“I chose Purdue because it was a university with great prestige. And I knew I would be receiving a top quality education. When visiting Purdue, it felt like home.” — Ceouna

Hometown:  Brownsburg, Indiana Why Purdue:  I chose Purdue because it was a university with great prestige. And I knew I would be receiving a top quality education. When visiting Purdue, it felt like home. Favorite place:  The Unity Tree (located outside of the Class of 1950 Lecture Hall), because it’s always been a great place to meet new people and just a casual spot to sit when it’s nice out! Advice for an Incoming Freshman: Stay ahead, and stay organized! Planners are excellent! Coming to Purdue can be overwhelming due to the amount of great opportunities to get involved, but it’s important to put your studies first and make sure to ask for help if need be.

HHS Life 360: David Rollock

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York,  David Rollock  says he was always the kid that other kids told their problems. That sympathetic ear, academic curiosity, and infectious personality served him well through high school and Ivy League educations at Princeton and Yale, where he earned his undergraduate degree and Ph.D., respectively.

Rollock, former department head and professor of psychological sciences, recalls reading a high school textbook that suggested the IQ performance of African-Americans and other underrepresented minorities was lower than the average American score. ...

“That did not square at all with my personal experience, so I figured there was something not quite right about how they were collecting or sharing their data,” he says. “I decided I wanted to be part of the enterprise that dealt with generating new information and framing it in ways to both inform the profession and help make lives better.”

As part of that research and teaching enterprise at Purdue since 1988, Rollock has earned numerous teaching awards. He was among 10 faculty members across campus awarded 150th Anniversary Professorships. The named professorship recognizes teaching excellence, as well as a history of outstanding mentoring.

In characterizing his own teaching philosophy, Rollock believes it’s his job to help people connect with the material. “That means deploying multiple techniques to meet multiple learners where their preferred styles of learning might be,” he says. “Sometimes I lecture because, similar to many faculty colleagues, I like to be a ‘sage on a stage.’ But we also need interactive demonstrations, places where students actively see the processes they’re learning about.”

Rollock also has transitioned happily into a mentorship role, having served as chair of the University’s Teaching Academy and becoming a tireless advocate of instructional excellence. Still, it’s hard to beat that exchange with students. “Teaching keeps one on one’s toes,” he says. “It forces us to be clear, as well as thoughtful.

Writing in Psychology Overview

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

Copyright ©1995-2018 by The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, reproduced, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without permission. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.

Written for undergraduate students and new graduate students in psychology (experimental), this handout provides information on writing in psychology and on experimental report and experimental article writing.

Psychology is based on the study of human behaviors. As a social science, experimental psychology uses empirical inquiry to help understand human behavior. According to Thrass and Sanford (2000), psychology writing has three elements: describing, explaining, and understanding concepts from a standpoint of empirical investigation.

Discipline-specific writing, such as writing done in psychology, can be similar to other types of writing you have done in the use of the writing process, writing techniques, and in locating and integrating sources. However, the field of psychology also has its own rules and expectations for writing; not everything that you have learned in about writing in the past works for the field of psychology.

Writing in psychology includes the following principles:

• Using plain language : Psychology writing is formal scientific writing that is plain and straightforward. Literary devices such as metaphors, alliteration, or anecdotes are not appropriate for writing in psychology.
• Conciseness and clarity of language : The field of psychology stresses clear, concise prose. You should be able to make connections between empirical evidence, theories, and conclusions. See our OWL handout on conciseness for more information.
• Evidence-based reasoning: Psychology bases its arguments on empirical evidence. Personal examples, narratives, or opinions are not appropriate for psychology.
• Use of APA format: Psychologists use the American Psychological Association (APA) format for publications. While most student writing follows this format, some instructors may provide you with specific formatting requirements that differ from APA format .

Types of writing

Most major writing assignments in psychology courses consists of one of the following two types.

Experimental reports: Experimental reports detail the results of experimental research projects and are most often written in experimental psychology (lab) courses. Experimental reports are write-ups of your results after you have conducted research with participants. This handout provides a description of how to write an experimental report .

Critical analyses or reviews of research : Often called "term papers," a critical analysis of research narrowly examines and draws conclusions from existing literature on a topic of interest. These are frequently written in upper-division survey courses. Our research paper handouts provide a detailed overview of how to write these types of research papers.

Purdue HHS Distinguished Alumna shapes mental health, substance abuse policy through career in public service

Written By: Rebecca Hoffa, [email protected]

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . This is a statistic that Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, a two-time Purdue University Department of Psychological Sciences alumna, is working to change.

As assistant secretary for mental health and substance use in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the administrator of the  Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), one of Delphin-Rittmon’s proudest achievements in her role in leading the nation’s transition to the three-digit 988 National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline , which launched in July 2022.

“In just under two years since the start of 988, 9.1 million people have reached out via call, text or chat to get help,” Delphin-Rittmon said. “That in its own way is bittersweet. It means people are struggling, but what I appreciate is that people are reaching out to get help. People don’t have to struggle alone. Help is available and recovery is possible.”

Delphin-Rittmon is being recognized with the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Award from Purdue’s College of Health and Human Sciences for her significant accomplishments and leadership across academia as well as state and federal governments.

“It is truly an honor,” said Delphin-Rittmon, who earned her master’s degree and PhD from Purdue in 1992 and 2001, respectively. “I’m grateful for my time at Purdue because I think it helped to shape my career in significant ways, and day-to-day, I use many of the skills I learned from Purdue in my work. We often don’t pause to think about our role or our impact, and so I’m grateful for the opportunity to look back over my career and think about the impact of Purdue on my career up to this moment.”

While Delphin-Rittmon has had an extensive career focused on addressing mental health and substance use disorders, from serving for 20 years on the faculty in Yale University’s Department of Psychiatry to holding a variety of leadership roles in the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services , SAMHSA has remained a connecting thread through it all. Delphin-Rittmon started as a fellow in the SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program in 1990, participated in a technical expert panel addressing homelessness in 2004, served as a consultant on the Shared Decision Making: Making Recovery Real Project in 2007, and in 2012 was invited back as a White House appointee serving as a senior advisor to the administrator of SAMHSA for the Obama administration, taking a two-year leave from Yale.

Delphin-Rittmon was in her sixth year as commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services when she was approached in 2021 about being nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as assistant secretary of mental health and substance use in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the administrator of SAMHSA. Her answer was “Yes, absolutely.”

“At that time, we were in the midst of COVID-19, and the country was struggling in terms of behavioral health,” Delphin-Rittmon said. “It was an important moment, we were seeing increased rates of anxiety, depression and opioid overdoses, and SAMHSA was also in a place of rebuilding. So this felt like a full circle moment and an opportunity to make a difference when the country was experiencing collective trauma as a function of the pandemic.”

In her current role, Delphin-Rittmon oversees a $7.3 billion budget administering a broad range of prevention, treatment and recovery related grants. In addition, she develops and implements policies designed to improve behavioral health services, systems and outcomes from implementing President Biden’s Unity Agenda to making significant advances in suicide prevention.

“I’ve loved working in public service spaces, whether it’s state or federal government,” Delphin-Rittmon said. “Meeting with people and hearing directly from community members, our grantees or even other collaborating government departments — I think it’s so important to get input from people the policy or program is intended to serve. It’s one way we carry out the recovery advocacy mantra ‘Nothing about us without us.’”

In addition to its impact on her career, Delphin-Rittmon ended up attending Purdue thanks to the SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program. After working in case management in New York City for a year after graduating with her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Hofstra University, Delphin-Rittmon was inspired to apply for the fellowship program. After receiving it, she was recommended three graduate school options, one of which was Purdue.

“I called Purdue, and I talked to David Rollock , and I decided right after that conversation that I wanted to go to Purdue,” Delphin-Rittmon said. “David Rollock told me about the research he was doing within his lab looking at multicultural issues in psychology, looking at student help-seeking behavior, racial identity and doing student survey research. It just seemed exciting because it was not an area I was steeped in, but after doing case management work in New York City and seeing many challenges with disparities and the ways in which culture is important in care, I decided that Purdue and being part of David Rollock’s lab would be a wonderful place to study.”

At Purdue, Delphin-Rittmon was not only involved in Rollock’s lab but also served as a graduate assistant in what was then Purdue’s Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs in the Office of Human Relations, where she served on and later became coordinator of the DiversiTeam, which offered diversity training on campus and in the community.

These opportunities were influential in Delphin-Rittmon’s later career when she became director of cultural competence research and consultation for the Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health in the Department of Psychiatry and director in the Office of Multicultural Affairs in the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services commissioner’s office.

As Delphin-Rittmon reflects on her career, she noted her gratitude for the career informing experiences as well as knowledge and skills she developed at Purdue.

“Purdue prepared me for my career journey because of the strong teaching, research and clinical training I received,” Delphin-Rittmon said. “It was a school that taught us to do well in all of those areas, to be crisp and sharp in terms of the research, in terms of the clinical work and in terms of teaching and all of this translates well to policy and leadership in government roles.”
