George A. Miller Award for an Outstanding Recent Article on General Psychology
The Miller Award is chosen by colleagues from Division 1. The winner will be announced at the annual convention of the APA the year of submission. The first author will be expected to give an invited address at the subsequent APA convention and also to provide a copy of the award presentation for inclusion in the newsletter of the society (The General Psychologist). The authors will each receive a certificate and the first author will receive a cash prize of $1,000 to help defray travel expenses for that convention.
Annual deadline: February 15
