Award Announcements
It is my pleasure to announce the winners of SITAR’s two awards from the 21th annual meeting in Montréal, Québec.
The Jerry S. Wiggins Student Award for Outstanding Interpersonal Research is given annually in order to recognize and promote outstanding student research in interpersonal psychology. Eleven student members of SITAR chose to participate in the competition this year. The overall quality of students’ work in our society makes the job of the judges very difficult. Due to a tie among the judges, additional opinions were obtained from two former SITAR presidents. The winner of the Wiggins Student Award 2018 is Leon Wendt (University of Kassel) for his presentation entitled “The Latent Structure of Interpersonal Problems: Comparing Structural and Concurrent Validity of Dimensional and Categorical Models”. Congratulations Leon!
The Poster Award is given annually to the best poster presentation at the annual meeting. The poster award is open to all poster presenters (faculty and graduate students). Six poster presenters chose to participate in the competition this year. After careful consideration of multiple criteria, the judges have conferred a winner: William Woods (University of Pittsburgh) for his poster entitled “Approaches to Modeling Interpersonal Complementarity in Intensive Longitudinal Data”. Congratulations Will!
SITAR members can look forward to a presentation of the award winning research in our newsletter. In conclusion, I would like to say "Thank you" to everyone who took part in the competition this year.
