Date: April 14, 2011
Creator: Nixon, James A.; LaBrie, Brenton & Jenkins, Sharon Rae
Description: For this presentation, the author presents on study which examined social understanding, defined as better attention to others' viewpoints, using a storytelling technique. The Interpersonal Decentering scoring system was applied to adult Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) stories from the Guidance study (GS) and Oakland Growth study (OGS) of the Institute of Human Development (IHD) longitudinal studies. GS participants' adult California Psychological Inventory (CPI) for Self-acceptance and Social Presence (positively) and Socialization (negatively) scores were related to Decentering scores, as were Adult Q-Sort scores. The cohorts differed on support for Interpersonal Decentering as a measure of social understanding.

Anomalously Blue Elliptical Galaxies in the Sloan Survey
Date: March 31, 2005
Creator: Mitchell, Curtis; Fanelli, Mike; Marcum, Pam & Aars, Christian
Description: This presentation discusses research on the characteristics of blue elliptical galaxies. This presentation explores star-forming systems, blue galaxies, and the origin of ellipticals. The authors will use the SDSS to search for blue ellipticals. SDSS will provide ID, redshifts, images, and spectra for up to a million galaxies. The authors will look for objects meeting the blueness and shape criteria.
