Biographical Information: Dr. Shealy is Professor of Graduate Psychology, Executive Director of the International Beliefs and Values Institute (IBAVI), and Training Director of the Combined-Integrated (C-I) Doctoral Program at James Madison University in Virginia. He received his Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology from Auburn University in 1992. A licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Shealy's primary research and teaching interests concern integrated approaches to doctoral education and training as well as a theoretically and empirically grounded system for examining human beliefs and values (consisting of the Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory or BEVI, Equilintegration or EI Theory, and the EI Self). The BEVI is currently being used in a national study of the beliefs and values of doctoral students in psychology and as the quantitative measure in an ACE/FIPSE grant that is assessing international learning (www.jmu.edu/ibavi/).
