2005 APF/APA TOPSS Scholars Winners Announced
The APA Education Directorate, Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools (TOPSS), and the American Psychological Foundation (APF) are pleased to announce the winners of the sixth annual APF/APA TOPSS Scholars Competition.
Alyssa Hoyt from Trinity Preparatory School, Winter Park, Florida (Art Therapy: The Healing Power of Creating Art); Mary Altum from Shawnee High School, Medford, New Jersey (Benefits of Pet Attachment vs. Benefits of Pet Company on Blood Pressure); and Peter Millar from Shawnee High School, Medford, New Jersey (Anxiety in Children of Divorce) were selected as the winners of the 2005 APF/APA TOPSS Scholars Competition. Each of these three winners received $1,000 in scholarship money, generously contributed by the American Psychological Foundation.
A panel of college and university level psychology faculty selected these three students based on their ability to complete a critical analysis and synthesis of empirical research and generate a quality research proposal. The essay question posed for this year's competition focused on aspects of APA President Dr. Ron Levant’s interests surrounding health care.
