The Benefits of Attending the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS): The Role of Research Confidence

Cell Biology Education, 2016

Juniors, seniors, and postbaccalaureates who attended ABRCMS during 2008-2011 were emailed a link to an online questionnaire in which they reported their experiences at the conference. Attendees reported many ABRCMS-provided benefits. Frequency of attending or presenting at ABRCMS is positively related to science self-efficacy, research confidence, sense of belonging in science, and intentions to pursue a research degree in graduate school. Increased research confidence predicts graduate school plans and intentions for a research career in science; however, men were slightly more likely to intend to pursue a research career than women, likely due to higher research confidence. Although all attendees benefited from ABRCMS, underrepresented minority (URM) students had higher science self-efficacy and sense of belonging in science after attending ABRCMS than non-URM students. This finding demonstrates the effectiveness of ABRCMS as an intervention to increase the representation and success of URMs in science. Results highlight the importance of attending a minority-oriented research conference where URMs can develop their science self-efficacy, research confidence, and sense of belonging in science. However, changes to the conference and undergraduate research experiences may be necessary to reduce gender gaps.

Principles for quality undergraduate education in psychology

American Psychologist, 2011

As members of the Steering Committee for the 2008 National Conference on Undergraduate Education ... more As members of the Steering Committee for the 2008 National Conference on Undergraduate Education in Psychology, we realize that the future of our discipline depends on quality undergraduate programs that prepare students for advanced study in psychology. Our concern with quality education in psychology extends far beyond the future of the discipline. Psychology continues to be one of the most popular majors on college campuses, but most undergraduate psychology majors do not pursue graduate study in psychology. They select psychology as their major because they are interested in the subject and they believe that a major in psychology will provide them with the knowledge, skills, and values they will need to enter and succeed in the workforce and to thrive in their daily lives. Our recommendations for quality principles for undergraduate education in psychology are designed to ensure that psychology students are prepared for the challenges they will These principles and recommendations do not constitute the policies of the American Psychological Association (APA) or commit APA to the activities described herein.
