The Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize
The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues is proud to announce the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize honoring the memory of the late Dr. Gordon W. Allport, a founder and past president of SPSSI.
ELIGIBILITY
Entries can be either papers published during the current year or unpublished manuscripts. Entries cannot be returned. Please note that an individual or group may only submit one paper to SPSSI awards (including the Allport, Klineberg, and Dissertation Awards) per award year (January 1 - December 31).
AWARD AND CRITERIA
An award of $1000 is given to "the best paper or article of the year on intergroup relations" -- a field about which Professor Allport cared deeply. Originality of the contribution, whether theoretical or empirical, will be given special weight. The research area of intergroup relations includes such dimensions as age, gender, and socioeconomic status, as well as ethnicity.
