Dynamic models: analyzing policy and public opinion, with Dr. Harold Clarke & Dr. Guy Whitten.
This workshop teaches students how to conduct dynamic analyses of social, economic and political data. The workshop focuses on time series methods for studying public policy interventions and policy outcomes. Beginning with multiple regression analysis, the course considers ARIMA models for policy interventions and forecasting, error correction and VAR models for analyzing dynamic interrelationships in time series data and ARCH models of volatility and risk. These techniques are valuable research tools for academic researchers in the social sciences and analysts in the public and private sectors. The workshop emphasizes practical applications with real data and students will learn how to use the Stata, R and RATS statistical software packages in their research. Students are invited to bring their own data sets to lab sessions.

Get mad not sad: Parental rejection, attachment, and the development of emotion regulation in individuals with psychopathic traits
A presentation of research on incarcerated adults and antisocial youth, and a model of how severe antisocial behavior may develop.
Dr. David Kosson obtained his PhD from the University of Wisconsin - Madison after completion of an internship at the SUNY Health Sciences Center in Syracuse, New York. He subsequently worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro from 1990 to 1994, and joined the Department of Psychology at Rosalind Franklin University in 1994, where he is now full professor. His research interests focus on the emotional, cognitive, and psychophysiological correlates of severe antisocial behavior and psychopathy in adult and adolescent samples. His current research focuses on the development and etiology of early precursors of psychopathy in childhood.
