SIOP 2015: Live Blog Archive
2015 April 29
The 2015 Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology conference has concluded, and I am honestly still reeling a bit! Below is an archive of my Twitter activity during the conference (much like I did last year), which includes a variety of both between- and mid-session tweets. I don’t know if this is useful to anyone but me, but I’ll be using this plus the notes I took during the conference to form more complete reactions which I’ll be posting in about a week. For now, I’ve bolded the tweets that I think captured something particularly meaningful I experienced during the conference and want to think more about.

| 14:31:17 | NeoAcademic: SIOP 2015: Schedule Planning for Big Data, Mobile, and Gamification (http://t.co/9FUtpT2zwo) #SIOP #siop15 |
| 15:58:57 | @ericknud Glad to help! There is certainly plenty to choose from this year. |
| Wednesday April 22 | |
| 02:19:44 | Yes, gonna be great!! @BelindaK04 @kevinimpelman @chloelemelle @JohnMuros @SIOPtweets |
| 02:23:35 | Is @mubrewery where you find MEANing at the bottom of every pint?!? *rimshot* @BelindaK04 @kevinimpelman @chloelemelle @JohnMuros |
| 02:26:32 | I think #siop2015 tweeters are just outing themselves at first time #siop tweeters – show the newcomers some love, #siop15 |
| Thursday April 23 | |
| 13:35:47 | #siop15 starting high energy at the opening plenary! |
| 13:39:34 | Not sure how I feel about these new opening plenary production values #siop15 |
| 13:48:57 | Congrats to ODU’s own Debra Major on her #siop15 award!! |
| 13:57:32 | A standing ovation for Frank Schmidt, who doesn’t sound all that retired #siop15 |
| 14:04:11 | Is this narrator the same guy that does museum videos? #siop15 |
| 14:14:23 | I’m liking Hakel’s speed-slide approach #siop15 |
| 14:28:19 | RT: “Nobody likes losing to a former grad student -Steve Kozlowski #SIOP15” |
| 14:48:26 | Too many old timers set in their ways for a quick Revolucion, but I am curious and hopeful for how far Cortina will get #siop15 |
| 15:43:03 | Hearing about tech and IO – we are often trailing and research moves too slowly #siop15 |
| 15:58:39 | “Just don’t do what the client wants” is a kind of clueless advice given to practitioners that harms academic trustworthiness #siop15 |
| 16:17:52 | Another disconnect between IOs and tech folks – not understanding limitations of SaaS in terms of customization #siop15 |
| 16:49:29 | When someone says anything IO is part science part art, I only agree if art is defined as “science we haven’t done yet” #siop15 #techandIO |
| 17:13:13 | There is little worse to watch than a low energy, falling over themselves IGNITE #doesntliketrainwrecks #siop15 |
| 23:56:04 | Sort of odd to realize that the opening plenary was the time I’ll be most awake for all of #SIOP15 |
| Friday April 24 | |
| 05:12:00 | The midnight #siop15 question as always: would that 8am session be worth it? |
| 14:18:33 | Had a dream that I accidentally missed an 8am #siop15 session and then accidentally missed an 8am #siop15 session #thematrix |
| 14:30:12 | Great #siop15 IGNITE overview of assessment games and simulation by @WorkPsy |
| 14:35:12 | @Kdooley85 @WorkPsy Seems to be a vast untapped behavioral assessment landscape! |
| 14:40:29 | Call for IOs to be more involved in tech initiatives related to learning by @TRPoeppelman at #siop15 – don’t let tech ignore the human |
| 14:47:20 | @neilmorelli very excited about mobile potential; tech frameworks are a great idea but I’ve had our journals say “this isn’t psych”! #siop15 |
| 17:16:20 | Big Data COI discrepant definitions of Big Data… Reflecting disagreements at all levels… “dust bowl empiricism” mentioned too #siop15 |
| 17:52:05 | RT: “I-O psychology should devote focus to testing established theories, but top-tier journals only want “interesting” and “new” theories #SIOP15″ |
| 18:54:48 | Time to harness the power of text! #siop15 |
| 19:00:39 | @mayamansour_ Completing your own projects successfully doesn’t mean you can lead others well. Just look at many professors!! #siop15 |
| 19:01:33 | RT: “If you missed out on this 2-for-1 deal today, shoot me a message and I’ll send you the papers! #gamification #SIOP15 http://t.co/6SCsAKjBOr” |
| 19:05:46 | Important to get a “feel” for text data; easy to mislead yourself if you rely on summaries…but that means we need better summaries #siop15 |
| 19:28:39 | A #siop15 gift to me: I found out that I’ve been tenured at #ODU! |
| 19:45:13 | @Aaron_Kraus Thank you! |
| 19:46:25 | @ericknud Ha! That is a game I could have played much better!! |
| 19:51:08 | RT: “@rnlanders Congrats! I would have made sure to go to #SIOP15 if I knew one of the pieces of swag was tenure!” |
| Saturday April 25 | |
| 00:01:15 | In some ways, the reverse-escalator pass-by is the ideal #siop15 meeting |
| 13:10:37 | @AlSchwall Thanks! We have that distinction in stats too – some learn the nuts and bolts, others apply. Both can be useful. |
| 13:11:00 | @PsychoSoAnt thanks! |
| 13:11:51 | @nojope Thank you! It has been an interesting ride. |
| 13:13:48 | Side effect of #siop15 8am sessions: no mad assault on the coffee and pastry tables #stillnotworthit |
| 13:16:50 | RT: “Coming up next: Game-Thinking in Assessment. Room 309-310 from 9-10 AM. #SIOP15 @rnlanders http://t.co/SWPbH2p1nZ” |
| 13:40:12 | Video presenter is defining #gamification quite narrowly… multiple very specific features… Maybe useful but required? #siop15 |
| 13:40:58 | Goal of learning game is not necessarily to teach but to change learning culture… Interesting challenge #siop15 |
| 13:42:44 | @IOSyIslam Been teaching programming to IO grad students for about 5 years now… Ahead of the curve I guess! #siop15 |
| 15:48:01 | Being IGNITEd about research in organizations… Or maybe, about moving beyond it #siop15 |
| 17:34:06 | @StefaniYorges So we did! The small world that is IO, right? Thanks so much!! |
| 17:46:49 | RT: “So who else is going to miss being able to stop at Reading Terminal Market for lunch? #SIOP15” |
| 17:48:35 | Still have same problems with social media selection… You can’t unsee gender, religion, etc from a casual profile review #siop15 |
| 17:49:24 | @drb8618 “nerd” is a badge of honor at #siop15, right? |
| 17:50:15 | @SIOPtweets Thanks!! |
| 17:53:50 | Someone in a #siop15 audience, in university hiring, recruiting on Facebook led to a drop in applications among Millennials #creepfactor |
| 18:11:53 | IOs don’t need to be experts in everything, but we ARE experts in selecting experts – and that is a strength to play to re: tech #siop15 |
| 19:05:30 | @nojope I mentioned that at the session actually – I call it sanitization – could be done well, but sanitizing rules aren’t clear yet |
| 19:06:09 | @nojope e.g. what if a person uses race-signaling language or talking about stereotypical activities? Probably wouldn’t be screened |
| 19:08:12 | Lack of assessment mobile optimization seems to affect early dropout rate #siop15 |
| 19:09:02 | AND time to completion on mobile is longer – paradox here? Do people want to save time with mobile but actually do the opposite? #siop15 |
| 21:48:04 | #siop15 closing plenary takeaway: I really should have gone into painting and selling colored circles |
| Sunday April 26 | |
| 15:20:55 | RT: “Apparently I decided to leave my voice in Philly. So long #SIOP15!” |
