ADVANCED RESEARCH AND TRAINING SEMINARS
ARTS 2002
ARTS is a
program of international psychology (IAAP- International Association of Applied
Psychology, IUPsyS- International Union of Psychological Science, and IACCP-
International Association of Cross-Cultural Psychology) to provide training
opportunities for scholars from low-income countries and to promote their
attendance at the international congresses.
In 2002 there were three seminars organized to be held on the campus of
the National University of Singapore.
ARTS # 1: The Family: Culture
and Psychological Functioning - July 4 - 6,
2002
Professor James Georgas, The
University of Athens (Convener)
This ARTS received a good
number of applications, and as a result the 14 participants selected to
participate come from 12 different countries, some of which have never been
represented before.
ARTS # 2: Emotion and
Inter-cultural Adjustment - July 12-14,
2002
Dr. David Matsumoto, San Francisco State University, USA
(Convener)
There are 13 participants in
this seminar from eight different countries. The largest number come from
India, which also provided the largest number of applications.
ARTS # 3: Work Place Safety,
System Safety and Psychology - July 13-15,
2002
Professor Bernhard Wilpert
& Dr. Babette Fahlbruch, Berlin University of Technology (Conveners)
Although one participant had
to withdraw due to a last-minute illness, there are still 13 participants in
this seminar from 8 different countries.
A good number of participants come from India as the abstract for the
seminar cited the Bhopal, India industrial accident as an example of a
system-safety problem that psychology could address.
