Jennifer Stiegler-Balfour publishes article in the Journal of ‘Teaching Psychology’
Jennifer Stiegler-Balfour, assistant professor of psychology, co-authored an article in the latest issue of the Teaching of Psychology journal. The article, “Supporting Our Junior Faculty: Assessing the Concerns and Needs of Early Career Psychologists,” describes the results of a nationwide online survey of early career psychologists (ECPs).
Results indicated that the top concerns of ECPs involved finding a balance both between work and family and between the three major aspects of an academic position: teaching, research, and service. Further, the article utilizes these findings to provide practical suggestions for those attempting to understand and help today’s early career faculty in meeting the many demands of an academic psychologist career.
