The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) presents the Otto Klineberg Intercultural and International Relations Award, honoring Dr. Otto Klineberg (1899-1992), an early president of SPSSI and distinguished figure in intercultural and international relations. This award recognizes the best paper or article of the year on intercultural or international relations from a social psychological perspective. The competition is open to both members and non-members of SPSSI, with graduate students especially encouraged to submit. Entries can be unpublished manuscripts of general chapter or article length, in press papers, book chapters, or journal articles published no more than 18 months prior to the submission deadline. Submissions from across the social sciences are encouraged, provided the paper clearly demonstrates relevance for psychological theory and research in the domain of intercultural and international relations. The award provides $1,000 to the winner, with special weight given to originality of the contribution, whether theoretical or empirical. Applicants may only submit to one SPSSI paper award (Allport, Klineberg, or Dissertation Awards) per year, and in case of multiple submissions, individuals may only serve as single author or first author on one submission.
