Otto Klineberg Intercultural and International Relations Committee

The Otto Klineberg Intercultural and International Relations Award honoring Dr. Klineberg (1899-1992), an early president of SPSSI and distinguished figure in these fields.

Submissions can be either unpublished manuscripts, in press papers, or book chapters or journal articles published no more than 18 months prior to the submission deadline. The competition is open to non-members, as well as members of SPSSI, and graduate students are especially urged to submit papers. Submissions from across the social sciences are encouraged, however the paper must clearly demonstrate its relevance for psychological or other theory and research in the domain of intercultural and international relations.

An award of $1000 is given to "the best paper or article of the year on intercultural or international relations". Originality of the contribution, whether theoretical or empirical, will be given special weight. Oftentimes, the committee will select one or two honorable mentions recipients, who receive a certificate, but no financial award. An individual or group may make only one submission for a SPSSI paper award program from amongst the Allport, Klineberg, and Dissertation Awards per year.

The deadline for this award is typically February 15th. The Committee has three or more members. Application details can be found here.
