TRAINING PROGRAM IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

俄亥俄州的社会心理学研究生培训项目为全国提供了新的博士学位。已经30多年了它是由一组八（很快将是十）全职教师的主要隶属关系是与该计划的指导。社会问题越来越多地源于典型的人在典型的环境中所面临的困境和诱惑。吸毒、员工缺勤、家庭暴力、不良饮食选择、吸烟、酒后驾车都说明了社会心理学理论和研究所关注的问题。俄亥俄州的社会项目为学生提供研究培训，使他们能够在整个研究生涯中解决这些问题。该计划有四个特点，区别于其他培训中心的社会心理学。首先，该计划采用多层次的综合方法对研究生培养。社会中的问题是由多种因素决定的，解决这些问题的办法必须以这种认识为基础。博士前和博士后培训部分旨在使学生掌握从多个层次分析研究社会心理现象所需的概念和方法工具。其次，该计划围绕五个核心原则组织：科学能力，奖学金和科学诚信，个人责任，优先设置和每个学生的主权。这些原则是通过课程，研究活动和指导计划的结构操作。第三，该计划提供了基础和应用研究培训之间的综合和协同关系。通过他们的研究参与，学生们学习到没有什么比一个好的理论更实用，也没有什么比一个令人困惑的实际问题更能培养一个好的理论。第四，也是最后，该计划是由学生和教师的质量和合议的区别。教师和学生是高知名度，开创性的贡献者的领域。社会心理学培训计划的培训补助金（支持博士前和博士后学员）将大大促进该计划为该领域提供学者的能力，这些学者具有解决当今社会个人面临的实际问题所需的多层次分析技能。

The social psychology graduate training program at Ohio State has been providing the nation with new Ph.D.'s for over 30 years. It is guided by a group of eight (and soon to be ten) fulltime faculty whose primary affiliation is with the program. Societal problems derive more and more from the dilemmas and temptations faced by typical people in typical settings. Drug use, employee absenteeism, domestic violence, poor diet choices, smoking, and drinking and driving all illustrate the kinds of concerns addressed by theory and research in social psychology. The social program at Ohio State offers its students research training enabling them to tackle such problems throughout their research careers. The program has four features that distinguish it from other training centers in social psychology. First, the program adopts a multi-level integrative approach toward graduate training. Problems in society are multiply determined, and their solutions must be based on that recognition. Pre- and postdoctoral training components are designed to equip students with the conceptual and methodological tools required to examine social psychological phenomena from multiple levels of analysis. Second, the program is organized around five core principles: scientific competence, scholarship and scientific integrity, personal responsibility, priority setting, and the sovereignty of each student. These principles are operationalized through the structure of coursework, research activities, and mentoring in the program. Third, the program provides an integrated and synergistic relationship between training in basic and applied research. Through their research involvement, students learn both that there is nothing so practical as a good theory and that nothing fosters a good theory more than a perplexing practical problem. Fourth, and finally, the program is distinguished by the quality and collegiality of both students and faculty. Faculty and students are high visibility, seminal contributors to the field. A training grant (that supports both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees) for the social psychology training program will substantially facilitate the program's ability to contribute scholars to the field with the multi-level analytic skills needed to address the practical problems faced by individuals in today's society.
