Graduate Student seeks assistance concerning "making decisions in employment discrimination cases involving personnel selection procedures"

Graduate Student seeks assistance concerning "making decisions in employment discrimination cases involving personnel selection procedures"

Erica Drew, a graduate student at Florida International University, is collecting data for her Masters Thesis. This research is being supervised by Dr. Vish C. Viswesvaran, Director of the Industrial/Organizational Psychology Program at FIU.

Ms. Drew has asked that NYPPL post the following notice in an effort to assist her in obtaining an appropriate survey population for her study:

"The purpose of this research is to gain perspective on how attorneys make decisions in employment discrimination cases involving personnel selection procedures. I hope that this research will inform organizations, practitioners, and attorneys of selection procedure best practices.

"If you decide to participate, you will be asked to read a short vignette and complete a questionnaire. No identifying information will be collected, so rest assured your identity will remain anonymous. This study should take about 15 minutes of your time.



"If you are willing to participate please click the link below. Thank you for your time and I sincerely hope you will consider participating! If you have any questions or would like the results of this study sent to you, please contact me at edrew001@fiu.edu."

Ms. Drew notes that "IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE YOU MUST BE A 3RD YEAR LAW STUDENT OR A PRACTICING ATTORNEY WHO HAS EITHER TAKEN AN EMPLOYMENT LAW COURSE OR PRACTICED EMPLOYMENT/LABOR LAW."

Here is the link to "sign-up" to participate in Ms. Drew's study:
