The Relationship Researchers Interest Group (RRIG) within the Society for Personality and Social Psychology is very pleased to announce that Dr. Omri Gillath of the University of Kansas has been named the 2011 Caryl Rusbult Close Relationships Early Career Award winner.
The Caryl Rusbult Close Relationships Early Career Award recognizes an early career investigator who is making significant contributions to research on close relationships as evidenced by an outstanding record of important and innovative research in the general area of close relationships. Dr. Gillath was recognized for his impressive body of empirical work, as well as for his important theoretical contributions to relationship science.
Dr. Gillath will be presenting an award address at the SPSP Close Relationships Preconference (January 27, 2011) in San Antonio, "A Multi-level Multi-method Approach to the Study of Attachment and Close Relationships." The talk will provide a brief overview of his research program, focusing on the underlying mechanisms of attachment, its stability and change, and its associations with other behavioral systems.
Other speakers at the preconference include Gian Gonzaga, Jennifer Crocker, Geoff MacDonald, and Jon Maner. In addition, the preconference will feature a data blitz that will showcase a variety of exciting new findings in relationship science.
The RRIG Steering Committee would like to extend a special thank-you to the extraordinarily talented group of young scholars who were nominated for this year's award, and to the individuals who nominated them. The Steering Committee was extremely impressed with the high impact work being published by all of this year's outstanding nominees and what their work promises for the future of relationship science.
