Workshop: An Annual Retreat to Broaden Participation of Black Social and Personality Psychologists: Oregon 2019, Louisiana 2020

该奖项是作为NSF的社会，行为和经济科学博士后研究奖学金（SPRF）和社会心理学计划的一部分提供的。黑人社会和人格心理学家务虚会（Blaspr）是一个年度会议，重点是扩大黑人学者在社会和人格心理学领域的参与。截至2016年，国际社会和人格心理学家组织（SPSP）的3%成员自认为是黑人或非洲裔美国人。黑人成员在该领域的代表性不足意味着研究生和早期职业学者不太可能比他们的白色同龄人（占SPSP成员的63%）有榜样和导师从他们的种族/族裔群体，负面影响持久性和感知领域内的适合。Blaspr将为黑人学者创造机会，在同龄人中建立社区，分享关键信息，以促进成功。会议的特点是专业发展和生产力，研究演示和协作写作时间研讨会。会议每个组成部分的核心重点是帮助与会者在同行之间建立网络，并与可以担任导师的高级学者建立联系。最终，本次会议提供了一个机会，以提高黑人社会和人格心理学家及其同事的专业和科学发展，确保学者谁将作为未来的科学家的榜样，并在高等教育和科学创造更具包容性的气候强大的管道。初级学者面临着许多障碍，因为他们穿越管道从本科学习到研究生院及以后。虽然挑战和障碍存在的人从所有背景谁追求研究生学习的社会和人格心理学领域，黑人学者代表该领域的一小部分，这创造了额外的学术和心理挑战和障碍。归因模糊性可能会引起人们对一个人的待遇是否是因为他们的种族或其他因素的质疑，而黑人高级学者缺乏导师和低知名度可能会破坏该领域的适应感和归属感，从而威胁到持久性。本次会议干预，以减轻这些后果，并积极影响黑人社会和人格心理学家的专业轨迹。在两天半的时间里，与会者将参加关于生产力，就业市场导航和申请奖学金的专业发展研讨会;参加研究演示，他们将给予和接受关键反馈;并与同行和资深学者建立网络，他们最终可能成为研究合作者，终身教职信作者和责任伙伴。总的来说，通过为黑人学者创造一个空间，以加强这些关键的研究技能和建立社区，拟议的会议将有助于扩大黑人社会和人格心理学家的参与。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This award was provided as part of NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) and Social Psychology programs. The Black Social and Personality Psychologists' Retreat (BlaSPR) is an annual conference that focuses on broadening the participation of Black scholars within the field of social and personality psychology. As of 2016, 3% of members within the international organization of social and personality psychologists (SPSP) self-identified as Black or African-American. The underrepresentation of Black members in the field means that graduate students and early career scholars are less likely than their White peers (who comprise 63% of SPSP membership) to have role models and mentors from their racial/ethnic group, negatively impacting persistence and perceived fit within the field. BlaSPR will create opportunities for Black scholars to build community among their peers and share critical information to facilitate success. The conference features workshops on professional development and productivity, research presentations, and collaborative writing time. A core emphasis throughout each component of the conference is helping attendees network among peers and connect with senior scholars who can serve as mentors. Ultimately, this conference offers an opportunity to enhance the professional and scientific development of Black social and personality psychologists and their colleagues, ensuring a robust pipeline of scholars who will serve as role models for future scientists and create more inclusive climates in higher education and science.Junior scholars face many hurdles as they traverse the pipeline from undergraduate study to graduate school and beyond. Although challenges and hurdles exist for people from all backgrounds who pursue graduate study in the fields of social and personality psychology, Black scholars represent a small proportion of the field, which creates additional academic and psychological challenges and hurdles. Attributional ambiguity can raise questions about whether one's treatment is because of their race or some other factor, and the lack of mentorship and low visibility of Black senior scholars can undermine sense of fit and belonging within the field to threaten persistence. This conference intervenes to mitigate these consequences and positively impact the professional trajectories of Black social and personality psychologists. Over two and a half days, attendees will attend professional development workshops on productivity, navigating the job market, and applying for fellowships; participate in research presentations where they will give and receive critical feedback; and network with peers and senior scholars who may ultimately become research collaborators, tenure letter writers, and accountability partners. Overall, by creating a space for Black scholars to reinforce these crucial research skills and build community, the proposed conference will help broaden the participation of Black social and personality psychologists.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
