the Society for Research on Identity Formation (SRIF).
The conference will be held at the Asilomar Conference
Center (http://www.visitasilomar.com/)

Instructions for
Preparing Submissions
If you are interested in
submitting a proposal, it is important that you read
this document carefully and pay close attention to the
instructions while you are preparing your proposal(s).
If you have questions, please contact the program
committee (listed below). Improperly prepared
proposals will NOT be reviewed.
Proposals should address
key issues of concern to identity researchers and
theorists. SRIF is an interdisciplinary organization and
strongly encourages submissions from a diversity of
fields such as psychology, sociology, family studies,
and anthropology. Preference will be given to
interactive sessions and to empirical paper symposia
that aim at integrating a particular topic area;
theoretical and pedagogical presentations are also
welcome. All methodologies appropriate to the
discipline, the data and the issue under study are
acceptable (including small sample, single subject and
qualitative designs). Empirical submissions should
summarize data already collected and must include
sufficient report of data analysis for reviewers to
evaluate it. Research proposals (i.e., those without
completed data analyses) will be considered for poster
sessions only.
