Would you mind forwarding along the following message to the graduate students in your department? I received your email address through the APA "Graduate Study in Psychology" book. If there is someone else I should have contacted about this matter, please let me know. Thank you for your assistance, Mathew Curtis. Hello, Have you ever wondered how you compare to other graduate students in terms of number of publications, posters, level of stress or debt, etc.? We are conducting a nationwide survey of graduate students to find out about graduate school experiences across the different years in programs (e.g., 1st year, 2nd year, etc). The study is being conducted by researchers in the Psychology Department at the University of Southern California. The survey is anonymous and confidential. No identifying information will be collected. The entire survey is 1 page and takes five minutes. One interesting aspect of the study is that you can immediately see the results collected to date on the last page of the survey, both for your area (e.g., Clinical, Developmental, Social, etc) and the field as a whole.
