Discussion of article, references to be used, and questions we may have

My evaluation of current article: First thing I notice is that there is very little information in the Talk Page. Last and only entry is from 2011. This article is labeled as a “stub” and Wikipedia is asking for help to expand this article. The article has no picture of Eleanor Maccoby or even a life history section to learn who she is. There are only a couple sentences for the introduction/abstract, a little on her publications and an award she received. This article needs a lot to be added to it, to make it more respectful to whom Eleanor Maccoby is.

References I found:

Questions: I referenced a couple of Eleanor Maccoby’s publications and journal article, which I plan to cross reference some of the other references off of them. This ok to do? How do we reference a picture we use from the internet or do we have to reference any graphics used? Wmj1974 (talk) 00:49, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Mariah's Evaluation of the current article: I agree with Wendy, this article is very short and doesn't include a picture! Besides that I noticed that it does not have much information on her early life, her background, her professional life, as well as information about her later life. It provides a wonderfully blank slate so that we can fill in the information needed.

Questions and Comments: If there is a video about Eleanor Maccoby showing her talk about her work or something education can it have a link embedded in the wiki-page? If so, how is that done? From what I could see looking at the information about Eleanor Maccoby, there is far more information regarding her work than anything I could find for her early or later years in a book or journal.

Evaluation, References, and Questions - Brooke Honek

One issue I have with the current article is the lack of information on Eleanor Maccoby. For the amount of references they have I believe they should of been able to do a better analysis of the references they did cite in the current article. This lack of information on Eleanor Maccoby could be linked to not enough sources or simply a poor analysis of these references. This issue is something worth investigating, which will help us improve this article and create a better grasp of who Eleanor Maccoby was as an individual, and a female psychologist. Similar to Wendy, I also noticed the lack of communication on the talk page as well.

The first question I have is regarding the current references cited within the article. Are we still able to use these references, go back and do our own analysis of the current references and add any information from these references worth noting or should we work with completely new references?

The second question I have is regarding the third reference I noted. It is not available online so I would have to find the reference some where else. Do you know anything about the Kurt Lewin Memorial Award Eleanor received? Is it something worth investigating? Brookehonek (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:54, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Morgan's evaluation Although Eleanor Maccoby's Wikipedia page has information on her career and schooling, it doesn't touch on her life outside of psychology. This includes the fact that it is missing information from her early life and also relevant personal information from her adult life. I think that her page should definitely include information on her strong voice in the feminist movement and the feminist ideals that she worked toward throughout her life. This information is especially interesting because it ties back to her well known studies on sex differences.

Questions or Comments

I have struggled with how to insert the information box that is found in so many Wikipedia pages (contains a picture, the name, years of life, etc.). Is there a place in Wikipedia that I can find this format or learn how to do this?

When grading Eleanor Maccoby's article, are you looking for a specific length that we should strive for, or is it based more so on quality of information and organization of the information? Morgan.hausauer (talk) 03:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Brookehonek (talk) 17:27, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

To-Do List
1. One thing we need to add is a picture to give future readers a visual of what Eleanor Maccoby looked like

2. Add her background information including her family background, where she lived, etc.

3. Add her educational history

4. We need someone to look through all the current information and see if we can expand on any topic already covered in the current wikipedia article

5. Add her contributions to psychology in a separate section

6. Find any other awards she may have received throughout her lifetime

Brookehonek (talk) 14:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

We need to split up tasks and know what each member is gong to work on so we can be most efficient. Does anyone have any preference as to what they want to do? Brookehonek (talk) 14:51, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

To Do:

1. We need to fill in all of the information above using correct references and properly documenting everything. Mariah.l.hiltner (talk) 15:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

2. We need to go through everything before publishing and correct any grammar or language mistakes. Mariah.l.hiltner (talk) 15:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

3. Each person will be assigned specific sections of her life to research and complete and will be responsible for the information in those sections, personally I would like to work on her career in psychology! Mariah.l.hiltner (talk) 15:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

4. We could also request feedback, there are voluntary editors that could look at our article and tell us what is good and what could be improved. Mariah.l.hiltner (talk) 15:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Outline
When we construct our outline we need to make sure it is very clear and organized for the future readers.

1. Lead Section

2. Background Information

3. Educational and Vocational history

4. Accomplishments and Awards

5. Contributions to psychology

6. Publications

7. References

If we stuck to this outline I think we should add a subsection for section number 3; a subsection for educational history and another subsection for work history. Should we add any other sections? Would you change or alter anything? Let me know your thoughts! Brookehonek (talk) 14:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

However, her most influential book was published in 1974, and was entitled The Psychology of Sex Differences, which Maccoby co-authored with Carol Jacklin. This book, which reviewed over 1,600 different studies of socialisation's effects on sex differences, stressed biological, rather than cultural, influences on sex-based differences.Morgan.hausauer (talk) 21:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Maccoby also conducted other research during her time at Harvard University, which include: a set of studies on selective attention to viewer-relevant content in films, a study of the impact of television on children's use of time, a study of the community control of juvenile delinquency, and a study of first time voters and the family dynamics that led young people adopting or not adopting their parents' voting preferences. Maccoby also coedited the third edition of Readings in Social Psychology during her time at Harvard University.

In 1958, Eleanor Maccoby and her husband were offered faculty positions at Stanford University. Stanford University is where she presently remains working as a professor and researcher. Maccoby's research has taken multiple different approaches throughout her career at Stanford University. In 1974, Maccoby and her colleague Jacklin published their research on sex differences in Eleanor's most well known book, The Psychology of Sex Differences. In 1980, Eleanor began a large scale longitudinal study evaluating parent-child relationships before, during, and after parental divorce; since 1980, Eleanor has published her book, The Two Sexes in 1998 and has continued working towards increasing the knowledge and understanding of child development and sex differences. Eleanor Maccoby is credited to having well over one hundred publications making her one of the most influential child development/social psychologists. Other work Eleanor Maccoby completed at Stanford University consisted of organizing a year long faculty seminar on sex differences and edited the book that emerged from this seminar (The Development of Sex Differences, Maccoby, 1966). Maccoby also was involved in a Social Science Research Council that focused on socialization.

Maccoby was not exposed to much sexism throughout her life, besides the wage gap she experienced while working at Harvard. It was proven that though she researched and published hundred of articles and books, she was still one of the lowest paid staff members and was not allowed the same rights to faculty resources, such as the Lamont Library or Faculty Club, as the male staff. Maccoby actively considers herself a feminist.

Honors
Throughout her career, Eleanor Maccoby was recognized for her work in psychology. She was elected president of Division 7 of the American Psychological Association from 1971-1972. From 1973 to 1976, she was the first woman to ever serve as Chair of the Psychology Department at Sanford. During that time, she also served as president of the Western Psychological Association from 1974-1975. She then went on to be elected president of the Society for Research in Child Development from 1981-1983. She also won numerous prestigious awards.

The Maccoby Award
The Eleanor Maccoby Book Award in Developmental Psychology, often shortened to The Maccoby Award, is given to an author who's book has had a profound effect on psychology and psychological research. The American Psychological Association, who coordinates the selection of the recipient of the award, looks for "promoting research in the field of developmental psychology; fostering the development of researchers through providing information about educational opportunities and recognizing outstanding contributions to the discipline; facilitating exchange of scientific information about developmental psychology through publications such as the division’s newsletter and through national and international meetings; and/or promoting high standards for the application of scientific knowledge on human development to public policy issues." Nominees for this award must be the author of their profound book, not just the editor. The book must have been published within two years of the nomination and meet the requirements laid out by the American Psychological Association, as mentioned above. Though this award was named for Eleanor Maccoby, she was not the first recipient of it. The first winners were Harold Fishbein and Lois Bloom in 1996, followed by Jerome Bruner in 1998 and Gilbert Gottlieb in 1999. After these four profound authors were honored, Maccoby eventually won her self-titled award in 2000.
