The 11th Annual Meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology We are delighted to welcome everyone to Las Vegas for the 11th Annual SPSP meeting. The society and the meeting continue to grow each year, and Vegas is an appropriately lavish city in which to celebrate this growth. To compete with the attractions of the Strip, we offer you an exciting and jam-packed meet- ing program. Seventy-seven symposia and over 2,000 posters, which were selected from another record number of submissions, cover a wealth of personality and social psychology topics, representing the diversity, breadth, and depth of our field. In addition, there are several special sessions we wish to highlight, including the Presidential symposium and address, the Block and Campbell award addresses, a Keynote Panel on the role of genetics in social and personality research, and many opportunities and special ses- sions for graduate students. This year's meeting opens with an exciting Presidential Symposium entitled “Transcending self-interest: Evolution, brains, and hormones.” The symposium is chaired by SPSP President Jennifer Crocker, and features Dachner Keltner, Patricia Churchland, and Paul Zak as speakers. The Presidential Symposium takes place from 5:00-7:00 pm, followed by the Welcome Reception and the first Poster Session of the meeting, running concurrently from 7:00-8:30 pm. The Presidential Address, entitled “The Social Self: Egosystem or Ecosystem?” is Friday afternoon. Fri- day's programming also includes the Campbell Award Address, “Envy Up and Scorn Down: How Comparison Divides Us” given by Susan T. Fiske. Saturday's programming includes both the Keynote Panel “The Role of Genetics in Personality and Social Psychology” featuring speakers Frances Cham- pagne, Steve Cole, Robert F. Krueger, and Eric Turkheimer, and the Block Award Address, “On the importance of the FFM Personality Traits” given by Paul T. Costa, Jr. In addition to the wealth of the regular program, some special programming features for graduate stu- dents include the special Graduate Student Symposium “A Graduate Student's Guide to External Fund- ing” at 8:15 am Friday. Mentoring lunches for graduate students, coordinated by the Graduate Student Committee, are both Friday and Saturday, as well as a mentoring lunch sponsored by GASP, the GLBT Alliance in Social and Personality Psychology, held on Friday. The Training Committee Symposium also takes place on Friday. We hope you’ll find plenty of learning opportunities at this year’s meeting. And, have fun in Las Vegas!
