The BSPID Big Project
The British Society for the Psychology of Individual Differences is pleased to announce that we will be supporting a large multi-site collaboration project to be proposed by a BSPID member.
‘Big Projects’ are multi-institution collaborations (data collection, data sharing, team science) on a topic relevant to BSPID’s work, led by members of the society, and supported by the BSPID committee and brand. BSPID will use networking and branding to support Big Projects and help generate large sample, collaborative research in the areas of BSPIDs interest.
This project will be facilitated by BSPID to help the BPISD membership develop good, well-powered, open, individual differences science, in line with the BSPID mission:
”
“BSPID aims to foster and develop research on individual differences in personality, temperament, intelligence, attitudes, abilities and motivation. BSPID aims to foster links between researchers in the UK working in the area of individual differences, to develop a fuller understanding the mechanisms (e.g., evolutionary, biological, social) affording individual differences, the major dimensions of individual differences, the relationships between individual differences and their link to real world outcomes (e.g., ageing, health, pro- and anti-social behaviour). This work will be conducted using experimental, cross-sectional, quasi-experimental, longitudinal, physiological, neuroscience (MRI, EEG), pharmacological, clinical, medical, genetic and statistical techniques. BSPID also aims to foster links with social, cognitive, developmental, clinical and biological psychology as well as neuroscience, economics, business studies and the humanities.” (BSPID Statute I, item 2)
