Cech, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Michigan; Faculty Associate, Population Studies Center

“Follow your passion” is a popular mantra for career decision-making in the United States. In this talk, Cech will discuss her research on this ubiquitous cultural narrative that she call the “passion principle.” The passion principle is rooted in tensions between postindustrial capitalism and cultural norms of self-expression and is compelling to college-educated career aspirants and workers because passion is presumed to motivate the hard work required for success while providing opportunities for meaning and self-expression. Although passion-seeking seems like a promising option for individuals hoping to avoid drudgery in their labor force participation, she argues that the passion principle has a dark side: it reinforces socio-economic disadvantages and occupational segregation among career aspirants and workers in the aggregate and helps reproduce an exploited, overworked white-collar labor force. These findings have implications for cultural notions of “good work” popular in higher education and the US workforce and raises broader questions about what it means when becoming a dedicated labor force participant feels like an act of self-fulfillment.

Ipek Bilgen and Amelia Burke-Garcia - The Use of Advanced Social Media Targeting Methodology During Recruitment of Hard-to-Reach Audiences (March 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91859 91859-21683564@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science

The Use of Advanced Social Media Targeting Methodology During Recruitment of Hard-to-Reach Audiences
Ipek Bilgen and Amelia Burke-Garcia

One of the major benefits of social media ad-based survey recruitment is the use of various types of data to target ads to users of these platforms. To target users of social media, researchers can use the basic demographic and geographic that social media platforms currently provide, or they can use enhanced data that can be embedded within the social media platforms supplied by third party providers based on external data sources, e.g., historical purchase data. We will examine whether and how much this enhanced data can impact ad based social media recruitment capabilities to reach niche and hard-to-reach audiences.

To investigate the targeting efficiency, quality, and cost differences among these two approaches that can be used to target audiences within social media platforms, NORC piloted a strategic initiative research study in 2020. A web survey was constructed using existing items from national surveys on individual’s health and online habits, as well as new items related to life changes during the pandemic. Two main audience groups that are generally hard to recruit through probability-based studies were targeted – young adults, ages 18-24, and people with low education (defined as anyone who has completed high school as the highest level of education or lower). Five sets of tailored ads with unique URLs that linked to a web-based survey were designed and launched via Facebook and Instagram. Two sets used basic targeting to recruit the sample and the other three used the enhanced targeting. This brown bag will present the design of the study, our approach to the ads and targeting, and what we learned through our examination of the differences between the samples obtained from basic and advanced targeting on the dimensions of recruited sample composition, survey estimates, and recruitment costs.

Dr. Ipek Bilgen is a Senior Research Methodologist in the Methodology and Quantitative Social Sciences (MQSS) Department at NORC at the University of Chicago. Bilgen is AmeriSpeak Panel’s lead research methodologist. She also directs web and emerging technologies strategic initiative at NORC. She has over a decade of experience in applied survey methods and received both her Ph.D. and M.S. from the Survey Research and Methodology (SRAM) Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Bilgen has published and co-authored articles in Journal of Official Statistics, Public Opinion Quarterly, Survey Practice, Social Currents, Social Science Computer Review, Field Methods, SAGE Research Methods, and Quality and Quantity on issues related to interviewing methodology, web surveys, internet sampling and recruitment approaches, cognition and communication, and measurement error in surveys. Her current research investigates panel recruitment and retention, total survey error sources in probability-based online panels, the use of web and emerging technologies in surveys, and questionnaire design and survey implementation issues. Her research also examines studies related to the use of auxiliary data for improved efficiency in surveys that use address-based sampling (ABS) and active survey recruitment through social media and search engines.

Bilgen is currently serving as Associate Editor of Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ). In the past, she has served as an elected member of American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)’s Executive Council as Membership and Chapter Relations Chair. She has also served on Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research (MAPOR)’s Executive Council as President, Vice President, Conference Chair, and Secretary Treasurer.

Dr. Amelia Burke-Garcia is a seasoned health communications professional with nearly 20 years of experience in health communication program planning, implementation and evaluation, with specific expertise in developing and evaluating digital and social media communication and research. At NORC, she leads the organization's Digital Strategy and Outreach Program Area, where she designs, develops, and implements new digital and mobile data collection methodologies and communication solutions. Most recently, she acted as director for the award-winning How Right Now/Que Hacer Ahora campaign, which is aimed at increasing people’s ability to cope and be resilient amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. She currently leads two grants focused on exploring vaccine hesitancy amongst communities of color which build on her earlier work exploring messages and motivations of vaccine hesitant or refusing social media influencers (findings from which were published in Vaccine in 2020). Over the course of her career, Dr. Burke-Garcia has spearheaded some of the most innovative communication programs and studies on a variety of health topics including designing a targeted social media intervention with mommy bloggers to help social media users lower their risk for breast cancer and leveraging MeetUp groups and the Waze mobile application to move people to action around flu vaccination and HIV testing, respectively. She is the author of the book entitled, Influencing Health: A Comprehensive Guide to Working with Online Influencers and has been named to VeryWellHealth.com’s list of 10 Modern Female Innovators Shaking Up Health Care. She holds a PhD in Communication from George Mason University, a Master’s degree in Communication, Culture, and Technology from Georgetown University, and a joint honours Bachelor’s degree in International Development Studies and Humanistic Studies from McGill University.

What It Takes to Make a Word (Token) (March 10, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93184 93184-21701509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 10, 2022 6:00pm

What It Takes to Make a Word (Token)
Consider the following object, where, depending on how you are viewing this abstract, the object is likely a portion of a matrix of pixels through or from which light is emitted,
auge
Let’s call the object ‘Shape’. Is Shape a word token? If so, what word type is it a token of? Given how words are traditionally individuated (at least lexicographically), the Spanish, “auge”—meaning, apogee or peak—the French, “auge”—meaning, basin or bowl—and the German, “auge”—meaning, eye—are different words. They are chance false friends. The words have different etymologies, meanings, and canonical pronunciations and, thereby, are distinct word types, despite (by chance) being orthographically identical. So, if Shape is a word token (which we’ve yet to establish), is it a token of the Spanish, “auge”, the French, “auge”, the German, “auge”, or some combination of the three? Additionally, what grounds an answer to the previous question? Generalizing beyond Shape and matrices of pixels as a potential medium for word tokens,
(Central Question) When does something, x—e.g., some utterance, inscription, manual gesture, etc.—constitute a token of a word type, w, as opposed to some other word type, x*, or no word at all?
In this talk, I argue against a popular intentionalist answer to Central Question according to which (roughly put) something, x, constitutes a token of a word type, w, when one generates x with the intention to generate a token w (or a suitably similar intention). Given that word tokens are artifacts, the intentionalist answer to Central Question is indicative of a broader and widely held assumption in the literature on the metaphysics of artifacts, namely, that artifacts are intention-dependent—something, x, is an artifact of type, t, only if x was produced with the intention to produce an artifact of type t (Juvshik 2021).
As I demonstrate, intention has little to no role to play in an answer to Central Question or, more broadly, an account of artifacts. I argue that our (tacit) knowledge of how to perform various complex actions, like generating word tokens through speech, is not something that must be intentionally accessed, reasoned with, and utilized in governing behavior in some fully top-down intentional manner. We can exhibit a host of complex and context sensitive behavior that constitutes an exercise of our competence with/knowledge of how to act within an environment without intention playing an initiating, guiding, or sustaining role.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The class will use film segments to promote stimulating discussions about families. During each of five sessions we will discuss one of these films: "Avalon" (1990), "Eve's Bayou" (1997), "Smoke Signals" (1998), "Real Women Have Curves" (2002), and "The Big Sick" (2017).
Participants can view the whole film at home and/or ponder the discussion questions before each session. We will look at how each family's history, culture, and environment affect the interactions portrayed.
Instructor Arlene Weisz is a retired social worker and social work professor who enjoyed using films as part of teaching about families for about 20 years. This study group will meet Mondays beginning March 14 through April 11.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Functional MRI Lab

Abstract:

Advances in MRI’s instrumentation, data acquisition, and reconstruction algorithms have opened up exciting opportunities for dramatic gains in MR image encoding efficiency, particularly through the use of continuous volumetric data acquisition strategies. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the on-going research in my lab in developing technologies in this direction. The goal of our work has been in moving towards more precise MR imaging, or ‘precision MRI’, where the targets have been in achieving: i) rapid and comprehensive, high-resolution brain exam with a wealth of precise quantitative tissue parameters and multi-tissue compartment information, and ii) high-speed mesoscale structural and functional imaging of the brain, where the imaging can be done precisely, free of the typical distortion and blurring artifacts that have plagued standard EPI and spiral acquisitions.

You can attend in person: 4 p.m. Chemistry & Dow Willard H Laboratory (Central Campus), Room 1300.

Organized By: Eisenberg Family Depression Center

Supporting our youth means supporting their parents and caregivers. Parenting can be challenging under the best of circumstances. When a child, teenager, or young adult struggles with emotional, mental, or behavioral health problems, parenting can be overwhelming and isolating.

This event features a presentation by Natalie Burns, TRAILS Lead Suicide Prevention Specialist

During this virtual event, we will provide information that helps break down the stigma surrounding mental health and enables parents to recognize risk and warning signs, when to seek help, and how to best support their child. We will also discuss how to talk with your child about suicidal risk and ensure they are getting the care they need when they need it. Lastly, we will also provide tips and techniques for parental self-care and well-being.

Natalie Burns, LMSW, MA, has a master’s degree in Clinical Social work and Organizational Leadership. She is the Tier 3 Director and Suicide Prevention Specialist at TRAILS (Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students), a program committed to making effective mental health services accessible in all schools. Natalie has advanced intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

Natalie’s clinical interest and expertise focus on the assessment and treatment of suicidal youth, psychosocial interventions with children and families, and suicide prevention in K-12 schools. Additionally, she has a background in infant mental health and Perinatal Mood Disorders. Natalie also serves as a senior consultant for the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality where she trains mental health providers across US and internationally in suicide specific assessment and intervention. She maintains a small private practice focused on perinatal mood disorders/infertility and adolescents struggling with suicidality.

Our Errors are Invisible to Us (March 31, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94172 94172-21723570@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 31, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

This meeting will be in person at Angell Hall G168. Please fill out the RSVP form as we have limited capacity for in-person meetings.

Our Errors are Invisible to Us
Every judgment we make requires a second one--whether to be confident or hesitant about it. I discuss psychological research on the vagaries of reaching accurate confidence assessments of our judgments, in particular the intrinsic problem of anticipating when we are wrong. Our errors are often invisible to us because they don't look like errors at the time. Other people, however, have a better chance at spotting those errors than we do.

David Dunning is Professor at the University of Michigan and a social psychologist focusing primarily on the psychology underlying human misbelief. His most cited work shows that people hold flattering opinions of their character and competence that cannot be justified from objective evidence, work supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Templeton Foundation. An author of over 150 journal articles, book chapters, and general interest pieces, he is half of the team responsible for describing the infamous Dunning-Kruger effect, in which ignorance fails to recognize itself. He has served as president of both the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and the Society for the Science of Motivation. In 2016 he was awarded the Distinguished Lifetime Career Award from the International Society for Self and Identity, and has been a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. He holds a BA from Michigan State University and a PhD from Stanford University, both in psychology.

BRIGHT NIGHTS: Youth Mental Health – Supporting Parents to help their children and themselves (Virtual Event) (April 4, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93884 93884-21709222@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 4, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Family Depression Center

Supporting our youth means supporting their parents and caregivers. Parenting can be challenging under the best of circumstances. When a child, teenager, or young adult struggles with emotional, mental, or behavioral health problems, parenting can be overwhelming and isolating.

This event features a presentation by Natalie Burns, TRAILS Lead Suicide Prevention Specialist

During this virtual event, we will provide information that helps break down the stigma surrounding mental health and enables parents to recognize risk and warning signs, when to seek help, and how to best support their child. We will also discuss how to talk with your child about suicidal risk and ensure they are getting the care they need when they need it. Lastly, we will also provide tips and techniques for parental self-care and well-being.

Natalie Burns, LMSW, MA, has a master’s degree in Clinical Social work and Organizational Leadership. She is the Tier 3 Director and Suicide Prevention Specialist at TRAILS (Transforming Research into Action to Improve the Lives of Students), a program committed to making effective mental health services accessible in all schools. Natalie has advanced intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

Natalie’s clinical interest and expertise focus on the assessment and treatment of suicidal youth, psychosocial interventions with children and families, and suicide prevention in K-12 schools. Additionally, she has a background in infant mental health and Perinatal Mood Disorders. Natalie also serves as a senior consultant for the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality where she trains mental health providers across US and internationally in suicide specific assessment and intervention. She maintains a small private practice focused on perinatal mood disorders/infertility and adolescents struggling with suicidality.

Arnold Sameroff Lecture in Developmental Theory: Relationships and the Regulation of Stress in Human Development (April 6, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90135 90135-21668042@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 6, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Professor Gunnar will cover research exploring the regulation of stress physiology by relationship partners during human development. Beginning in infancy with the formation of attachment relationships the presence and availability of the attachment figure provides a powerful buffer of the mammalian stress system. This is observed in rodents, non-human primates and children. This lecture will consider how relationships buffer stress (or not) during childhood and the role that puberty may play in the shift in stress buffering from parental attachment figures to peers and later romantic relationship partners. Professor Gunnar will also consider how early neglect and deprivation may alter the course of the social regulation of stress physiology and the role this may play in the vulnerability and resilience of individuals to stressful life events.

Functional MRI 2021-22 Speaker Series with Katharine Thakkar, Ph.D. (April 12, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93931 93931-21710805@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 12, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Functional MRI Lab

Abstract:

The ability to make rapid behavioral adjustments is critical in a dynamic environment, and impaired action control is associated with several neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Rapid action modification and cancellation has been investigated using the stop-signal task and related paradigms. These paradigms require a fast response to a movement cue unless a subsequent signal is presented that instructs participants to inhibit or change the planned movement. Performance on these tasks is modeled as a race between competing STOP and GO processes, which permits an estimation of the time it takes to stop a prepared action—stop-signal reaction time. Using oculomotor versions of such tasks, nonhuman primate studies have investigated the cellular basis of reactive action control and performance monitoring. This body of neurophysiology work provides a firm basis from which to understand the brain circuits supporting reactive action control in humans. In this talk, I will present work that uses fMRI to examine the network involved in rapid cancellation, modification, and monitoring of gaze in humans. In addition, I will present a series of studies indicating reduced efficiency of action cancellation in individuals with schizophrenia that are related to symptoms and functional outcomes and more recent work demonstrating altered activation in a frontobasal network in individuals with schizophrenia while performing a modified oculomotor stop-signal task. Combined, this work provides a link between mechanisms of action control in humans and non-human primates and insights into potential mechanisms of inefficient action control in individuals with schizophrenia.

This course provides practical methods and tools to analyze complex survey data with a hands-on introduction to the use of specialized statistical software procedures. The course focuses on case studies with specific large-scale national surveys: the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication (NCS-R), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Relevant design features of the NCS-R, NHANES and HRS include survey weights that take into account differences in probability of selection into the sample and differences in response rates, as well as stratification and clustering in the multistage sampling procedures used in identifying the sampled households and individuals. After introducing essential concepts related to complex sample designs, the course will turn to the construction of survey weights, estimation of sampling variance, descriptive analysis, regression analysis, and finally special topics in the analysis of survey data. Participants can expect to work on homework exercises, computer lab exercises, and a final analysis project.

Why take this course?
- To gain an understanding of modern methods and software for the secondary analysis of survey data collected from large complex samples
- To have the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the instructors when walking through analyses of survey data
- To see various examples of applied statistical analyses of survey data
- To have the experience of writing a scientific paper that presents an analysis of complex sample survey data, and getting expert feedback on that paper.

Methods of Survey Sampling

Open for registration!

June 6 - July 29, 2022
10:00am-12:30pm EST
T/Th

A fundamental feature of many sample surveys is a probability sample of subjects. Probability sampling requires rigorous application of mathematical principles to the selection process. Methods of Survey Sampling is a moderately advanced course in applied statistics, with an emphasis on the practical problems of sample design, which provides students with an understanding of principles and practice in skills required to select subjects and analyze sample data. Topics covered include stratified, clustered, systematic, and multi-stage sample designs, unequal probabilities and probabilities proportional to size, area probability sampling, ratio means, sampling errors, frame problems, cost factors, and practical designs and procedures. Emphasis is on practical considerations rather than on theoretical derivations, although understanding of principles requires review of statistical results for sample surveys. The course includes an exercise that integrates the different techniques into a comprehensive sample design.

Why take this course?
- To understand the basic ideas, concepts and principles of probability sampling from an applied perspective
- To be able to identify and appropriately apply sampling techniques to survey design problems
- To be able to compute the sample size for a variety of sample designs
- To understand and be able to assess the impact of the sample design on survey estimates
- To learn how to design and select a probability sample involving complex sampling techniques in a survey project, and receive expert feedback on a sampling report

Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data

Open for registration!

June 6 - July 29, 2022
10:00am-12:00pm
M/W/F

This course provides practical methods and tools to analyze complex survey data with a hands-on introduction to the use of specialized statistical software procedures. The course focuses on case studies with specific large-scale national surveys: the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication (NCS-R), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Relevant design features of the NCS-R, NHANES and HRS include survey weights that take into account differences in probability of selection into the sample and differences in response rates, as well as stratification and clustering in the multistage sampling procedures used in identifying the sampled households and individuals. After introducing essential concepts related to complex sample designs, the course will turn to the construction of survey weights, estimation of sampling variance, descriptive analysis, regression analysis, and finally special topics in the analysis of survey data. Participants can expect to work on homework exercises, computer lab exercises, and a final analysis project.

Why take this course?
- To gain an understanding of modern methods and software for the secondary analysis of survey data collected from large complex samples
- To have the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the instructors when walking through analyses of survey data
- To see various examples of applied statistical analyses of survey data
- To have the experience of writing a scientific paper that presents an analysis of complex sample survey data, and getting expert feedback on that paper.

Course Hours: 3

Instructors: Brady T. West, Yajuan Si

Prerequisite: Two graduate-level courses in statistical methods, familiarity with basic sample design concepts, and familiarity with data analytic techniques such as linear and logistic regression.
