 Page 1: Basic Information
     1. Basic information
        a. Title 
        b. Area (e.g. cognitive, developmental, social, clinical, I/O)
        c. Student authors and institutions
        d. First author's address, phone, and e-mail
        e. Are you a Psi Chi member? Yes/No

     2. Faculty Advisor (if applicable)
        a. Name of faculty advisor
        b. Faculty advisor's address, phone, and e-mail     
 Page 2: Short Abstract (50 words or less)
     1. The title using upper- and lowercase followed by a period. (Capitalize first letters only, but do not capitalize conjunctions, articles, or short prepositions. Capitalize all words of four letters or more.)
     2. The author's names in ALL CAPS with commas between all entries and an ampersand (&) between the penultimate and last entry. (These should be the student(s) who conducted the research, not the faculty sponsor.) Put institutional affiliation after authors' names (unless each author has a different affiliation, in which case put the proper affiliation after each name). The institution is typed in upper- and lowercase.
     3. The faculty sponsor's name in parentheses, followed by a comma and the words "Faculty Sponsor".
     4. The short abstract.
     5. Example: The Effect of Schema-Incongruent Information on Impression Formation and Affect. STACY STIFFLER, KRISTEN HEALY, & RYAN ANDERSON, John Carroll University (John H. Yost, Faculty Sponsor) The effect of schema-incongruent information on impression formation was investigated in the present study. As predicted, participants engaged in recategorization when confronted with schema-incongruent information and provided evidence for the negativity bias by assigning greater weight to negative-inconsistent information.
 Page 3: Long Abstract (400 words or less)
     Include an abstract not to exceed 400 words. In addition to the abstract, one page of references and/or tables/figures (if needed) may be submitted. The tables, figures, or references do not count toward the 400-word total. If only references are included, they can be placed at the bottom of the abstract if space allows or included on an extra page. Use the following format:      
      Title of Submission
        Area (e.g. cognitive, developmental, social, clinical)
        Long Abstract (double-spaced), addressing:
        -problem or major purpose
        -procedure
        -results (to date) or expected results
        -references, tables, figures if needed
      Do not include author's names or affiliations on this page. This is the page that will be sent out for (masked) review.
