As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread domestically and internationally, our well wishes and thoughts are with our members, their families, and the many affected communities. SPSP’s core focus is to serve its members through educational events, networking opportunities, resources, science funding, publication and promotion of research, and mentoring the next generation of social and personality psychologists. We will continue to do so through these trying times.
