Posters presented during this session should highlight an important figure, topic, or discovery in the field of psychology. Posters should describe the subject of the presentation, but also demonstrate its importance. This session is sponsored by the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology in Akron, OH (current home of Milgram's Shock Generator, Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment artifacts, one of Bandura's original Bobo Dolls, as well as the archives of American Psychology).
Psychology In Film posters should present a critical analysis of an example of the science of psychology being presented in film. Submissions will be judged by quality of the analysis, and potential for sparking interest in the topic.
Research posters should include a description of research proposed or completed by the author(s). Submissions will be judged by quality of research design, appropriateness of analyses used, and potential for sparking interest in future research. Preference will be given to research not previously submitted elsewhere (although previous presentation of the work will not disqualify the proposal).
Thank you for your interest in presenting your poster at the 2023 Central Florida Psychology Summit. Please click the button below to submit your poster proposal. Acceptance decisions will be made on a rolling basis, so all available spaces may be filled before the deadline passes (4/7/23). Therefore, it is in your best interest to submit early. Late submissions will be considered if space is available. Only the first author will be informed of the acceptance or non-acceptance of their poster submission. It is the first author's responsibility to inform other authors of the decision. In order to present, an author must be registered for the summit. Due to space limitations, a poster may have its acceptance rescinded (and awarded to another poster) if none of its authors are registered for the summit by 4/13/23.
The due date for submissions is 4/7/23.
Submissions must include an abstract of no more than 50 words.
POSTER GUIDELINES:
For research posters, you may want to try using the format proposed in this video:
...or go the traditional route:
Adapted from the Association for Psychological Science:
Posters offer the opportunity to present data and have substantive discussions with interested colleagues. The audience circulates among the posters, stopping to discuss research of particular interest to them. Authors present their research using a visual medium with key information displayed on a poster attached to a 30" x 40" foam board (portrait or landscape orientation is fine), resting on an easel. Foam boards, easels, and push pins will be provided.
Poster presentations should incorporate illustrative materials such as tables, graphs, photographs, and large-print text, and materials should be clearly readable from a distance of three feet (primary text font should be 20 points or larger, and headings font at least 30 points).
Poster titles should be descriptive and, when possible, indicate the important result (e.g., lesions of frontal cortex disrupt divided attention) rather than the experimental question or topic area (e.g., frontal cortex and divided attention). First-time submitters also are encouraged to seek feedback from professors or other mentors who are able to provide guidance regarding their presentation.
