什么是Psi气?
Psi气 是 Association of College Honor Societies 它是 American Psychological Association (APA) 和 Association for Psychological Science (APS). Psi气's sister honor society is Psiβ, the national honor society in psychology for community and junior colleges.
Psi气 functions as a federation of chapters located at 1,000 senior colleges and universities in the USA. The National Office is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. 全国委员会, composed of psychologists who are Psi气 members and who are elected by the chapters, guides the affairs of the organization and sets policy with the approval of the chapters.
Psi气 serves two major goals--one immediate and visibly rewarding to the individual member, the other slower and more difficult to accomplish, but offering greater rewards in the long run. The first of these is the Society's obligation to provide academic recognition to its inductees by the mere fact of membership. The second goal is the obligation of each of the Society's local chapters to nurture the spark of that accomplishment by offering a climate congenial to its creative development. 例如, the chapters make active attempts to nourish and stimulate professional growth through programs designed to augment and enhance the regular curriculum and to provide practical experience and fellowship through affiliation with the chapter. 除了, the national organization provides programs to help achieve these goals, including national and regional conventions held annually in conjunction with the psychological associations, 研究奖励比赛, and certificate recognition programs.
The Society publishes a quarterly magazine, 关注Psi气, which helps to unite the members, inform them and recognize their contributions and accomplishments.
的季度 Psi气 Journal of 本科研究, fosters and rewards the scholarly efforts of undergraduate psychology students and provides a valuable learning experience by introducing them to the publishing and review process.
学生s become members by joining the chapter at the school where they are enrolled. Psi气 chapters are operated by student officers and faculty advisors. Together they select and induct the members and carry out the goals of the Society. All chapters register their inductees at the National Office, where the membership records are preserved for reference purposes. The total number of memberships preserved at the national office during the first 73 years is over 422,000. Many of these members have gone on to distinguished careers in psychology.
