  • Every major specialized perspective from psychology is welcome, including but not limited to: neuroscience, development, cognition, personality, motivation, social, industrial/organizational, and clinical. Science education is also a welcome perspective
• Facilitate the exchange of information and experience among its members;

• Promote the development of new professional opportunities; and
• Promote the application of psychology to the study of thought and behavior in science and technology as a means of promoting human welfare by conducting
  • Research on the psychology of science and technology has the potential to inform policy, education, and business in selecting, recruiting, training, teaching, and hiring scientific and technological students and personnel.
  • Research aimed at furthering our understanding of recruiting, recognizing, and retaining scientific talent shall therefore be a priority.
• Toward this end, the Society shall foster interdisciplinary collaborations and research with educators, government agencies, business leaders, and scientists themselves.
