Call for Applications:
The 2010 and 2011 J. S. Tanaka Personality Dissertation Awards
The J.S. Tanaka Personality Dissertation Award is presented annually to recognize an outstanding dissertation concerning personality and/or personality processes.
This 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 Society for Social and Personality Psychology (SPSP), ARP undertook responsibility for administering the award.
2010 and 2011 Call for Applications
Although the award is made annually, the ARP Executive Committee recently voted to make two awards in the coming year in order to sync the continuous history of annual awards with the current calendar year -- one for dissertations completed during the 2010 calendar year and a second for dissertations completed during the 2011 calendar year.
The winner of each dissertation award will be recognized with a plaque and invited to give a talk at the 2013 ARP meeting. In addition, the recipient will receive $750 to help defray costs of attending the meeting.
To be eligible for the award, the dissertation must have (1) been completed and successfully defended during the specified time periods; and (2) make an original empirical contribution to the body of knowledge on personality and/or personality processes.
The members of the award committees this year are:
2010 Award Committee: Bob Krueger (chair), Brian Connelley (recent winner), and Dan Ozer (at-large).
2011 Award committee: Jeremy Biesanz (chair), Robert Latzman (recent winner), and Dan Mroczek (at-large).
Applicants should email:
a. Dissertation abstract. The award committee will review the submitted abstracts (1 – 2 pages in length, maximum 500 words) 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.
Completed packets and/or correspondence about the award should be sent to the respective committee chair:
Dissertations completed between Jan 1, 2010 and Dec 31, 2010: Bob Krueger (chair) at krueg038@gmail.com
Dissertations completed between Jan 1, 2011 and Dec 31, 2011: Jeremy Biesanz (chair) at jbiesanz@psych.ubc.ca
The deadline for submitting materials is extended to March 15, 2012. Winners will be notified by June 15, 2012.
