Submission Requirements

Membership Requirement

The first author for each poster submission must be a SPSP member or student member and have paid his or her dues for the 2010 calendar year. Co-authors of a poster are not required to be SPSP members.

If you are not yet a member and wish to join, please see the SPSP Membership page, where you can join SPSP or renew your membership online.

One Submission Rule

An individual may be FIRST AUTHOR on only ONE poster submission OR may serve only ONCE as a symposium speaker. Individuals may, however, be co-authors on more than one paper (symposium and poster).

Changes for 2011

Our online system has been improved to contain your abstract submission, your meeting registration, and your contact information in a single account. When you start the submission or registration process for the first time you will be taken to the SPSP Membership site (spsp.org) to confirm or renew your membership. After your membership is confirmed, you will be returned to the Meeting website (spsmeeting.org) to create your account and complete your submission or registration.

Poster submissions now require two abstracts: one for publication and one for review purposes only. The abstract used for publication (in the printed meeting program and on this website) is limited to 50 words. The abstract used for review only is limited to 250 words. For additional information, see the Poster Guidelines.

Submission Content

• Abstracts must contain the specific goals of the study, the methods used, a summary of the results, and a conclusion.
• Data must be collected prior to abstract submission. We will not consider abstracts for studies that have not been conducted.
• The title of the abstract should clearly define the work discussed.
• Use only standard abbreviations.
• All submissions must be in final form, ready for publication in the convention program. Please check your work carefully. No typos or other errors will be corrected.

Submissions will be reviewed with regard to scholarly/theoretical merit, soundness of methodology, relevance to social and personality psychology, clarity of presentation, significance, and originality. Final selection among submissions deemed meritorious will be made with an eye toward achieving a balanced and broadly representative program.

Confirmation

At the end of the submission process, you will see a page confirming completion of your submission. A button is provided to allow you to email a copy of your submission to yourself.

Submission Revisions

After you create your SPSP Meeting Account you will receive an email that contains the login information to your account. You can login and revise your submission through the submission deadline of July 20, 2010. No revisions are allowed after the submission deadline.

Go to the Account Login page to access your submission.

Communication

All communication between submitters and SPSP is done via email. It's important that the email address in your submission remain a current and active email address or you will not receive important communications about the SPSP meeting and your submission.
