Thursday July 31

9:00am – 10:30am     Concurrent Sessions – Sessions 4A and 4B

Invited panel: “Soup to nuts”: Examining multiple aspects of conducting emotions research (4A) 

Facilitator:Charmine Härtel, The University of Queensland

The panel will consist of four presenters, Peter Jordan, Neal Ashkanasy, Deanna Geddes, and Kathryn Moura, each offering different aspects of conducting research on emotions – from conceptualizing constructs, soliciting participants, pursuing funding, and showcasing research. Participants will offer brief overviews of their respective topics followed by informal discussion among panelists and audience.

Dr. Peter Jordan (Griffith University) has significant success with grant writing and funding for emotion research. Increasingly, universities are asking social science faculty to follow the physical science model and pursue external funding. Even though these fields tend to have lower research costs, grant monies bring in substantial, needed revenues to universities. Dr. Jordan will discuss how successful grant writing involves finding the right sales pitch and marrying that with academic rigour.

Doctoral candidate Kathryn Moura (Griffith University) will discuss her experience securing organizational samples dealing with a difficult topic – anger.  Studying workplace anger often poses unique challenges when approaching organizations for data collection. She will talk about working around typical issues associated with this area of research.

Dr. Deanna Geddes (Temple University) will discuss the dual threshold model (DTM) of workplace anger. A relatively recent article/framework, the DTM has proven influential in the field of emotion research. Dr. Geddes will discuss its conceptual evolution, applicability to varied emotion displays and outcomes, and relevance to examining displayed emotion at multiple levels of analysis – interpersonal to cultural.

Dr. Neal Ashkanasy (University of Queensland) will discuss the role of research leadership, including answering key questions, e.g.:  What is involved in setting up a successful research team?  What do early career researchers need to do to set up international research collaborations?  Is there any benefit in attending conferences?  In addressing these questions, he will use examples from his own scholarly journey, and explain some of the “tricks of the trade.”
