Electronic abstracts for
the 2008 APA Annual Meeting in Chicago

 

Abstracts of PAPERS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED FOR PRESENTATION AT THE 2008 ANNUAL MEETING may be submitted directly to the APA web site editor for electronic publication: robin@temple.edu

Please do not send paper abstracts to him.

Please read and follow these directions carefully. Submissions that do not follow the instructions outlined below will be returned to their authors.

  1. Abstracts again will be published electronically this year as PDF files. This will save the web editor much time and energy, and it will allow for Greek characters to be written in the abstracts and read with no special software. The web editor can easily convert files to PDF. Abstracts may thus be submitted either as word-processing document files (Word or RTF), or as PDF files. Mac users in OSX can easily convert their files to PDF by click, in the Print Command window, the "Save as PDF" button. In Windows you can create a pdf-file very easily by downloading a (free!) version of a programme named Pdf995 on www.pdf995.com. Once you have installed this free programme, you open the word-document and go to print. Within the print-menu you go to the button you can select a printer with. If the programme has been installed properly, 'pdf995' is one of the options now. If you select this 'printer', your computer converts the word-document into a pdf-file within a few seconds.
  2. Please title your abstract files with your LAST NAME. Not as your paper title, not as "APAABSTRACT" but with just your last name; e.g. superman.pdf
  3. Your name and paper title should also be at the top of the abstract itself.
  4. Please include the title of your paper inside the body of your email message. This allows the editor to cut and paste your information into the index, thus accelerating the processing of your abstract while also minimizing errors.
  5. E-mail the file as an attachment to Robin Mitchell-Boyask (robin@temple.edu)
  6. Please proofread your abstract carefully before you send it. The Editor of the Web Site may, at his discretion, refuse to post resubmitted abstracts

Relatively stable links to longer versions of the paper, on-line articles, and author information (including e-mail address) are welcome.
