The meet-and-greet breakfast session jointly held by Section IX and APA's
Division 5 at the 2008 APA convention in Boston included a student research
poster award session, co-sponsored by the Association of Test Publishers (ATP)
and Western Psychological Services (WPS). A committee of ATP representatives
selected a set of five assessment-focused student research posters as finalists,
whose posters were featured in this session. The winner received an award plaque
from ATP and a travel award check from WPS.
Winner of the student poster award, granted for methodological strength and contribution to the literature: David J. Purpura, Florida State University Title: ADHD symptoms in preschool children: How well do the symptoms fit the DSM-IV-TR criteria? [Co-authored by Shauna B. Wilson & Christopher J.
