Do you want to go to the 2012 APA Convention in Orlando, but you missed the deadline for submitting an abstract?
- Then submit an abstract for one of two Late-Breaking Poster Sessions
Poster Session: New and High Impact Reports in Psychology
Friday, August 3, 5:00-6:00 p.m.
Proposals related to "late-breaking" psychological reports of current social events occurring nationally and internationally, or new and important research that has been completed since the original convention submission deadline in December 2011. Late-breaking posters should not be an extension of posters or presentations that have already been accepted and scheduled for the convention. Submit your proposal to the most appropriate division.
Examples of relevant submissions include:
a) recently completed research studies that potentially have a high impact on the field of psychology (e.g., a small pilot study demonstrating the efficacy of a novel treatment approach; recently completed research that is of immediate importance to a broad range of psychologists);
b) findings or issues that because of their topic and importance are of high relevance to the media and to non-psychologists;
c) issues related to a contemporary event with psychological impact (e.g., the psychological response or impact to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan while the disaster was current).
Presidential Poster Session: Posters Related to the Presidential Themes
Saturday, August 4, 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Proposals related to one of the three presidential themes will be considered.
The three presidential themes for the 2012 Convention are:
1.Interdisciplinary Team Science
2.Inter-professional Practice
3.Obesity
The online link for submitting late-breaking posters, along with additional information about the poster sessions, is posted on the APA website at www.apa.org/convention from now until May 15, 2012. Don’t delay!
