Grainne Fitzsimons Wins Early Career Award

Posted by: Arthur Aron Institution: State University of New York at Stony Brook September 24, 2009, 6:36 pm The Relationship Researchers Interest Group (RRIG) within the Society for Personality and Social Psychology is very pleased to announce that Dr. Grainne Fitzsimons of the University of Waterloo has been named the 2010 Close Relationships Early Career Award (ECA) winner. The Close Relationships Early Career Award recognizes a young 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. Fitzsimons was recognized for her impressive body of empirical work, as well as for his important theoretical contributions to relationship science. Dr. Fitzsimons will be presenting an award address at the SPSP Close Relationships Preconference (January 28, 2010) in Las Vegas, entitled, “Self-Regulation in Close Relationships.” Other speakers at the preconference include Rowland Miller (“Attention Must be Paid: Keeping Track of Romantic Rivals, Attractive Alternatives, and All the Rest of Relationship Science”), Nancy Collins (title TBA), Caryl Rusbult (“The Michaelangelo Phenomenon”), and Wendi Gardner (title TBA). We’ll also be adding something new to the preconference program this year: a data “blitz” featuring brief presentations from attendees of some of the most up-to-the minute and exciting findings from relationship science (details TBA). The RRIG Steering Committee would like to extend a special thank-you to the 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 important work being conducted by all of this year's outstanding nominees—and what their work promises for the future of relationship science.
