A workshop on international research in midwifery was held at the triennial International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) Congress in Vienna, April 2002. Thirty-five participants from 12 countries took part. The participants themselves defined the agenda, and subsequent discussion addressed the following issues: international research relationships and collaboration; ethical conduct in international research in midwifery; the role of the ICM in international research; and identifying topics for an international midwifery research agenda. Recommendations arising from this workshop were: that guidelines and a code of ethics for the conduct of international research in midwifery be developed; that the ICM and national midwifery organisations continue to actively support research, and further develop that support; that the ICM support education and capacity building for research at basic and continuing education levels; and that the priorities identified for collaborative international studies be updated on a regular basis.
Coleman R. Griffith is widely known as the father of sport psychology in the United States. He directed the Research in Athletics Laboratory at the University of Illinois in the late 1920s and early 1930s and produced many articles and books on the psychology of sport. In 1938, P. K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, hired him to help improve the team's performance. Griffith and an assistant filmed and measured the players' skills, attempting to build a "scientific" training program for the team. Many of Griffith's subjects, most notably the managers, objected to his interference (as they saw it) and attempted to undermine his work. Griffith wrote more than 600 pages of reports on his work with the Cubs between 1938 and 1940. This article examines the content of those reports and the reasons for the failure of Griffith's project.
