I am so excited right now because I literally just found out that my masters thesis was accepted for publication!! That means that in a few months I will officially be a published author- and a first author at that!
So, in case you're wondering, the title of my article will be "Perceived history of anaphylaxis and parental overprotection, autonomy, anxiety, and depression in food allergic young adults" and it will be published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings. Not to toot my own horn (ok, maybe to toot it a little bit), but this is a really big deal in my field. It's rare that a masters thesis is published, so my advisor is incredibly excited for me as well!
Just wanted to share my joy!

I'll be the first to say congrats! That is really exciting news. Let us know when it hits "newsstands" so I can find which library at Ohio State will have it on the shelf.
Congratulations. I have no clue what your thesis is attempting to explain/describe but I'm sure that it is excellent if it was chosen for publications.
Congratulations, Linda! We're so proud of you!!
Congratulations, Linda!
That is very cool!!
WOW - another addition to your resume!
Now i can ask my psychology professors at umbc if they know my sister, a published author.
Lin-lin, that's FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! I will definitely be on the look-out for the article!!!!!! I am so proud of you!
Congratulations! What amazing news!
Thanks everyone!
To clarify my thesis- there's a new theory that parents of children with food allergy are likely to overprotect their children because they are scared they will experience anaphylaxis- which is a life-threatening condition. My masters investigated whether or not these kids reported their parents were overprotective.
As it turns out, they do tend to overprotect their children. This has led to my dissertation which is aimed at determining which parents are most likely to overprotect. The idea is that identifying these parents early will allow for early interventions. :)
Congratulations Linda! I remember reading your thesis a few years ago at the ocean and it was great!
Congratulations Linda!
Thanks for the explanation. Now I at least know what it's about.
