7th 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 7th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Motivation (SSM), which will be held in affiliation with the 26th Annual Convention of the Association for Psychological Science (APS). The SSM conference will take place on May 22, 2014, immediately prior to the APS convention. Both the SSM conference and the APS convention will be located in the Hilton San Francisco in San Francisco, CA.
This year we are excited to feature a keynote address by Carol S. Dweck, the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. The conference will also feature a presidential address by Roy F. Baumeister, a Francis Eppes Eminent Scholar at Florida State University.
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 2013. Further information can be found on the conference homepage at:
http://www.thessm.org/conference2014.php
Submissions may be in the form of symposia, data blitz presentations, or poster presentations.
The deadline for symposium submissions is February 21, 2014.
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. 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). Symposium submitters will be notified by March 14th.
The deadline for both data blitz and poster submissions is March 10, 2014
New this year: Data Blitz submissions must include the name and the university affiliation of the presenter as well as an abstract describing the research that will be presented (150 words maximum). This presentation format is geared towards pre-professors. Presenters must be graduate students and post-doctoral students only. Each presenter will give a 5-minute talk with no more than 4 slides and will entertain 1 brief audience question.
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). Poster submitters will be notified on a rolling basis.
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 2012) 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 (2015-2017).
