Advanced Training Institute in Social Psychology: The Social Relations Model

这个社会心理学高级培训学院将提供讲习班，培训社会心理学家使用社会关系模型（SRM），该模型用于研究个体，二元和群体现象。SRM是一种研究社会行为的方法论工具，它对社会心理学家感兴趣的现象（例如，人际关系和群体间过程）的新理解有着巨大的希望，也是一种引导人们关注新现象（例如，行为的二元独特性）的启发式工具。虽然SRM已经在超过110篇已发表的研究中使用，但社会心理学家对该模型的技术细节和用于估计的软件并不了解。该培训机构将为社会心理学家提供一个场所，让他们可以从专家调查人员和讲师团队那里快速学习社会关系建模的基本知识。参与者将接受理论、统计和模型在广泛研究背景下的实际应用方面的培训，并将有机会分析他们自己的数据或康涅狄格大学SRM数据档案提供的数据。优秀的设施，经验丰富的培训人员，以及现场访问SRM数据档案的独特组合，为社会心理学家传播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.
