ACPID is the premier scientific society in Australasia for personality and individual differences research. Researchers with interests in traits, abilities, and other aspects of human variation will find a receptive multidisciplinary audience to engage with their work. Our annual conference draws widely from all areas of psychology, including:

  • Personality and individual differences (eg, traits, abilities, personality dynamics)
  • Affective science (eg, emotion regulation, wellbeing, experience sampling)
  • Organisational and applied psychology (eg, performance, leadership, coaching)
  • Clinical psychology and counselling (eg, neurodiversity, personality change)
  • Methods and measurement (eg, metascience, reproducibility, psychometrics)
  • Cognitive and biological approaches (eg, personality neuroscience)

Past Keynotes and Invited Symposia at ACPID include:

  • Prof Tamlin Conner (University of Otago, NZ)
  • Prof Peggy Kern (University of Melbourne, Aus)
  • Prof Colin MacLeod (University of Western Australia, Aus)
  • Prof Brian Little (University of Pennsylvania, US)
  • Prof Michal Kosinksi (University of Stanford, US)

We are delighted to announce that in 2024, ACPID will be hosted at the University of New South Wales, in Sydney, Australia on December 5 and 6.

Professor Chris Jackson and the UNSW Business School will host ACPID in 2024. The program will feature a range of basic and applied research from various areas of psychology. 

If you arrive early, come along to Pavillions on the Northen end of Coogee Beach for pre-conference drinks on Wednesday 4th December. Look for me (see photo below) on the ground floor between 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm
