| Abstrak | : | Gender differences are prominent among Asian Americans in the experiences of and response to racial discrimination in interpersonal interactions (Liang, Alvarez, Juang, & Liang, 2009; Liu, 2002). Asian American men report more experiences of cross-race discrimination compared with Asian American women (Wong, Owen, Tran, Collins, & Higgins, 2012), which may explain the gender differences in expectations of rejection (London & Rosenthal, 2013). The current study examined gender and rejection sensitivity as moderators for microaggressions on stress. A total of 127 Asian American men and women were randomly assigned to either a cross-race (White perpetrator) or a same-race microaggression (Asian perpetrator) condition. The perpetrator in both conditions delivered the same microaggression about English-speaking abilities: “Do you speak English? I mean, is English your second language?” Findings revealed that White perpetrators caused more stress compared with Asian perpetrators. A three-way interaction with microaggression type, gender, and rejection sensitivity on stress showed that Asian American men who were more likely to expect rejection based on their Asian American identity experienced more stress from a White perpetrator compared with those who were less likely to expect rejection. Practitioners working with Asian Americans need to conceptualize microaggressions as cross-race stressors and should be aware of gender differences when processing the impact of microaggressions. Implications for theory, research, and practice with Asian Americans are discussed. |
Has It Really Been Demonstrated That Most Genomic Research Findings Are False?

| Abstrak | : | In a widely cited article, Ioannidis argued that most published research findings are false; particularly discovery research involving massive testing, genomics being a typical example. However, his argument ignores adjustment for multiple testing and thus should be taken with a large grain of salt. This is a potential example for statistics courses that concentrate on problem formulation. |
Discrepancies in East Asians perceived actual and ideal phenotypic facial features.

| Abstrak | : | The present study tested for the existence of a phenotypic actual–ideal discrepancy in East Asians’ appraisals of their own faces, in the direction of idealizing a phenotypically “Whiter” face than they perceived themselves to have. The study was conducted in 2 phases. In the first phase, East Asian participants residing in the United States (N = 104; Mage = 18.73) came into the lab to have their photograph taken. They were sent a link to complete the second phase online. Participants were required to recall either their previous day, an experience of racial discrimination, or an experience of racial acceptance. They then selected their actual and ideal face from an array of faces comprising their actual face and 8 variants of their face that had been transformed to look phenotypically more “White” or more “East Asian.” A robust actual–ideal discrepancy emerged: Participants both idealized a phenotypically “Whiter” face and perceived themselves as having a more phenotypically “East Asian” face than they objectively did. This discrepancy arose irrespective of whether participants were reminded of an incident of racial discrimination or acceptance. |
On the Computation of Gauss Hypergeometric Functions

| Abstrak | : | The pioneering study undertaken by Liang et al. in 2008 (Journal of the American Statistical Association, 103, 410–423) and the hundreds of papers citing that work make use of certain hypergeometric functions. Liang et al. and many others claim that the computation of the hypergeometric functions is difficult. Here, we show that the hypergeometric functions can in fact be reduced to simpler functions that can often be computed using a pocket calculator. |

| Abstrak | : | The 175th anniversary of the ASA provides an opportunity to look back into the past and peer into the future. What led our forebears to found the association? What commonalities do we still see? What insights might we glean from their experiences and observations? I will use the anniversary as a chance to reflect on where we are now and where we are headed in terms of statistical education amidst the growth of data science. Statistics is the science of learning from data. By fostering more multivariable thinking, building data-related skills, and developing simulation-based problem solving, we can help to ensure that statisticians are fully engaged in data science and the analysis of the abundance of data now available to us. |
Recent Developments and Their Implications for the Future of Academic Statistical Consulting Centers

| Abstrak | : | I describe how developments over the past 25 years in computing, funding, personnel, purpose, and training have affected academic statistical consulting centers and discuss how these developments and trends point to a range of potential futures. At one extreme, academic statistical consulting centers fail to adapt to competition from other disciplines in an increasingly fragmented market for statistical consulting and spiral downward toward irrelevancy and extinction. At the other extreme, purpose-driven academic statistical consulting centers constantly increase their impact in a virtuous cycle, leading the way toward the profession of statistics having greater positive impact on society. I conclude with actions to take to assure a robust future and increased impact for academic statistical consulting centers. |
Advanced Placement Statistics: Expanding the Scope of Statistics Education

| Abstrak | : | A list of consequential developments in the field of statistics for the past quarter-century must include the creation and implementation of the Advanced Placement (AP) program in Statistics. This program has introduced millions of high school students to our discipline over the past 18 years, contributing to the large increase in the number of undergraduate students pursuing statistics as their major in college. ASA members and leaders have played a substantial role in shaping this program and furthering its success. |
The Influence of Biostatistics at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

| Abstrak | : | Since the early 1950s, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHBLI) has conducted a long series of influential randomized clinical trials in heart, lung, and blood diseases. The biostatisticians at the Institute have been central to the design, conduct, monitoring, and final analyses of these trials. The uniquely favorable deck of cards the group of biostatisticians at the Institute has been dealt over the six and half decades of the group's life has led to contributions that have had a major impact on the fields of biostatistics and clinical trials. The leaders of the NHLBI and its several Divisions have valued the independence, creativity, and collaborative interactions of statisticians within the Institute. The medical problems the Institute faced impelled the statisticians to develop methodology that would address questions of great public importance. Perhaps most importantly, the individual members of the group had a collective vision passed from member to member over time that new methodology must fit the questions being asked. The group has always had the technical ability to develop new methods and the conviction that they were responsible for ensuring that they could explain their methods to the clinicians with whom they worked. |

| Abstrak | : | The American Statistical Association's primary founder, Lemuel Shattuck, was driven by a passion for collecting and disseminating accurate information on vital statistics, public health, and other statistically related concerns. The 175th anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on the education-related reasons ASA was founded and what it has done in education since its founding, especially in the past 25 years since the 150th anniversary. An examination of early and more recent issues of the ASA's journals reveals some common themes that have recurred over the past 175 years. We discuss what those themes are and what the ASA is doing to address them currently, and then conclude by discussing what ASA members can do to help. |
Who Will Celebrate Our 200th Anniversary? Growing the Next Generation of ASA Members

| Abstrak | : | During the next 25 years, the growth and vitality of the American Statistical Association will depend on how well we attract and serve members in emerging areas of practice such as data science, where statistics as a skill set is in high demand but statistics as a profession has low recognition. Successful adaptation to the era of Big Data requires that we broaden our understanding of statistical practice to include the work of all those who learn from data. In order to grow the next generation of members, we must also retain a much higher proportion of today's student members, many of whom leave the ASA upon graduation. By providing value that meets the needs of these groups and equips them to flourish in their organizations, we can become the Big Tent for Statistics. |
