The Psychology and Sociology departments at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), proudly announce the launch of their Journal of the Behavioral Sciences at the following address at http://psychology.cse.edu/Journal.  

The purpose of the journal is to publish undergraduate and graduate student research in the fields of Psychology, Sociology and other related social and behavioral sciences. The research publication is managed and reviewed by both CSE students and faculty, and is accessible to the general public.

CSE Psychology Chair and Associate Professor Herman Huber depicts that the journal “provides a venue for students to publish the excellent work that they do in various classes, especially senior research seminar,” he said.  “There are very few journals for student research.  Now we have one here at the College.” 

Two of the articles included in Vol. 1, Fall 2007 are “The Relationship Between Being in a Committed Relationship and Academic Performance in College Females” written by  Tania Jimenez, ’05, and Ashley Tatem, ’05, and “Aggressive Play: Contributing Factors of Parental Roles on 3-6 Year Old Boys” written by Maria McCusker, ’05, and Stacy Van Doren, ’05.

According Dr. Huber, a contest is in the works for high school students in New Jersey to submit articles.  Articles must be submitted in APA format. The winning article will be published in the Vol. 2, Fall 2008 edition of the College’s journal.

For more information, contact Editor-in-Chief and CSE Psychology professor, Dr. Patricia Heindel, at (973) 290-4105 or pheindel@cse.edu.
