Each
year, the Social Personality section offers two awards to students
presenting at the annual CPA conference. These awards, named to
honour the memory of two Canadian social psychologists who made
outstanding contributions to the field during their careers, recognize
the best undergraduate (the Kenneth Dion Award) and the best graduate
student (the Brendan Gail Rule Award) submissions. The SP section
executive adjudicate the competition, selecting first and second
place winners for each award. Each recipient receives a certificate
to commemorate their receipt of the award. In addition, first
place winners receive a $100 prize and second place winners receive
a $50 prize. All students planning on attending the conference
are invited to apply for the award. Undergraduates are especially
encouraged to apply.
The application
instructions for the Kenneth Dion Award and the Brendan Gail Rule
Award are identical. What follows is applicable to both awards.
Requirements:
The student must be the first author on the project. Also, for
the Kenneth Dion Award, the applicant must be an undergraduate
