Conference on Reproductive Psychophysiology

描述（由申请人修改）：为期四天的生殖心理生理学会议拟于2003年7月12日至15日在布卢明顿印第安纳大学印第安纳纪念联盟酒店和会议中心举行。该会议是有史以来第一次以该主题组织的会议，其主要目标是将研究人员聚集在一起，介绍他们研究的最新综述，讨论概念和方法方法的共同点和差异，并为未来的研究提出方向。第二个目标是在心理生理测量和分析过程中达成共识。这次会议将讨论对生殖健康和功能至关重要的心理、生理和行为过程，并将审查这些过程的相互作用。目的是评估我们对相关机制和过程的理解，评估这种理解在多大程度上允许我们预测和解释性问题、偏好、行为功能，并确定对未来研究重要的问题和主题。会议将由两部分组成：科学会议（7月13日至15日）和会前方法论研讨会（7月12日）。会议将仅限于受邀的与会者。除了约25名专家组成的小组外，我们还将邀请大约5名研究生作为演讲者，以及从更大的申请者中选出的3名本科生或研究生。所有的讨论将被记录，转录和编辑出版，连同演讲论文，作为一个专著。此外，会前研讨会的选定成员将共同制定和发布心理生理测量指南。

DESCRIPTION (revised by applicant): A four-day conference on reproductive psychophysiology is proposed to be held from July 12 - 15, 2003 at the Indiana Memorial Union Hotel & Conference Center, Indiana University, Bloomington. The main goal of the conference, the first ever to be organized on this topic, is to bring together researchers in to present up-to-date reviews of their research, to discuss commonalities and differences in conceptual and methodological approaches, and to suggest directions for future research. A secondary goal is to work towards a consensus in psychophysiological measurement and analysis procedures. This conference will address psychological, physiological and behavioral processes of critical importance to reproductive health and functioning, and will examine the interactions of these processes. The objective is to evaluate our understanding of relevant mechanisms and processes, to assess the extent to which this understanding allows us to predict and explain sexual problems, preferences, behavioral functioning, and to identify issues and topics important for future research. The conference will consist of two parts: a scientific meeting (July 13 - 15) and a pre-conference methodology workshop (July 12). The meeting will be restricted to invited participants. In addition to a panel of about 25 experts, we will invite approximately five graduate students to participate as speakers, as well as three undergraduate or graduate students who will be selected from a larger pool of applicants. All discussions will be recorded, transcribed and edited for publication, together with the presentation papers, as a monograph. In addition, selected members of the pre-conference workshop will work together to formulate and publish guidelines for psychophysiological measurement.
