APA 2018 TOPSS Competition for High School Psychology Students

The 2018 APA Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools video competition was inspired by Dr. Jessica Henderson Daniel’s Citizen Psychologist presidential initiative. High school students were asked to identify a problem facing society and describe how they can use psychological science toward a solution to the problem through community service or volunteering. Four winners were selected by TOPSS. They appear as follows:
(a) Danielle Ji of Pennsylvania Homeschoolers (Kittanning, PA): A Somatic Psychotherapeutic Approach to Child Homelessness - The Effects of Dance/Movement Therapy on Children in Shelters.
(b) Shuyi Jin of The Hill School (Pottstown, PA): School Shootings and Violence - Psychology’s Role in Finding a Solution.
(c) George Main of Cocalico High School (Denver, PA): Construct of Masculinity - The Negative Reciprocations on Men’s Mental Health.
(d) Adren Setian of Denali Peak Correspondence Homeschool Program (Anchorage, AK): Mental Health in Rural Alaska’s Youth.
