Psychology Professor Named Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science
Posted Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Silvia Sara Canetto, a professor of counseling psychology and applied social psychology at Colorado State University, has been named a Fellow by the Association for Psychological Science for her sustained and outstanding distinguished contributions to psychological science.
"Dr. Canetto's fellowship is especially notable because it was awarded directly by the organization's governing board - outside of the standard nomination process," said Ernie Chavez, chair of the Psychology Department at Colorado State. "She has made many contributions to her field."
Canetto is most well-known, nationally and internationally, for her scholarship on gender and cultural issues in suicidal behaviors. Specifically, she is the leading researcher on cultural meanings and norms of gender and suicidal behaviors. Her suicide research has been prominently featured in scientific and popular press throughout the world. Her 1998 article titled, "The gender paradox in suicide," was recently found to be the most cited article in the top suicide research journal.
Canetto also has an active research program examining gender, socioeconomic and cultural factors in interest, persistence and success in science, with funding from the National Science Foundation.
