SPSP Call for Volunteers

SPSP relies on its members to provide volunteer leadership and support for its programs, events, awards and publications. Make the most out of your membership and volunteer today.

From the News Center

Selfie-Probing Psychologist Finds You Might Be Even Vainer Than You Thought

When researchers set out to study the habits of selfie-takers on social media, no amount of overestimation could have prepared them for the high opinions people seem to have of themselves online.

Personality and Social Psychology’s Hidden Gender Gap

Does having more women in the social and personality psychology field translate into more high-impact publications by women, more citations of these articles, and more awards received by women?

Children’s Responses to Inequality Vary Around the World

Do children have a more consistent sense of fairness than adults?  Or is the aversion to getting less more deeply rooted in development than the aversion to getting more?

SPSP News

Host a Small Conference Grant

SPSP seeks to provide small grants to support personality and social psychological research conferences. Conference support will assist SPSP members in their efforts to develop and host successful conferences relevant to the personality and social psychology field.

Reflections from the SPSP 2016 Expression Wall

This year at SPSP's 17th Annual Convention we asked attendees "Why Personality and Social Psychology?" We received some amazing responses. Check back here each month to read attendee thoughts on why personality and social psychology is so vital and worth exploring.

Join SPSP at APS

Join fellow social and personality psychologists at APS in Chicago next month. There will be outstanding invited talks showcasing fresh new findings on topics such as inequality, shared experiences, meaning and happiness, the pull of the future, behavior and personality change, cultural experiences, and curiosity.
