Invitation

We would like to invite you to participate as a contributor in our next, Twenty-First Annual Sydney Symposium of Social Psychology. This time the Symposium will be held in Europe, outside Budapest, in Visegrad, Hungary, on the 8-12th July 2019.

These meetings are held every year on a different topic, and bring together leading international researchers covering a major topic in social psychology (see www.sydneysymposium.unsw.edu.au for details, programs, pictures of past symposia, etc.). The Sydney Symposia have a reputation of being among the most stimulating, enjoyable and fun small group conferences in our field - feel free to check with our past participants (for a list, see below). The topic of next year's symposium is

APPLICATIONS OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Aims. The conference seeks to bring together researchers who are interested in understanding what social psychology can contribute to our understanding of real-life problems and how social psychology can inform rational interventions in any area of social life, including but not limited to issues related to social judgment, interpersonal behaviour, relationships, attitudes, communication or any area of public life where our discipline has special expertise.

Most substantive areas of social psychology are highly relevant to this topic, including research on evolutionary influences, social cognition, social influence processes, social motivation, political psychology, relationship processes, affective influences, economic psychology, interpersonal dynamics, as well as many others. As always the topic is broadly defined and we are interested in contribution from a wide variety of empirical and theoretical backgrounds that can contribute to understanding the role of social psychology in finding solutions to real-life problems.
