Abstract
Introduction: Listening to Graduate Students
Discussion Session
1.What were some of your more significant failures, and how did you deal with them?
2.It has recently been reported that one half of all psychologists who receive a
research degree go on to nonacademic settings. Given that many still believe that success is defined by an academic appointment in a research university, what implications does the fact that half pursue nontraditional careers have for the traditional criteria of success or failure? Do our conceptions of success need to be changed? What can be done to acknowledge the value of such nontraditional careers?
3.How do you balance your professional and personal lives?
4.How do you keep up with the volume of literature given that we are an expanding field and it is quite difficult to stay current?
5.Problems seem to expand as we delve further into them. Given this, at what point do you know that you have enough to publish or at least submit for publication?
6.If you could change anything in the field of psychology, what would it be and why?
7.How have your research interests changed since you were in graduate school?
8.Who was your mentor, how do you pursue your own mentoring role, and what are some of the issues that arise in pursuing that role?
9.What kinds of problems did you have while a graduate student, and how were you able to overcome them?
