Harry and Pola Triandis Doctoral Thesis Award
Description
The purpose of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology
is to promote and facilitate research in the areas of culture and psychology.
The IACCP believes that it is important to encourage high quality intercultural
research at the predoctoral level. The Harry and Pola Triandis Doctoral
Thesis Award is intended to honor and reward good research and to advance
the early careers of dedicated researchers. Support for the award is provided
by the Harry and Pola Triandis Fund that was established in 1997 (see Bulletin,
June, 1997). The first award was given in Pultusk, Poland in 2000 (see
Bulletin, September 2000) and the second one in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (see
Bulletin, June-September, 2002).
Prize
US$500, one year membership in IACCP, free registration at the next IACCP
