PPK researchers win the best publication award

Each year since 2003, the editorial board of the European Journal of Social Psychology (EJSP), the journal of the European Association of Social Psychology (EASP), has selected the best manuscript of the previous year, published by the first author of the paper within three years of obtaining his or her doctorate.

In the research that formed the basis of this year's winning article, a working group led by ELTE's Department of Social Psychology compared the actual operational data of EASP, the premier organisation of social psychologists in Europe, with the main moral principles represented by the discipline. The researchers were interested in the extent to which women and non-Western European researchers participate in the organisation's events, its governance and the extent to which their activities are recognised in the community. Analysis of membership data painted an unflattering picture.
