This year the conference took place in St. Petersburg, Florida between November 7th and 8th, 2025.

The Society of Southeastern Social Psychologists (SSSP) was created in 1978 by social psychologists at the University of Georgia. It has since grown into a welcoming community of more than 400 students, faculty, and professional psychologists across the United States. While its membership spans the nation, most participants come from states throughout the Southeast and attendance reaches around 200 each year. Each year, SSSP hosts its Annual Conference, a tradition that brings together personality and social psychologists for a day of research presentations, networking, and lively discussions. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, the conference highlights graduate and undergraduate student contributions and features interactive group lunches that encourage meaningful connections.

A few of our professors got the opportunity to attend this conference and present their research! They also enjoyed ending the night at the beach.

Dr. Travis Carter presented Response to unfair offers by political ingroup and outgroup members in the ultimatum game.

Dr. Christopher Buchholz presented Increasing mindfulness in the college classroom.

Dr. Danielle Findley-Van Nostrand presented Parents’ goals for popularity are related to different forms of (aggression and) prosocial tendencies in emerging adults.

The psychology team is hoping to bring future Roanoke College M.S. psychology students to present at this conference!
