Summer Institutes in Social and Personality Psychology

在过去的三十年里，支持社会和人格心理学研究的理论、方法和统计数据变得越来越复杂。这些科学进步部分是由于教师之间日益联系和多样化的学术和专业网络。本项目支持社会与人格心理学暑期学院（SISPP）的延续和扩展。来自社会心理学和人格研究生培训项目的研究生参加由该领域知名学者和教师带领的为期两周的高级强化培训项目。这一级别的培训有助于 推进这些科学领域，并支持重要创新的产生。 研究所还注重扩大研究生的参与，这些研究生 可能来自历史上和目前在这些领域处于边缘地位的群体，他们可能没有机会接触到他们感兴趣的多个子领域的学者。对以前的培训机构（由NSF支持）的评估表明，参加培训的研究生在获得学术职位、同行评审的出版物和研究资金方面取得了成功。为研究生提供前沿的理论和方法培训可以提高他们参与跨学科和国际合作的能力，这在所有科学领域都越来越重要。每两年一次，SISPP为大约100名社会和人格心理学博士研究生提供机会，在前沿理论、研究和方法方面获得丰富的经验和指导。由于研究生课程提供不同领域的优势，因此优先考虑那些在特定暑期学院所涵盖的主题上没有优势的学生。在促进历史上代表性不足的群体成员的职业发展和加强来自不同重点和资源项目的学生的研究生培训方面，SISPP在促进该领域的多样性方面取得了成功。SISPP成功地促进了来自不同实验室、大学、地区和国家的个人之间的研究合作和交流网络，并为新一代研究人员创造了一个合作的学术社区。SISPP提供的多样化经验对于培养创造力、创新和灵活的科学实践，以及扩大社会和人格心理学的科学潜力，以支持解决重要的社会挑战至关重要。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Theory, methodology, and statistics in support of research in social and personality psychology has grown in complexity over the past three decades. These scientific advances are partly due to increasingly connected and diverse academic and professional networks among faculty. This project supports the continuation and extension of Summer Institutes in Social and Personality Psychology (SISPP). Graduate students from social psychology and personality graduate training programs attend the advanced two-week intensive training program, led by renowned scholars and teachers in the field. Training at this level helps to advance these fields of science and supports the production of important innovations. The Institute also focuses on broadening the participation of graduate students who may be from groups historically and currently marginalized in these fields and who may not have intensive access to scholars in multiple subfields of their interest. Evaluation of the previous training institutes (supported by NSF) reveals that graduate students who participate are successful in obtaining academic positions, peer-reviewed publications and funding for their research. Affording graduate students with cutting-edge theoretical and methodological training enhances their ability to participate in interdisciplinary and international collaborations, which are increasingly important across all of science. Scheduled every two years, SISPP provides an opportunity for approximately 100 advanced graduate students in social and personality psychology Ph.D. programs to obtain intensive experience and instruction in cutting-edge theories, research, and methods. Because graduate programs offer strengths in different areas, preference for attendance is given to students whose home institution does not offer strengths in the topics covered during a particular Summer Institute. SISPP has been successful in fostering diversity in the field, both in promoting the careers of members of historically underrepresented groups and in enhancing the graduate training of students from programs with different emphases and resources. SISPP has been successful in fostering research collaboration and communication networks among individuals from different laboratories, universities, regions, and nations, and creating a collaborative scholarly community for a new generation of researchers. The diversifying experiences enabled by SISPP are critical for fostering creativity, innovation, and flexible scientific practices, and for expanding the scientific potential for social and personality psychology to support solutions to important societal challenges. 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.
