About Us
Our Awards
The Society for General Psychology’s goal is to
create coherence among psychology’s diverse
specialties by encouraging members to incorporate
multiple perspectives from psychology’s subdisciplines into their research, theory, and practice.
Division 1 welcomes membership from academic
scientists, professional practitioners, and psychologists whose main concern is the public interest.

Our Publications
Journal
Review of General Psychology, the Division 1 journal,
seeks to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual, or methodological articles that cross-cut the
traditional subdisciplines of psychology. The journal
contains articles that advance theory, evaluate
and integrate research literatures, provide a new
historical analysis, or discuss new methodological
developments in psychology as a whole.
Newsletter
The General Psychologist, the official newsletter of
Division 1, is published two to three times annually.
It includes division announcements, coverage of
events, book reviews, and theoretical discussions
spanning across the discipline of psychology.
Books
The Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology series
dates back to the mid-1970s when Patricia KeithSpiegel, Norman Weckler, Michael Wertheimer and
Wilson Wilsoncroft invited well-known psychologists to present informal biographies of giants in
the history of psychology at the conventions of
the Western and Rocky Mountain Psychological
Associations.
Arthur W. Staats Lecture for Unifying
Psychology
This award is funded through the American
Psychological Foundation after nomination by
Division 1. The lecture is presented at the APA
convention.
Our Mentoring Program
Division 1 is pleased to announce a new mentoring
program designed to help Early Career Psychologists successfully navigate the beginning of their
careers. Mentors can offer advice and guidance
regarding the key elements of academic life—
teaching, research, and service. They can also offer
wisdom gained by experience regarding learning to
balance one’s time, serving on college or university
committees, networking successfully, and learning
to deal with departmental or workplace politics.
Naturally, too, mentors can provide advice on research aspirations, creating a professional CV and
writing cover letters, and recommending ways for
junior colleagues to become active in the American
Psychological Association, particularly Division 1.
