The Executive Board of the Society for Judgment and Decision
Making again invites applications for awards from the Jane Beattie
Memorial Fund. This fund was established in memory of SJDM member
Jane Beattie and her contributions to judgment and decision
research. The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships to
subsidize travel to the U.S. for purposes of scholarly activity by
a foreign scholar in the area of JDM research, broadly defined.
Attendance at the annual SJDM meetings is one example of an
activity that would be appropriate for support, but by no means
the only one.

Last year, two awards were made.  One award was to Mandeep K.
Dhami of the Department of Psychology, City University, London,
to present a poster at the SJDM meetings, "How representatively
designed is JDM research?," and to collaborate with George
Loewenstein and others on research concerning prisoners'
predicted, experienced, and remembered utilities of freedom
and incarceration.  Another award went to Simone Moran of the
School of Management of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev to
present a paper at the SJDM meetings, "Logrolling without
understanding why:  Effects of anchoring and superficial
learning," concerning evaluations of and responses to initial
offers in multi-issue negotiations.

Applications will be accepted until 15 August, 2001.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The JBMF Committee (Peter Ayton; Joshua Klayman, chair; and Martin
Weber) plans to make all award decisions by 10 September. The
committee anticipates making one or two awards annually, in
amounts ranging from approximately $200-$600 U.S.

The committee also invites continuing support for the Jane Beattie
Memorial Fund. With the contributions we have collected so far,

we hope to provide one or two awards annually for about the next
six years. Your continued support will allow us to continue or
expand the scholarship program. Please send contributions to
Joshua Klayman (address below) via check (U.S. funds) made out
to “SJDM--Beattie Memorial Fund.” Your contribution is tax
deductible in the U.S.

Below, you will find more information about eligibility for a
Beattie Memorial Award and a copy of the required application
form.  If you have any further questions, please e-mail Joshua

JANE BEATTIE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Applicants should be scholars living and working in a country
other than the U.S. who will use the award to help pay for
travel to the U.S. for scholarly activities associated with
research in judgment and decision making. It is anticipated
that most awards will be granted to faculty or graduate
students at colleges and universities, but others will also be
considered.

Applicants should submit the form below, along with a one page
(single-spaced) description of the planned scholarly activity
and a copy of their curriculum vitae. The activity may consist
of attendance at a relevant conference in the U.S., or a visit
to a U.S. institution. The description of activities should
indicate the nature of the planned scholarly activity,
with whom the applicant plans to work (if applicable), what the
applicant hopes to accomplish with the visit, and why travel to
the U.S. is important to its accomplishment.

Awards will be granted on the basis of the committee's estimate
of the prospective value of the proposed activity, its relevance
to the field of judgment and decision research, the scholarly
credentials of the applicant, and the extent to which the award
would contribute to the applicant's success (including
considerations of financial and academic need).

Applications should be submitted in time to be received by
