Advanced Training Institute in Social Psychology: The Social Relations Model

这个社会心理学高级培训学院将为社会心理学家提供使用社会关系模型(SRM)的培训讲习班，该模型用于研究个人、二元和群体现象。SRM是一种研究社会行为的方法论工具，它为社会心理学家感兴趣的现象(例如，人际和群体间过程)提供了新的理解，并作为一种启发式工具，引导人们关注新现象(例如，行为的二元独特性)。虽然SRM已被用于110多项已发表的研究，但该模型的技术细节和用于评估的软件并不为社会心理学家所熟知。该培训机构将提供一个场所，社会心理学家可以从一个由专家调查人员和教师组成的团队中快速学习社会关系建模的要点。参与者将在广泛的研究背景下接受模型的理论、统计和实际应用方面的培训，并将有机会分析他们自己的数据或从康涅狄格大学SRM数据档案中提供的数据。出色的设施、经验丰富的培训人员和现场访问SRM数据档案的独特组合，为向社会心理学家传播SRM方法提供了巨大的潜力。

This Advanced Training Institute in Social Psychology will offer workshops for training social psychologists in the use the Social Relations Model (SRM), which is used to study individual, dyadic, and group phenomena. The SRM is a methodological tool for the study of social behavior that holds great promise for new understanding of phenomena that have interested social psychologists (e.g., interpersonal and inter-group processes) and as a heuristic device that directs attention to new phenomena (e.g., dyadic uniqueness in behavior). Although the SRM has been used in over 110 published studies, the technical details of the model and the software used for estimation are not well known by social psychologists. The training institute will provide a venue where social psychologists can quickly learn the essentials of social relations modeling from a team of expert investigators and instructors. Participants will receive training in the theoretical, statistical, and practical application of the model in a broad array of research contexts, and will have the opportunity to analyze their own data or data provided from the SRM data archive at the University of Connecticut. This unique combination of outstanding facilities, a highly experienced training staff, and access to the SRM data archive on-site offers great potential for dissemination of the SRM methodology to social psychologists.
