Social Psychology Section of the American Sociological Association Social Psychology Fall 1998 Newsletter of the Social Psychology Section of the American Sociological Association Social Psychology Fall 1998 SECTION OFFICERS Chair CHAIRS REMARKS Linda D. Molm University of Arizona [email protected] Linda D. Molm, University of Arizona [email protected] Chair-Elect Lynn Smith-Lovin At a time when some sections are struggling for survival, the Social Psychology Section University of Arizona is stronger than ever. For as long as I can remember, our membership has hovered around [email protected] the 600 mark, creating some anxiety each year about whether we would qualify for four sessions on the ASA program. This past year, thanks to Ed Lawler's leadership and the Secretary-Treasurer Donald C. Reitzes (2001) hard work of the membership committee (chaired by Doug Maynard), we boosted our Georgia State University numbers to a far more comfortable level: 652! Thanks and congratulations to all of you [email protected] who made this possible. And, a special welcome to our new members. Please continue to encourage your colleagues and graduate students to support social psychology by Council Denise Bielby (00) joining the section. University of California I'm sure that all of you who attended the social psychology sessions at this year's ASA at Santa Barbara meetings found them as stimulating as I did. It was a great program, highlighted by [email protected] David Heise's receipt of the Cooley-Mead Award. I hope next year's program in Chicago Phillip Bonacich (99) will be equally exciting. Our theme for 1999 will be "Social Psychological Perspectives on University of California Inequality." Not only is inequality a core concern of both our discipline and our society, it at Los Angeles is a topic that has concerned social psychologists from all of our "faces." Often, though, [email protected] social psychological contributions to understanding inequality are overlooked by other Marta Elliott (2001) sociologists and by policy makers. By focusing on how social psychologists from diverse University of Nevada at Reno perspectives have explained the causes and consequences of inequality, I hope to show- [email protected] case our contributions and encourage us to think about how our different perspectives complement each other, and how our work as a whole relates to the larger discipline. Guillermina Jasso (99) New York University Three sessions of the program will be organized as a mini-conference on this theme [email protected] (see page 3). The first session will feature invited papers on theoretical frameworks that explain how inequality is created, sustained, and challenged, and its implications for Joanne M. Kaufman (00) individuals. The second session will bring together a group of invited panelists to (Student Member) Emory University explore the implications of social psychological research for problems of inequality in [email protected] society, such as poverty, welfare, and discrimination of various kinds. The third session is open to submissions of papers on all aspects of inequality, from all social psychologi- Jill Kiecolt (00) cal traditions. In addition to the mini-conference, we will have our usual session of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University roundtables, which are open to any topic. If you have suggestions for the program or [email protected] other section activities, please let me know. Finally, let me thank those who agreed to chair, or serve on, section committees next Robin W. Simon (2001) year (listed on page 4). I appreciate your hard work on behalf of the section and look University of Iowa [email protected] forward to working with you and the other section members in the year ahead.

The ASA meetings were a great success and Willie also alerted [email protected] us to some inconsistencies in the bylaws. Consequently, this year when you Council receive your ballots, you will also receive changes to the bylaws for approval.

I would also like to thank [email protected] the members of the council who stepped down this last year: Karen Hegtvedt Diane Felmlee (2007) after serving her three years as secretary-treasurer, Mark Konty after serving in Univ. of California - Davis the student member position for two years, and Dave Snow and Spencer Cahill [email protected] after serving for three years on the council.

    Newsletter of the Social Psychology Section of the American Sociological Association Social Psychology Fall 1997 SECTION OFFICERS Chair Edward J. Lawler Cornell University [email protected] FROM THE CHAIR Edward J. Lawler, Cornell University Chair-Elect Linda Molm University of Arizona The Social Psychology Section is in solid shape, intellectually and financially. As of [email protected] the ASA meeting, we had 598 members which is not quite enough (600) to qualify for four sessions on the 1998 program. However, section memberships tend to rise at the ASA Secretary-Treasurer Brian Powell (98) meetings and the section council was made aware of this potential problem and asked to Indiana University help recruit new members in the month after the meetings. By the time you receive this [email protected] newsletter, we should be over the cutoff of 600 members. While there may be no cause for immediate worry, it is noteworthy that the section membership has hovered around 600 Council Denise Bielby (00) for several years, and I think we should make a concerted effort this year to increase our University of California membership in the hope of stabilizing membership at a higher level. The membership at Santa Barbara committee (chaired by Doug Maynard) will consider some steps toward this goal, and if [email protected] you have ideas, we would appreciate having them. We can all help, of course, by encour- Phillip Bonacich (99) aging our graduate students and colleagues to join the section.
