After his graduation from New Hampshire, [Ken Dion] spent a year at SUNY Buffalo before transferring to the graduate program in social psychology at the University oi Minnesota. This transfer had a significant effect on Ken's career but had an even more important impact on other aspects of his life. It was there that he met and married his wife, Karen, then a fellow graduate student. Karen and Ken would be life partners in both their personal and professional lives. In 1970, Ken and Karen each received their PhD in psychology and took up jobs at the University of Toronto. There in the Department of Psychology, Ken began a research and teaching career that would span across numerous subareas of social psychology. In the early 1970s, Ken and his students began to study prejudice from the ...

It is apparent from the other papers in this special section on community psychology (CP) in Canada that we have a strong and rich, albeit brief, history and have made many contributions to promoting equality, health, and social justice in our communities both domestically and abroad. Furthermore, the multidisciplinary nature of our theories, along with our eclectic and participatory approach to research and social interventions, is necessary and relevant in our increasingly multicultural society and globalized world. Despite these strengths, CP is a relatively young and marginalized subdiscipline, especially in Canada. The marginal status of CP is observed within psychology departments, universities, psychology literature, work-settings, and the wider community ([Tim Aubry] et al., 201...

Although it has been claimed that the increase in the number of females enrolled in graduate programs in professional psychology has implications for the future of research, teaching, and clinical service, more research is needed to evaluate such claims. Canadian graduate students in professional psychology programs were surveyed to examine gender differences in their academic achievements, professional interests, career plans, as well as the reasons for their career choices, expected salaries, and personal opinions regarding affirmative action. Overall, the similarities between genders outweighed the differences. However, women were more likely than men to expect child-rearing to disrupt their careers, to make their career choices based on job flexibility, and to expect lower maximum s...

This special Issue of the Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science hopes to achieve 3 interrelated goals. First, it defines what it means by a "healthy workplace," and it delineates the ways in which work is associated with mental health. Second, it reviews the individual, organizational, and societal costs of unhealthy work and workplaces, and, consequently, of poor mental and physical health. Finally, it provides a framework in terms of a healthy workplace model to help summarize this literature.

This article places a magnifying glass on psychology's current training realities in the context of global health developments, particularly those of the Canadian health-care system. The authors argue that curriculum review and revision is needed to solidify psychology as a true health care profession; such a review should be proactive and must consider the likely changes in our overall health-care system. In preparing for anticipated changes in health care, it is proposed that curricula modifications be made to better reflect how psychology can contribute (in a broad fashion) to the health of Canadians. Two particular models for psychology's future role are offered for discussion: a) a modified, comprehensive parallel/vertical model that sees psychologists similar to other health-care ...

This paper identifies two new tools, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) and Derrida's deconstruction method, to identify cognitive differences between Australian, Thai, and Japanese managers. The KTS identifies one's temperament pattern, which describes ways in which human personalities interact with the environment to satisfy needs. Temperament theory has been extended to leadership/management theory to show that inborn temperament tendencies are differently distributed by cultural groups and these tendencies affect approaches to negotiations. Derrida's deconstruction method offers a new approach to identifying a culture's true diversity by recommending an analysis of the 'difference-to-oneself' within a culture before comparing 'difference-between' cultures. Results identified signi...

This study investigates tattoo removal as a means of identity negotiation using Brewer's (1991) optimal distinctiveness theory as the conceptual foundation. Twenty-two informants who ranged in age from 19 to 43 participated in in-depth interviews telling their stories of tattoo acquisition and removal. Findings unpack the relationship between consumption, disposition, and the different aspects of the self-concept. Informants who felt overly individuated (or assimilated) in a frequently activated social identity group because of tattoo acquisition, compensated for this conflict by enhancing feelings of affiliation (or differentiation) in another frequently activated social identity via tattoo removal. This study extends previous research on the role of consumption in shaping the maintena...

We propose that there are three important organizational levers that influence work-related need satisfaction: job design, interpersonal relations, and compensation. Need satisfaction and autonomous motivation have been associated with jobs that are designed to be more interesting and meaningful (Gagné, Senécal, & Koestner, 1997; Millette & Gagné, 2008). They have also been linked to managerial support ([Baard] et al., 2004; Deci et al., 2001; Lynch, Plant, & Ryan, 2005) and transformational leadership (Bono & Judge, 2003), which refers to managers being charismatic, inspirational, and considerate toward subordinates. Controlled motivation, on the other hand, has been associated with the presence of contingent rewards (Deci, Koestner, & Ryan, 1999), deadlines (Amabil...
