CPA 2021 Social and Personality Invited Speaker Session (Virtual Convention)
June 15, 2021
Organizer and Moderator: Dr. Cheryl Harasymchuk
The session showcased ongoing Canadian research in the area of Social and Personality psychology. Invited speakers with diverse research backgrounds including, self and other perceptions, attitudes, personality, applied interventions, and intimate relationships discussed their current research. More specifically, Dr. Anne Wilson (Wilfrid Laurier University) reviewed a program of research considering how people make sense of past wrongdoings of self and others and their subjective implications for the present. Dr. Jordan Axt (McGill University) described his research on implicit transgender attitudes and associated outcomes. Dr. Marc Fournier (University of Toronto) discussed his research on personality coherence (i.e., the extent to which a person’s psychological characteristics are coordinated, unified, and integrated) in samples of emerging and midlife adults. Finally, research in the context of the pandemic was described as it relates to community interventions to improve well-being in adolescents and young adults (Dr. Roxane de la Sablonnière, Université de Montréal) and relationship processes that help buffer the effects of COVID-19 on intimate relationships (Dr. Amy Muise, York University).
