Greetings from the coordinators of the
Occasional Temperament Conference-2004!
receive the rate for the conference!
This conference is the most current in the tradition of the Occasional Temperament Conferences. These conferences have typically occurred every 18 to 36 months, and they allow for temperament researchers, practitioners, and other interested scholars to come together to discuss common interests. In addition, this conference is conceived of as a follow-up to the Wassenaar (1991) conference, which was among the first to bring together U.S. and European temperament and personality psychologists to address issues of the development of adult and child personality from early childhood temperament. Some of the topics to be covered at the current conference include: issues of structure, consensus on temperament traits of primary importance, interface between temperament and personality, the biological basis of temperament and child personality, and the predictive utility of temperament/personality constructs in childhood.
The conference will be held at The University of Georgia (Athens, GA, USA) on October 28-31, 2004 and will consist of presentations all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Meetings will be held in the newly completed state-of-the-art Student Learning Center. The space will accommodate presentations,poster sessions, and informal meetings among attendees.
