CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for data blitz at pre-conference

In addition to the invited speakers, we are also hosting a data blitz event (~4-minute presentations). 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.

The deadline is March 20, 2024, and a decision will be made by the end of March.

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.

*Note. People who submit their abstracts by March 20, 2024, will be given priority. If we do not reach our target number of data blitz submissions, we will send out a second call for submissions (likely in early April) to be assessed on a rolling basis to fill the additional slots.
