TheĀ SAS2021 virtualĀ speed networking event offers registrants of the 2021 conference the opportunity to have virtual 1-2-1 informal 30-minute meetings with up to two leaders in the field of affective science (mentors). During these meetings, mentees have the opportunity to introduce themselves to their mentor and ask research and career related questions.
If you would like to participate as a mentor or mentee, you must sign up during and provide up to 10 keywords that describe your interests. The SAS Speed Networking Committee will then match mentors and mentees on the basis of keywords provided. Participants will be informed with match information, including contact details by: (date). Mentee and mentors can then self-arrange a private 30-minute meeting during the conference. Meeting spaces will be provided in Gather.Town for speed networking meetings.
We will demonstrate how to measure and analyze Heart Rate Variability and Skin Conductance ResponsesĀ using Biopac’s ECG and EDA modules and associated analysis software.
The Methods Event offers an opportunity to focus on the āhowā in a structured small-group setting. Discussion leaders will draw on their expertise to introduce and summarize selected methodologies, and then will facilitate dialogue within the small group. Topics range from tools used in the laboratory to those used in the field. They will include well-established methods and experimental innovations. The Methods Event is meant to help you to expand, refine, or rethink your methodological toolkit, whatever your career stage.
Discussion leaders will include: Alexandra Crosswell (University of California, San Francisco), Derek Isaacowitz (Northeastern University), Tamlin Conner (University of Otago, New Zealand), Tiffany Ho (Stanford University), Christian Waugh (Wake Forest University), Nicole Giuliani (University of Oregon), Heather Urry (Tufts University), Samira Shaikh (University of North Carolina at Charlotte), Catherine Norris (Swarthmore College), Zakia Hammal (Carnegie Mellon University).
The Speed Networking Event will provide attendees the opportunity to interact with several leaders in the field of affective science, briefly and in an informal setting. Each networking event attendee will get to meet one-on-one with several of these mentors. This meeting will give mentees an opportunity to introduce themselves and ask the mentor questions related to their research, career advice, or any other burning questions they have. Each of these meetings will last around five minutes, after which mentees will rotate to meet with another host.
Hosts will include:Ā Daniel FotiĀ (Purdue University),Ā Elaine FoxĀ (University of Oxford),Ā Barbara FredricksonĀ (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill),Ā James GrossĀ (Stanford University),Ā Lasana HarrisĀ (University College London),Ā Kristin LagattutaĀ (University of California, Davis),Ā Dacher KeltnerĀ (University of California, Berkeley),Ā Hedy KoberĀ (Yale University),Ā Ann KringĀ (University of California, Berkeley),Ā Robert LevensonĀ (University of California, Berkeley),Ā Kristen LindquistĀ (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill),Ā Terry MaroneyĀ (Vanderbilt University),Ā Iris MaussĀ (University of California, Berkeley),Ā Kateri McRaeĀ (University of Denver),Ā Wendy Berry MendesĀ (University of California, San Francisco),Ā Joseph MikelsĀ (DePaul University),Ā Paula NiedenthalĀ (University of Wisconsin-Madison),Ā Matt NockĀ (Harvard University),Ā Sarah PressmanĀ (University of California, Irvine),Ā Leah SomervilleĀ (Harvard University),Ā Virginia SturmĀ (University of California, San Francisco), andĀ Maya TamirĀ (Hebrew University of Jerusalem).
The Emotion Regulation Pre-Conference will feature emotion regulation research from various disciplines and topics, consider emotion regulation from different perspectives, and share exciting new findings and methods. It will feature a range of formats from short talks to panel discussions to breakout groups. All presentations will be invited. Our goal is to have fun, build connections among those interested in emotion regulation (faculty, post-docs, students), and share ideas about new directions in emotion regulation research. This yearās program includes a methods spotlight on the use EMA (ecological momentary assessment) in emotion regulation research.
The Seventh Annual SAS Positive Emotions Pre-Conference will feature state-of-the-science research on positive emotions. The Positive Emotions Pre-Conference is designed to bring researchers together from a variety of fields to advance the science of positive emotions using a data-centric approach. We encourage thinking, discussing, and integrating across disciplines, and feature speakers who range across research lab traditions to promote diversity in positive-emotion research. This yearās pre-conference will feature talks showcasing the latest findings in the field and ample opportunities for collaborative discussions and for attendees to connect with one another. Highlights include an interactive panel on big data in positive affective science, featuring speakers from both academia and industry, and a series of invited talks focusing on new and unpublished work. The preconference also features submitted flash talks and posters, and offers prizes for the best flash talk and posters presented by trainees.
This preconference will highlight recent advances in research on the interplay between culture and emotion, featuring two themes: āCulture and Emotion Perceptionā (focusing on research investigating cultural influences on emotion perception) and āCultural Fit of Emotionsā (focusing on implications of emotions that fit (or do not fit) in their cultural contexts). The preconference will include two thematic sessions with invited speakers, a data blitz session, a poster session, and a keynote address by Batja Mesquita. Invited speakers include Rachael Jack, Maria Gendron, Taka Masuda, and Ursula Hess for Culture and Emotion Perception session, and Jeanne Tsai, Jose Soto, Yukiko Uchida, and Will Tsai for Cultural Fit of Emotions session. Abstract submissions for data blitz and poster presentations will be solicited (deadline January 15, 2019)
