Psychological Research on Women & Gender
by Graduate or Undergraduate Students

The Association for Women in Psychology (AWP) and the Society for the Psychology of Women (SPW) of the American Psychological Association seek research manuscripts for the 2010 Annual Student Prize for Psychological Research on Women and Gender

Research Topics

The student research manuscript should focus on women’s lives and issues, or more generally on gender ideologies and behavior.

Eligibility

Jointly-authored papers are eligible, but the first author must have been a student at the time the research was conducted, as indicated by a statement by the author, in a cover letter accompanying the submission, specifying when and from what institution the first author obtained the degree, the name of the faculty who supervised the research, and the department of the supervising faculty. Entries should be of approximately journal length and written in APA style.  Eligible papers include unpublished manuscripts as well as papers that have been submitted or accepted for publication, previously published or presented at a professional meeting.  Previously published or presented papers should have a date of 2009 or 2010.  All manuscripts should be submitted in manuscript form, not as pre-prints or prints, but information about submission and publication status should be provided in the cover letter.

Evaluation

Entries will be judged on theoretical creativity, methodology, clarity and style, and social importance of the research questions and findings.

Awards

A $250.00 prize will be awarded to the best paper. First and alternate winners will be announced at the 2010 meeting of the American Psychological Association.
