SIOP 2012: Day 3 Live-Blog
The third day had a good amount of coverage on technology-driven assessment. Our social media symposium was in the middle of the day, so there’s a little gap there. Wrap-up incoming soon!

| 7:59 AM | NeoAcademic: SIOP 2012: Day 3 Live-Blog (http://t.co/2xu5rnwM) #siop12 | |
| 8:23 AM | Off to an 8:30AM session at #siop12 – really curious what attendance will look like! | |
| 8:42 AM | At Assessing video resums at #siop12 | |
| 8:50 AM | Extraction and narcissism predict attitudes toward video resumes, but not behavior #siop12 | |
| 9:04 AM | Ethnic minorities perceive video resumes as being more fair #siop12 | |
| 9:05 AM | Video resumes as being more fair than paper, but disappears when controlling for education (more education = paper more fair) #siop12 | |
| 9:07 AM | When applicant accent is strong in vid resumes, low prejudice reviewers rate job suitability much higher, not clear why #siop12 | |
| 9:12 AM | Self promotion in vid resumes may result in lower evaluation of applicant (less credible, more manipulative and annoying) #siop12 | |
| 9:18 AM | Men negatively view women in vid resumes when they engage in self promotion (violating gender norms) #siop12 | |
| 9:33 AM | Our #siop12 symposium on social media is coming up at 10:30 in Elizabeth H – come on by! | |
| 9:36 AM | @K_Anderson_Eval all vid resume presenters seem to indicate they are at the cutting edge, not much if any published work #siop12 #siop | |
| 10:38 AM | Nearly 100 people at our social media symposium in Elizabeth H! #siop12 http://t.co/MC6rYL8Y | |
| 12:13 PM | Ended up with over 125 attendees and a flood of questions! Running to next session on future of IO as an academic discipline #siop12 | |
| 12:24 PM | @budworth several touched on the idea in symposium 229 – I think you might want to contact Annemarie Hiemstra or Marie Waung #siop12 | |
| 12:31 PM | Some concern from panel about losing IO people to business schools, more career opps in business schools so more attractive #siop12 | |
| 1:36 PM | Saw fascinating poster on progress bars on web surveys – short answer: USE THEM; increases focus and enjoyment #siop12 | |
| 1:47 PM | At presentation on how to create homegrown tech for accomplishing IO objectives – sounds familiar! #siop12 | |
| 1:53 PM | People of any level of tech expertise can start learning tech skills useful to IO; Excel is good entry point #siop12 | |
| 2:16 PM | MTurk workers useful for small practitioner jobs – pay $.25 per response for pilot study work #siop12 | |
| 4:34 PM | Met with collaborators and now with several thousand psychologists to listen to talk by Albert Bandura #psychology #siop12 | |
| 4:38 PM | Bandura speaks! #siop12 #psychology http://t.co/ZXa6H2BL | |
| 4:49 PM | Interesting idea by Bandura: individuals as coauthors of action with environment and behavior #siop12 #psychology | |
| 7:35 PM | So ends #siop12 – safe travels everyone! | |
Please share an overview of Bandura presentation. What a cool opportunity!
It was really a broad survey of his research on social learning and self-efficacy, starting all the way back at the roots (Bobo doll). Usually SIOP keynoters try to apply it back to I/O, but he didn’t do that much – it was actually the most research-driven keynote I think I’ve ever heard at SIOP. Although he did tell a surprising number of jokes…
Do you recall the other technical skills useful to learn for I/O? I agree that Excel is a good start! I’m having an intern start next month who I believe wants to go into I/O so I want to give him a good start for his application by working with him this summer!
That presentation was actually about learning “just enough programming” to make I/O processes more efficient. They went through several examples – building an automatic survey designer and a few other things. The recommendation was actually to start with Excel formulas, move to Excel macros, and then to learn Visual Basic to run behind Access.
Sounds familiar 🙂
