6th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Motivation (SSM)

Call for Submissions

The SSM Program Committee invites you to submit proposals for symposia and posters to be presented at the 6th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Motivation (SSM), which will be held in affiliation with the 25th Annual Convention of the Association for Psychological Science (APS). The SSM conference will take place May 23, 2013, immediately prior to the APS convention. Both the SSM conference and the APS convention will be located in the Washington Marriot Wardman Park, in Washington, DC.

The Society for the Study of Motivation is an international, interdisciplinary society of researchers in motivation. Its mission is to encourage inquiry into all aspects of motivation from a variety of disciplines and perspectives and to facilitate the dissemination of findings to a broad scientific audience. The SSM provides a forum for the exchange of scientific information, fosters discussion of new ideas and findings on motivation among researchers, and encourages exchange and collaboration in research.

Registration will open December 2012. Further information can be found on the conference homepage at:

http://www.thessm.org/conference2013.php

This year we are excited to feature a keynote address by Peter Gollwitzer, a presidential address by Rex Wright, and an invited talk by Bernie Weiner on the history of motivation science.

Submissions may be in the form of symposia or poster presentations. The deadline for submissions is March 4, 2013.

Symposia submissions should include a chair or two co-chairs and up to five speakers from different universities that present their views on a common issue. The total session time is 90 minutes and should allow for discussion among presenters and the audience. Symposia submissions must include the name and affiliation of the chair, the symposium title, an abstract describing the symposium (150 words maximum), the names and the affiliations of all symposium speakers and their co-authors as well as an abstract describing the content of each presentation (150 words maximum).

Poster submissions must include the names and the affiliations of the poster presenter and the co-authors as well as an abstract describing the research that will be presented on the poster (150 words maximum).

Young Scientist Poster Award. First authors who are currently students or who received their PhD no more than 2 years prior to the SSM convention (i.e., after May 2011) are eligible to enter their poster in the Young Scientist Poster competition. The awarded poster will get a prominent place in the poster session and the winner will receive a three-year SSM membership for the coming years (2014-2016).
