Spielberger EMPathy Symposium -- Emotion, Motivation, Personality

The Spielberger EMPathy Symposium was established as a forum for leading experts to present and discuss recent findings in the areas of Emotion, Motivation and Personality (EMPathy). The goal of the symposium is to stimulate and facilitate the integration and dissemination of knowledge in these important areas of psychological inquiry. The presenters are distinguished and prominent individuals from APA Divisions 3 (Experimental), 8 (Society of Personality and Social Psychology), and 12 (Clinical).

The symposium is held annually at the APA convention, and each of three presenters receives a $500 honorarium.
