Awards Committee Report

The current ARP Awards Committee is Doug Samuel (chair), Eranda Jayawickreme, Jennifer Lodi-Smith, Rick Robins, and Susan South.

The past year was a busy one for the ARP Awards Committee! In 2019 the committee, led by Jenn Lodi-Smith created a timeline for ARP awards to help ensure consistent delivery as ARP continued to grow. This growth included the creation of two new awards to support our early career researchers — the Emerging Scholar Award and the Diversity Travel Award that were first awarded at the 2020 meeting.

Since the last meeting the Awards Committee has continued to move forward, albeit on a delayed timeline caused by the COVID19 Pandemic. The Murray Award had an original due date in March, 2020 and so was pushed back to August 1st. The committee was comprised of Nicole Albada (chair), Jonathan Adler, and Phebe Cramer (past winner) recently announced the selection of Brian R. Little as the 2020 Murray Award Winner! He will present an award address at the 2021 meeting.

The 2018 Tanaka Award winner was Manon van Scheppingen was announced in 2019. The 2019 Award committee was chaired by Rick Robins and included Joanne Chung and Manon van Scheppingen (past winner). They recently announced that Julia Rohrer was the 2019 Tanaka Award winner and will present at ARP 2021!

The Early Career Award will be chosen again in 2020 with the winner presenting the award at the 2021 ARP meeting. The ECA Committee includes Doug Samuel (chair), Aidan Wright (past winner) and Cornelia Wrzus. The call for awards is currently being prepared for a late August release and a fall deadline.

The Emerging Scholar Award was created to recognize exceptionally high quality work from emerging personality psychologists. The 2020 Emerging Scholar award committee will be chaired by Susan South. The 2020 Emerging Scholar recipients will be chosen based on their submissions to the ARP 2021 meetings and they will present their work in the Emerging Scholar Award symposium.

The Diversity Travel Award was developed to help maximize the representation of diversity within our field. This new award supports the ARP conference travel of students from historically marginalized communities. The 2020 Diversity award committee chair has not yet been determined.

In addition, the committee is currently considering a proposal by Sara Weston and Brent Roberts to add a “Reviewing Excellence Award” and hopes to have this fully up and running to announce 2020 and 2021 winners in time for ARP 2021.
