WHAT IS CASPA?
CASPA is an organization of professionals interested in social
psychology as it is broadly defined. Our meetings provide an
opportunity to stay current with social psychology both inside
outside our day-to-day specialties. Atendees come from academic,
governmental, and consulting environments. The "Capital Area" is
also broadly defined. People come from as far away as southern
and western VA, WV, DE, and Southern PA. The schedule provides
ample opportunity to renew old acquaintanceships and to form new
ones.

Our programs are very eclectic. Session formats can be a single
speaker, panel discussions, symposia, or whatever someone would
like to suggest.

In the past we have made contact with potentially interested
persons by maintaining our own mailing list and obtaining lists
from other organizations. Recently, SPSSI, SASP, Div 48 (Peace
Psychology) have provided lists of their members. If you have
names of persons or organizations we should include on our lists
please let us know. Since we have no dues, we stay afloat
financially by doing joint mailings with other organizations. For
example, we have had our mailing supported by a local county that
wanted to advertise for social psychologists, by the APA Public
Interest Directorate, and by the Political Psych Summer School.
