P4 focuses upon our upcoming stand-alone conference in Evanston and catches us up on developments in ARP, in its journal(s) and on the comings and goings of personality researchers. In P3 I posed the question “which university department has the greatest representation of faculty and graduate students in ARP?.” The winner is Washington University at St. Louis and we have a major feature on this splendid hotbed of personality science. We also have a report on a conference of personality researchers in Japan which shows the growth and vitality of this field in that country. We also encourage researchers from other countries to keep us abreast of their activities. ARP is increasingly international in scope and membership and we are eager to find out about developments in other regions of the world. P4 is my final issue as Editor of P: The Online Newsletter for Personality Science. I would like to take this opportunity to extend thanks to a number of individuals who have made P a “hot link” in a sense for those of us committed to the development of personality science. Dr. Jennifer Lodi-Smith began as the Student Editor of P, and has now entered into the postdoctoral and faculty ranks. Working on a joint project with someone as high on agreeableness and conscientiousness as Jenn is a treat indeed. She is fully a partner in the growth of P and its offshoots, such as the Plog we have established for updates to announcements on jobs etc.. Many thanks, Jenn, for your warm collegiality. Bill Revelle our President has prepared commentaries for each of the Ps published during his presidency. It would have been sufficient for him to have just written a few words of update and good cheer, but Bill has written thoughtful, substantive reflections on ARP and on the distinctive role that personality science is playing and can play in the future. This has been deeply appreciated. Finally, I want to thank Robert Hogan of Hogan Assessment for his support of the newsletter. Bob has a wonderful commitment to personality science and to ensuring that the academic and applied sides of the field develop in tandem. His support has been exemplary and we are all grateful to him. I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the exceptional confluence of personality researchers taking place in Evanston in July. It should be a wonderful chance to advance our science, refresh collegial bonds and have some fun. Cheers, and thanks to all. Brian R. Little, Editor |
