[CogSci] Taking Time Seriously: The Notion of Change in Culture and Psychology - Advances in Cultural Psychology SPSP2021 online Preconference (Tuesday, February 9, 2021)

Wed Oct 14 15:55:05 PDT 2020

Dear all,

A reminder about the submission and award nomination deadline for the "Taking Time Seriously: The Notion of Change in Culture and Psychology" - Advances in Cultural Psychology SPSP2021 online Preconference. Conference DATE: Tuesday, February 9, 2021.

The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly shaped and continues shaping our societies, including our goals, cognitions, emotion, and behaviors. As the psychological make-up of societies is changing in front of our eyes, the question of cultural (societal and psychological) change has become as salient as ever before. Yet, what do we know about cultural change? How can we study it?

Are you interested in learning more about possible answers to these questions? The Advances in Cultural Psychology Pre-conference <http://meeting.spsp.org/preconferences/advances-cultural-psychology> at the next Society for Personality and Social Psychology annual conference is fully devoted to unpack the mysteries of time and ways to capture cultural change, under the joint theme "Taking Time Seriously: The Notion of Change in Culture and Psychology."

The conference will be held on Tuesday Feb 9 with multiple sessions across multiple time zones, including a mix of live and pre-recorded talks. The registration is now open. The pre-conference will include some of the most innovative and leading scholars on these topics, presenting cutting-edge theoretical and methodological innovations:

  *   Meanne Chan, Lingnan University, Hong Kong
     *   Global Trends in Cross-Cultural Endorsement of Social Mobility: Evidence from 170 Countries
  *   Takeshi Hamamura, Curtin University, Australia
     *   Individualism in China over Time. Cultural Associations Discerned through Word Embeddings
  *   Olga Stavrova, Tilburg University, Netherlands
     *   Diversity and trust: testing prediction models of culture change

  *   Mark Schaller, University of British Columbia, Canada
     *   Modeling Cultural Change: Computational Models of Interpersonal Influence Dynamics Can Yield New Insights about How Cultures Change, Which Cultures Change More Rapidly Than Others
  *   Jiin Jung, University of Kansas, United States of America
     *   The Impact of Indirect Minority Influence on the Magnitude, Speed, and Frequency of Cultural Change and Diversity within Society
  *   Joshua Jackson, University of North Carolina, United States of America
     *   Forecasting the Future of Religious Belief Using Models of Cultural Change

Our pre-conference will include a data blitz and poster sessions for advanced graduate students and postdocs to share their current research.

We're currently looking for data blitz submissions (for 5-minute talks) as part of our young scholar data blitz award competition. To be considered for the Data Blitz session, please submit a 150-word abstract to acpreconference at gmail.com<mailto:acpreconference at gmail.com> by Nov 1. We'll review these abstracts and waive the preconference registration fee for the presenter of the top abstract!

We are also excited to announce call for an Award for Outstanding Contribution to Cultural Psychology.  This award was established to recognize a scholar (or group of scholars) whose work has added substantially to the body of knowledge in cultural psychology --and related fields examining the intersection of cultural and psychological processes--and whose sustained contributions in research, teaching, and/or service have significantly advanced the field.

Individuals may self-nominate or be nominated by others. In addition to the typical nominations of a single individual or collaborative team, we also encourage nominations that revolve around specific themes or topics that could be awarded at the same time to multiple investigators, even if they have not collaborated with each other (e.g., scholars working on cultures of honor, emotion, multiculturalism, etc.; scholars who have contributed to the teaching of cultural psychology).

Nomination materials must include:

  - A letter of recommendation detailing how the nominee's (or nominees') work fits the award criteria

 -  The nominee's (or nominees') current vita in electronic format

These materials should be sent in one email to Jozefien De Leersnyder (Jozefien.deleersnyder at kuleuven.be<mailto:Jozefien.deleersnyder at kuleuven.be>) by November 1, 2020. Awardees will be expected to give an award talk at the upcoming Advances in Cultural Psychology Pre-conference of the online SPSP Convention in February 2021.
