2nd Meeting of the German Political Psychology Network
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM AND REGISTRATION:
// Information about the Meeting
The Second Scientific Meeting
The second scientific meeting of the German Political Psychology Network was organized by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Friedrich Schiller University Jena and will be held as an online event on February 25 and 26, 2021. Attending the conference is free of charge. The entire conference will be held in English. We put together a scientific program with 20 research panels and two special panels including an event for early career researchers. Research presentations touch upon a variety of different topics such as voting behavior, political ideology, political communication and intergroup conflict. This program contains an overview of the time schedule and detailed information on each presentation.
The meeting will take place within the conference tool qiqochat enabling presentations, interactions and networking in an online setting. When entering the qiqochat environment with your access data, you will have permission to all panels at their scheduled time (CET). All presentations will be held live in zoom, which is embedded in qiqochat. To facilitate network and exchange outside the panel discussions, we will also implement the virtual space wonder. This tool creates an area where you can interact with other conference attendees and presenters individually and in groups during coffee breaks via video chat.
Registration for this Meeting
In order to participate at the meeting, you have to register via this link. After successfully signing up for the conference, the event management tool eventbrite will provide you with a personalized link to the conference environment.
In order to minimize not only technical problems but also negative side-effects from a lack of offline interaction, please make sure you sign up in qiqochat one day before the conference takes place and personalize your account with your name, a picture of yourself and some information about your research interests. This will facilitate online interaction by a lot and familiarizes you with the tool. Please also login early at the day of the event. We provide a one-hour time slot (Check-in QiqoChat) that is reserved for technical introductions into the system. During that time, we will help with getting to know the environment.
Information for Presenters
All presentations will be held live in Zoom. As a presenter, you are expected to share your screen with slides for the presentation. Please make yourself familiar with zoom and its functionality before the meeting. Each presentation is scheduled for 20 minutes including discussion. We recommend a presentation time of around 12 minutes to leave enough time for discussion on your topic. The entire conference will be held in English.
Collection of Presentations
Presentations and discussions will not be recorded. However, all presenters can upload their presentations into an OSF online repository (https://osf.io/3hu2x/) to make them accessible to all conference attendees.

Political Psychology is a growing field of research at the intersection between Psychology, Political Science and Communication Science. In January 2020, the first meeting of the German Political Psychology Network was held at the FernUniversität in Hagen. This network connects an interdisciplinary group of scientists from Germany and beyond.
Today, we invite you to the second meeting of the German Political Psychology Network, to be held as an online meeting on February 25th (afternoon) and February 26th (morning) 2021. This meeting is organized by a group of researchers from the Friedrich-Schiller University Jena. There will be no participation fee.
We want to bring together researchers in the field of Political Psychology for a scientific meeting that aims at:
- exchanging research ideas,
- developing collaborations, and
- discussing hot topics.
Researchers in all stages of their career are invited to participate and present. The meeting will also be open to all research topics related to political psychology.
We call for submissions in the following categories:

- Individual presentations. This category is open to diverse kinds of stand-alone presentations,** **including research presentations, registered reports, pre-analysis plans, information on projects that have recently received funding or project proposals that require a more collaborative multi-lab approach.
- Round table discussions. This category provides room for debates and discussions on conceptual or theoretical hot topics.
