CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for data blitz at pre-conference
In addition to the invited speakers, we are also hosting a data blitz event (~5-minute presentation) at the pre-conference. The call is open to everyone with research related to social and personality psychology, however, if we exceed our target limit for submissions, preference will be given to graduate students, post docs, and new faculty members (pre-tenure). If you are interested, please email an abstract submission to the PAIRlab@carleton.ca. There are two submission deadlines:
Priority. The deadline is March 10, 2023, and people that submit by this date will be given priority (decision will be made by the end of March).
Rolling Basis. We are also offering the opportunity for people to submit abstracts after the March deadline, and we will notify applicants on a rolling-basis of their acceptance (space permitted) up until May 9, 2023 (by 11:59 pm EST). If you have any questions (e.g., space availability), please contact Cheryl.Harasymchuk@carleton.ca.
The abstract submission should consist of a) a title, b) author(s)’ names, c) name of institution(s), d) career stage of presenter (i.e., undergraduate student, graduate student, post doc, pre-tenured assistant professor, assistant professor, associate professor, full professor) as well as a 500-word abstract (including hypothesis, method, sample, results, implications). Data must be collected by the time of the submission.
