Edited post: So that I would only use initials of the students. But another question is why does your professor only use women graduate students to do HIS work which he will then publish under his own name? His 4 most recent publications are his graduate students work.
Current and Recent Graduate Students
E B - Examining the associations between partner social support and relationship change over time
K C - Exploring how mindfulness is associated with relationship processes and outcomes
J F - Examining how marriages might differ by neighborhood, understanding marriages from the inner city to the suburbs
S-H L - Developing implicit measures of marital satisfaction as an alternative to self-report
A R - Examining the dimensions of psychological aggression and their associations with change
relationships over time
M S - Exploring the relationships between adult attachment styles and romantic relationship quality and stability over time

Hi Gue,
This is Dr. Rogge. I understand from your post that you have some concerns about the study that we are posting on city-data.com.
First, thank you for your interest in our work. You are right, I currently have a lab of primarily female collaborators. This is primarily because psychology is a field heavily populated with women. When selecting graduate students, I simply try to select the strongest candidates - regardless of their gender. However, as over 90% of the applicants to my lab happen to be women, it has been the case that I have ended up accepting women to work with me.
I would also like to explain how collaboration works in our field. Research in psychology is much like an apprenticeship. I work very closely with each of my graduate students, designing studies, implementing them, training them in advanced statistical techniques and helping them with each and every step of the joint projects we undertake together. These projects are truly joint ventures and will ultimately become part of the graduate students' dissertations in addition to becoming joint papers.
The authorship that you were commenting on as listed on our website merely reflects the joint nature of this partnership. I can assure you that this arrangement is not only commonplace, but it is a mutually beneficial arrangement and ensures that the students get fair credit for the work that they have invested (as do I).
I would also like to assure you that I put my graduate students' names on our website with their consent. As they prepare for their own academic careers, it is very helpful for researchers at other universities to be able to quickly find the basic information that I have posted for each of them. Again, this is pretty common place in academia and is being done to help them, not to put them in harms way.
I hope this clears up your concerns. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Ron Rogge, Ph.D.
