Women in Cognitive Science: Professional development and building networks

为认知科学领域的妇女，特别是处于学术生涯早期阶段的妇女设计了四个讲习班。重点将放在“冒名顶替者现象”上，这是一种内在的情感体验，即在智力和职业上都不合格，尽管客观证据表明情况恰恰相反。研究表明，这种现象很普遍，但女性比男性更容易经历这种现象。它的厌恶效应是有据可查的，这可能是在科学领域寻求职业生涯的一个重大心理障碍。研讨会的重点是谈判技巧，以创造机会和优化机制，以维持研究生产力。第二个重点是博士后、博士后和早期职业资助申请的撰写。这些讲习班将与心理学的四个主要科学会议同时举行，会议涉及广泛的地理区域(认知科学学会、心理计量学学会、心理科学协会和数学心理学会)。讲习班将采取公开论坛的形式，邀请发言者和小组成员就在个人和机构一级提高妇女在认知科学领域的专业地位的最佳做法展开讨论。通过与这些老牌学会合作，讲习班将最大限度地扩大对在认知科学高级学术职位上任职人数仍然不足的群体的外联潜力。

Four workshops are designed for women in cognitive science, especially women in the early stages of their academic career. The focus will be on the "imposter phenomenon," the internal emotional experience of not being qualified, both intellectually and professionally, despite objective evidence indicating the opposite. Research suggests that this phenomenon is widespread but is experienced more often by women than by men. Its well-documented aversive effects can be a significant psychological barrier to seeking a career in science. The workshops focus on negotiation techniques to create opportunities and optimize mechanisms to sustain research productivity. A second focus is on predoctoral, postdoctoral, and early career grant application writing. The workshops are to be held in conjunction with four major scientific meetings in Psychology, across a broad geographical area (the Cognitive Science Society, the Psychonomic Society, the Association for Psychological Science, and the Society for Mathematical Psychology). The workshops will take the form of a public forum with invited speaker-panelists to initiate discussion about best practices for the professional advancement of women in cognitive science at the individual and institutional level. By partnering with these established societies, the workshops will maximize the outreach potential to a group that continues to be underrepresented in senior academic positions in the cognitive sciences.
