Division 49 Group Psychology Grant

The Division 49 Group Psychology Grant supports innovative group psychology research focused toward groups in applied settings. This grant focuses primarily on processes and performance in non-disordered populations, which may also include members' beliefs about and identification with the group. Sample topics include the impact of individual differences, beliefs, and situational or structural factors on group processes, judgment, decision-making, or performance; the impact of group interaction on member states such as beliefs, affect, and identification; differences in leadership and its impact on group process or performance; and measurement of group-level constructs such as team emotional intelligence, group cohesion, collective resilience, and collective efficacy. In addition to the grant funds, the awardee receives a three-year membership to Division 49 (Society of Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy). The grant is offered by the American Psychological Foundation in partnership with Division 49.
