Purpose & Topics
The integration of self-regulation theories has undertaken tremendous speed during the last years and many areas of social psychology have been benefitting from this new approach, e.g. (inter)group processes interpersonal processes, health research, media effects, as well as self-regulation theorizing has improved, vice versa.
It is the aim with this Preconference to document the state of the research and to further its impact. In doing so we seek to establish a more “social” view on self-regulation by focusing on the intersection of basic (intra-personal) cognitive and motivational principles and inter-personal, intra-group, and inter-group phenomena like negotiation, leadership, decision-making, health processes, stereotyping, discrimination, and media effects. Therefore, the current meeting aims to bring together research on individual and social processes and self-regulation, recurring to a similar set of theories and foster the exchange among them.
The format of the meeting is single session, with a strong focus on discussion to be reflected in the schedule. We believe that this meeting should provide a fruitful means to bring existing research accounts together. As keynote speakers, we are happy to welcome Ana Guinote and E. Tory Higgins. We are still welcoming submissions for a limited number of posters. There are also some seats available for active discussants. For posters, please send an abstract of 150 words and your contact details (name, affiliation and address) to k.kaldewey(aτ)iwm-kmrc.de. If you just want to participate, you just need to provide your contact details.
