Dear colleagues: This is an invitation to contribute to a special issue in the Swiss Journal of Psychology devoted to «Studying the Internet: A challenge for modern psychology». Guest editors will be Kai Sassenberg (University of Jena, Germany), Margarete Boos (University of Göttingen, Germany), Tom Postmes (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands), and myself. The issue will appear in 2003 (deadline January 31, 2002). It will focus on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological approaches to applications of the Internet, including, but not limited to, studies that focus on Web-based experimentation, computer-mediated communication, hypertext navigation, interface design, and the impact of the Internet on "off-line life". Researchers who are investigating the psychological impact of the Internet in basic research as well as in educational, clinical, or business settings are cordially invited to submit their work. The special issue will emphasize empirical reports, but it may also include specialized theoretical and review papers. The call for paper is online at http://www.uni-jena.de/online-research/sjp.html Cheers, --u -- ********** Dr. Ulf-Dietrich Reips Anschrift/Address: Universität Zürich ICQ: 16739325 Psychologisches Institut Fax: 0041-1-6344929 Attenhoferstr. 9 CH-8032 Zürich, Switzerland Now available: *Dimensions of Internet Science* -> http://www.genpsy.unizh.ch/reips/dis/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Web Experimental Psychology Lab: http://www.psych.unizh.ch/genpsy/Ulf/Lab/WebExpPsyLab.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- Our Section's homepage: http://www.psych.unizh.ch/genpsy/
