Selected AbstractsMemory distortion in eyewitnesses: a meta-analysis of the post-identification feedback effectAPPLIED COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 7 2006Amy Bradfield Douglass Feedback administered to eyewitnesses after they make a line-up identification dramatically distorts a wide range of retrospective judgements (e.g. G. L. Wells & A. L. Bradfield, 1998 Journal of Applied Psychology, 83(3), 360,376.). This paper presents a meta-analysis of extant research on post-identification feedback, including 20 experimental tests with over 2400 participant-witnesses. The effect of confirming feedback (i.e. ,Good, you identified the suspect') was robust. Large effect sizes were obtained for most dependent measures, including the key measures of retrospective certainty, view and attention. Smaller effect sizes were obtained for so-called objective measures (e.g. length of time the culprit was in view) and comparisons between disconfirming feedback and control conditions. This meta-analysis demonstrates the reliability and robustness of the post-identification feedback effect. It reinforces recommendations for double-blind testing, recording of eyewitness reports immediately after an identification is made, and reconsideration by court systems of variables currently recommended for consideration in eyewitness evaluations.

Young La psychologie du counseling au Canada est examinée à l'aide de la matrice SWOT. Quatre forces sont identifiées: l'identité, le paradigme, l'ensemble des compétences ainsi que l'éducation et la formation. Les tensions entre les trois premières forces sont aussi considérées comme des faiblesses. Les opportunités externes à la psychologie du counseling comprennent les changements de la société, la diversité sociale et la santé. Parmi les menaces auxquelles la psychologie du counseling au Canada est confrontée, sont identifiés le contexte universitaire avec les contenus de formation, la compétition avec d'autres groupes professionnels et les pressions externes visant à définir la pratique de la psychologie du counseling. L'un des objectifs pour la psychologie du counseling au Canada est de rendre la psychologie disponible à un large éventail de la population par de nombreux moyens. L'Association Internationale de Psychologie Appliquée peut travailler à accroître cette aire d'application et prendre le Canada comme modèle pour développer ce champ dans d'autres pays. Counselling psychology in Canada was examined using a SWOT analysis. Four strengths were identified: identity, paradigm, skill set, and education and training. Tensions within the first three of these strengths were also considered weaknesses. External opportunities for counselling psychology included changes in society, social diversity, and health. Among the threats to counselling psychology in Canada are the university context for training programmes, competition with other professional groups, and pressure from external influences on how to define counselling psychology practice. The vision for the future of counselling psychology in Canada is based on the principle of making psychology available to a wide range of the Canadian population through a variety of means. The International Association of Applied Psychology can work to enhance this area of professional psychology and can look to Canada for support and models in developing this field in other countries.

Savickas Les analyses SWOT présentées par les auteurs dans cette édition spéciale Perspectives internationales sur la psychologie du counseling proposent de nombreux éléments en faveur de l'élaboration d'un plan stratégique destinéà la division «Psychologie du Counseling» de l'Association Internationale de Psychologie Appliquée. Condenser les multiples possibilités en un nombre limité de thèmes fédérateurs relève d'une avancée réaliste et significative dans la conception d'un plan stratégique pour la division 16. Les rubriques de ce plan pourraient être les suivantes: a) définir la psychologie du counseling d'un point de vue international, b) cristalliser une identité professionnelle supranationale c) encourager l'avènement de modèles, méthodes et connaissances propres à un pays et d) stimuler la collaboration internationale. The SWOT analyses presented by the authors in this special issue on International Perspectives on Counseling Psychology propose numerous possibilities for building a strategic plan for the new Counseling Psychology Division (16) in the International Association of Applied Psychology. Reducing multiple possibilities to a few common themes may suggest a realistic and meaningful way forward in formulating a strategic plan for Division 16. Elements of this plan might include (a) defining counseling psychology from an international perspective, (b) crystallising a cross-national professional identity, (c) encouraging construction of indigenous models, methods, and materials, and (d) promoting international collaboration.
