13th Annual Meeting of the SSM – May 13-14 2021, Virtual

The 13th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Science of Motivation will held online, on Thursday and Friday, May 13th and 14th, 2021. To accommodate attendees from North America and Europe, each day will run from 10am ET – 3pm ET.

The SSM Program Committee invites proposals for symposia, oral presentations and posters to be presented at the 13th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Science of Motivation (SSM).

Program

We are pleased to feature a keynote address by Melissa Ferguson (Yale University), a presidential address by Ayelet Fishbach (University of Chicago), and a President’s Symposium with Dan Ariely (Duke University), Alice Eagly (Northwestern University), Todd Rogers (Harvard University), and Linda Skitka (University of Illinois at Chicago).

Other highlights for our virtual gathering will include:

The Society for the Science of Motivation is an international, interdisciplinary society for researchers interested in motivation (broadly defined). Its mission is to encourage inquiry into all aspects of motivation from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, and to facilitate the dissemination of findings to a broad scientific audience. The annual meeting provides a forum for the exchange of scientific information, fosters discussion of new ideas and findings on motivation, and encourages collaboration in research.
 

Registration will open sometime this Spring. Further information will posted on the conference homepage at www.scienceofmotivation.org/events

Call for submissions

The SSM Program Committee invites proposals for symposia, oral presentations and posters to be presented at the 13th Annual Meeting.

Submission Types

Symposia: Submissions should include a chair (or co-chairs) and 3 speakers. (Please note that the 3-speaker limit differs from previous years to facilitate online interaction. Plan for 10-min presentations, plus discussion time). These Symposia should be organized around a common issue. Symposia submissions must include the name and affiliation of the chair(s), the symposium title, an abstract describing the symposium (150 words maximum), the names and affiliations of all speakers and their co-authors, and an abstract describing the content of each presentation (150 words maximum). Empirical studies must be completed by the time of submission. Preference will be given to sessions that include field data and/or emphasize implications for practical problems. Submissions may also suggest 3-5 potential discussants (to be invited by the program committee after the program has been determined).

Oral presentations: Submissions should include the name and affiliation of the presenter along with any co-authors, the title of the presentation, and an abstract describing the research that will be presented (150 words maximum). Empirical studies must be completed by the time of submission. Preference will be given to presentations that include field data and/or that emphasize implications for practical problems. (Plan for 10-min presentation, plus discussion time.)

Posters: Submissions must include the names and affiliations of the poster presenter and coauthors as well as an abstract describing the research that will be presented on the poster (150 words maximum). Empirical studies must be completed by the time of submission.

Young Scientist Poster Award: First authors of posters who are currently students or who have received their Ph.D. no more than two years prior to the SSM convention (i.e., after May 2019) are eligible to submit their poster for the Young Scientist Poster Award. The winning poster will be featured in the poster session, and the winner will receive a three-year SSM membership for the coming years (2021-2023).
