Submissions

Click here to submit to an affiliated meeting (Society for the Teaching of Psychology, Division 27, or Psi Chi).

For MPA, electronic submission is now required unless you have received prior approval from the program moderator. View the Call for Papers for the 2010 meeting.

At least one of the authors should be a current, dues-paid MPA member or the paper must be sponsored by an MPA member. There is no need for a sponsor if one author is a member. If you qualify for membership status, you may become a member at the time you submit an abstract. Just complete the membership form (see the membership web page). If you have sent in your check for dues or paid online you may go ahead and submit an abstract immediately. You don't need to be too concerned about the payment making the November 1 deadline. As long as you know you have paid dues, you may go ahead and submit. Note that undergraduate students who are submitting their own work (e.g., an honors thesis or the like), should submit through Psi Chi at this link. Undergraduates who have collaborated on faculty-generated research may be (and often are) coauthors on MPA papers.

Submissions to the Society for the Teaching of Psychology Affiliated Program should be made here.

MPA sponsors awards for graduate student research. To qualify for these awards, the submission must be the graduate student's own work (a thesis, dissertation, or other work that is the student's own) and not a result of the student working on faculty-driven research or as part of a lab team. If you are a graduate student and your submission meets this criterion, check the box below the abstract indicating that the project qualifies for the and that you want it to be considered for the graduate student research award. The winners will receive a certificate; the award carries no monetary value.

Submit your MPA abstract electronically at: meetings.midwesternpsych.org

Note that if you are an APA member you may login with your APA login. However, that is not required, and you do not need to be an APA member to submit. If you have difficulty with your APA login, simply create a new login for the purpose of submission. Note: Only one contact email can be associated with each unique submission login. Don't use your colleague's, professor's, or student's login unless that person's email address should be the contact email address for all the submissions. The last email address entered will be used for all submissions under that login.
