About the Poster Session

The poster session will take place in the lobby of the Rialto Center for the Arts. Check-in for presenters begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Registration Desk. Presenters must check in and have their poster set up at their assigned location by 9:00 a.m.

Poster Preparation Guidelines

Images and text for your poster should be neatly affixed to the display board. All text on the poster must be at least an 18 pt font size. Your poster may have a separate panel at the top for the title, authors' names, and affiliations; otherwise, extensions to the display board are prohibited.

If you plan to bring a laptop or other device that requires power as part of your presentation, please notify us at purc@gsu.edu by October 22, so that we can assign your poster to a table near a power outlet.

For tips on preparing your poster presentation and some suggested layouts, we recommend you explore the Psi Chi Conference Presentation Pages.

The top three posters will receive prizes with first place earning $100, second place earning $75, and third place earning $50. Each poster will be assessed on the following five areas (each area has equal weight):

1. Abstract: Clarity, organization, and content of the presentation abstract
2. Importance: Relative importance of presented findings to psychological science
3. Appearance: Clarity, organization, and visual appeal of presentation
4. Creativity: Creativity in research question and/or study design
5. Ownership: Apparent degree to which undergraduate author was responsible for the content and format of presentation

A neuroscience award of $100 will be awarded to the poster deemed to be the best poster in the field of neuroscience.  To be eligible posters must display the CBN logo in the upper right hand corner, and come from a lab in which the advising faculty member is a CBN member. Each poster will be assessed on the following three areas (each area has equal weight):

1. illustrates the interaction of brain processes and complex behaviors
2. identifies the brain mechanisms of social behavior
3. demonstrates command of a major methodological technique used in neuroscience research

A diversity prize of $100 will be awarded to the poster that best addresses issues of diversity.  Addressing issues of diversity can include addressing issues of social justice; group differences such as gender, race/ethnicity/culture, sexual orientation; and other relevant dimensions of diversity.  Each poster will be assessed as to whether issues of diversity are being address in the theory, methodology, and interpretation of the results (each area has equal weight).
