Student Achievement

I would like to mention that three of our Advance Placement Psychology students have been published in the Winter 2012 Whitman Journal. This psychology journal is a nationally recognized forum in which student conducted research is recognized. Jon Washburn and Eric Gerber did a study on the effect of gender on driving aggression finding that males engaged in more aggressive driving behaviors than females. Alex Sokoll did a study on group polarization (the tendency for our opinions to strengthen after discussion. Alex used his debate class to collect data and write his findings.

Both articles can be found at http://www.whitmanpsych.com/images/winter%202012%20final.pdf

We congratulate all three students along with their teacher Stacey Oddi.
