Hosted by The Department of Social Psychology University of Amsterdam

We are very pleased that you are attending the 2015 ASPO conference in Amsterdam. We received an exceptionally large number of submissions this year, out of which we selected a set of excellent talks and posters on a great variety of topics. We are confident that the next two days will showcase an overview of the best recent social psychological research conducted by both junior and senior researchers in the Netherlands. In addition, we are delighted to present two inspiring keynote speakers, Bruce Hood and Bianca Beersma. The conference will be held in the center of Amsterdam, in one of the oldest buildings of the University of Amsterdam: the Oudemanhuispoort. On Thursday evening we will have dinner at the atmospheric restaurant 'In de Waag' on the Nieuwmarkt. We would like to thank all the volunteers who helped with the organization of this conference. We look forward to the next two days, and hope you will have a very enjoyable and inspiring conference!
