An award of $1000 is given to "the best paper or article of the year on intercultural or international relations"—a field about which Professor Klineberg cared deeply from his social psychological commitment. Originality of the contribution, whether theoretical or empirical, will be given special weight. Please note that an individual or group may only submit one paper to one SPSSI paper award (from amongst the Allport, Klineberg, and Dissertation Awards) per fiscal year (July 1-June 30).
Eligibility
Entries can be either unpublished manuscripts, in press papers or books, or papers or books published no more than 18 months prior to the submission deadline. Entries cannot be returned. The competition is open to non-members, as well as members of SPSSI, and graduate students are especially urged to submit papers.
How to Apply
Online submissions are the preferred method. Please limit the number and size of files uploaded when applying online. For hard copy submissions, send five (5) copies to SPSSI, 208 "I" (Eye) St NE, Washington, DC 20002-4340. Attn: Klineberg Award.
