Ian Little Receives Applied Measurement Fellowship From Tulsa-Based I/O Psychology Firm
TULSA, OK (PRWEB) October 15, 2004 -- Hogan Assessment Systems (HAS), the
leader in comprehensive assessments for employee selection and development,
today announced it has endowed a new research fellowship. The first HAS Applied
Measurement Fellowship recipient is Ian Little of Bowling Green State University
in Bowling Green, Ohio. Little was selected from a nationwide group of nominees
submitted for consideration by industrial/organizational psychology faculty at
leading universities from across the country.
Little, a Ph.D. graduate
student in industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology, is working with advisor
Dr. Michael Zickar at Bowling Green State University and will assist HAS in the
development of a computer adaptive cognitive assessment tool, the Critical
Reasoning Inventory for Business. Little will conduct applied research in
support of the development of this new tool while working toward his
Ph.D.
“Hogan Assessment Systems is pleased to announce that our
first-ever fellowship has been awarded to Ian, an outstanding graduate student
who we feel will play a major role in the critical research so fundamental to
our approach in developing employee selection and development assessments,” said
Dr. Robert Hogan, president and founder of Hogan Assessment Systems.
Little hails from South Bend, IN, and earned his Bachelor of Science
degree in psychology, with a minor in philosophy, from Grand Valley State
University in Allendale, Mich. Last year, Little published his first refereed
publication in Personality and Individual Differences. Little’s professional
experience includes serving as a consultant to Procter & Gamble Company’s
research team to assess the measurement equivalence of paper-and-pencil vs.
computer versions of a plant skills test. He also served as a consultant for The
Community Partnership, Toledo, Ohio, where he was a member of a research team
evaluating the effectiveness of an organization-to-organization mentoring
program.
Little is a member of Psi Chi, the National Psychology Honor
Society; Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Honor Society in Leadership; Phi
Kappa Phi Honor Society; and is a member of both the American Psychological
