MURFREESBORO — The
psychology of narcissism will be explored as MTSU hosts the spring 2017 meeting
of the Middle Tennessee Psychological Association.
Alexander T. Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology
at MTSU, will deliver the keynote address, “Why and When Narcissists Dismiss
Advice,” at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 22, in the State Farm Lecture Hall of the Business
and Aerospace Building. A printable campus parking map is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap.
“People often pay incredible sums of money to acquire
advice, and, when used, advice tends to lead to more optimal decision making,”
said Jackson. “However, some people seem entirely unwilling to use advice.”
The gathering, which is slated for 8:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.,
will enable MTSU psychology majors to display their posters, discuss their
research with academics and other professionals and to make valuable contacts
that could benefit them in their post-college careers.
“The meeting provides an excellent opportunity for
undergraduate and graduate students to present their efforts to colleagues from
other colleges and universities,” said William Langston, an MTSU psychology
professor.
The registration fee is $5 for students and community
members and $15 for faculty and professionals. Community college and
high-school students may attend for free if they register in advance.
All conference events will take place in the Business and
Aerospace Building. For more information, contact Langston at 615-898-5489 or william.langston@mtsu.edu. To
