Call for Applications
The 2008 J. S. Tanaka Personality Dissertation Award
The Association for Research in Personality (ARP) is pleased to invite applications for the 2008 J. S. Tanaka Personality Dissertation Award. The award is presented annually to recognize an outstanding dissertation concerning personality and/or personality processes.
This dissertation award was established by participants of the annual Nags Head Conference on Personality and Social Behavior to honor the memory of Jeff Tanaka and his numerous contributions to the empirical study of personality and personality processes. At the 2004 annual meeting of the Social and Personality Psychology (SPSP), ARP undertook responsibility for administering the award.
The winner of this dissertation award will be recognized with a plaque at the 2008 annual ARP meeting and will receive a grant to defray registration and accommodation costs at the ARP meeting. The winner will also be invited to present the dissertation research at ARP.
To be eligible for the 2008 award, the dissertation must have 1) been completed and successfully defended in the period between January 1, 2005 and June 15, 2007; and 2) make an original empirical contribution to the body of knowledge on personality and/or personality processes.
Applicants should submit:
(a) three (3) copies of the dissertation abstract. The award committee will review the submitted abstracts and choose three to five finalists, who will be asked to provide copies of their full dissertations for review;
(b) a letter of support from their advisor or other committee member; and
(c) a current curriculum vitae, including name, address, phone, fax, and email.
The deadline for submitting materials is October 15, 2007.
Completed packets and/or correspondence about the award should be sent to this year’s committee chair, Dr. Jeremy Biesanz at jbiesanz@psych.ubc.ca, Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, 2136 West Mall, Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1Z4, Canada. Electronic submissions are preferred.
