With next year’s SPSP taking place online, the two personality preconferences at SPSP (Lifespan and Dynamics) have merged into a one-stop-preconference for all things personality psychology. We at the new Dynamics in Personality Development (DPD) preconference are excited to announce this year’s iteration of the Early Career Researcher datablitz, featuring brief 5 minute talks from scholars early in their careers. 

For this datablitz, we’re looking for submissions regarding any kind of personality research: dynamics, development, structure, you name it. Because we’ll be entirely virtual, researchers from all around the world are invited to apply! Plus, registration fees are a fraction of their normal cost -- this year’s SPSP pre-conference registration is only $20 for student and early career members (stay tuned for even further registration price reductions for students, courtesy of ARP). The session takes place from 12:30-1:30 EST on February 9th, 2021, as one of three DPD synchronous sessions, and will also be uploaded as an asynchronous rebroadcast. Please send a 150-word max abstract to lsppreconference@gmail.com by November 15th, 2020, for consideration.
