Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the 12th. annual conference on the "Social Processes and Personality", organized from 16 to 18 September 2009 by the Institute of Psychology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of Psychology at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University, Institute of Experimental Psychology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS), Bratislava, and Institute of Social Science of SAS, Košice.
The topic chosen for the conference this year will focus on ´Humans on their way through life: risks, challenges, opportunities´. The conference also welcomes all papers concerned with basic and applied research in the fields of social psychology and psychology of personality.
Important information
The deadline for applications is 30 June 2009. Participants will receive details of the conference programme and time schedule 2 weeks before its beginning.
Papers
Papers can be presented either as a lecture (15 minutes) or a poster (board size 1.5 x 1 m).
Update
The conference programme will again include the student section (designed for students of the doctoral and pre-graduate study programmes) and a section of papers presented in English. As an innovation, a section discussing clinical research will be introduced this year. This is in response to the current development when an increasing number of subjects of psychological research are studied from an interdisciplinary perspective, and at the same time we consider the clinical experience as one of the main sources of data in psychology.
