The Society of Southeastern Social Psychologists
GENERAL INFORMATION
Founded in 1978 by a group of social psychologists
at the University of Georgia, the Society of Southeastern Social Psychologists
(SSSP) boasts a membership of over 400 students, faculty, and professional
psychologists throughout the United States. Most members hail from the following
states: Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,

There are no dues or fees associated with membership
in SSSP. We do, however, ask for voluntary contributions at our annual Fall
conference. These contributions support the Outstanding Graduate Student
Research Awards, which are given to the best graduate student research presentations
at our annual Fall conference.

list, please contact James
