Notice to all Members: NOW ACCEPTING 2010 RENEWALS!
As of October 1st, 2009, members can renew their membership for 2010. Look for notifications in your email.
SRA will continue to offer a two year membership rate as well as tiered international rates. SRA will offer the same benefits you have come to expect with your membership. Please check out all member benefits and announcements online at http://www.s-r-a.org.
Publication Package Selection (prices are the same as listed price)
In an effort to lessen our impact on the environment by reducing the number of print copies of our journals, SRA is offering Green Publication Packages. By choosing a Green Package you may discontinue receiving print journals and the Newsletter while still having online access to all SRA publications. Green Packages are not subject to a price reduction since opting out does not reduce SRA's publication costs.
You will have the option to select one of the two options after selecting your membership choice online:
Print Package: All Publications Mailed
Green Package: Online Access Only

In Memoriam, Xiaojia Ge (1954-2009)
 Xiaojia Ge was born in Beijing in 1954. His early life was affected by the Cultural Revolution and he completed just 6 years of grade school. Ge even worked as a coal miner. Despite these hardships, he prepared himself for the entrance exam and earned both BA and MA degrees in China. He came to the United States with $50 and earned his doctorate in Sociology from Iowa State University in 1990. Ge then worked as a research associate at Iowa State’s Center for Family Research before accepting a faculty position in Human Development at the University of California, Davis in 1995. In 2007, he accepted a professorship in the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota.
Ge made seminal contributions to the study of adolescent development including work on the psychosocial outcomes associated with early puberty, the development of depression, and linkages between genetic factors and family dynamics. He was a cherished colleague and beloved by his former students.
Xiaojia Ge died peacefully following a battle with lung cancer in August 2009. He is survived by his mother, brother, sister, wife, and son. Ge was an extraordinary person and will be greatly missed.
In Ge’s memory, contributions to award scholarships to international students can be sent to: Xiaojia Ge Memorial Fund, US Bank, 2546 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405; Routing No. 091000022, Account No. 104778199745.

Notice to SRA Journal Contributors
In July 2009, the American Psychological Association released the 6th edition of their Publication Manual. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association provides guidelines for writers in the social and behavioral sciences.
The Society for Research on Adolescence requires all authors to follow APA style when submitting manuscripts. We ask that authors familiarize themselves with the 6th edition, as there have been some changes made including updates on electronic reference formats and the construction of tables and figures. We will begin to implement the 6th edition of APA’s Publication Manual on January 1, 2010.
Please visit www.apa.org for more information. You may also visit this website (http://www.apastyle.org/manual/whats-new.aspx) to access specific information on what is new in the 6th edition.

Notice to JRA Contributors
Beginning with the 19:4 issue of the Journal of Research on Adolescence, brief reports will be appearing at the front of the issue, followed by the longer empirical reports.
Brief reports (no more than 4,500 words, inclusive of everything). Such reports are particularly appropriate for studies that extend prior work to new populations in theoretically creative ways and are mandatory for all cross-sectional, correlational studies. These reports should be modeled after research reports in journals like Psychological Science and should focus on the methods and results. We plan to devote about half of our publication space to brief reports.
Submit your brief report today! Brief reports should be submitted electronically at http://www.s-r-a.org/jrasubmit.
