Nancy Collins Receives Theoretical Innovation Prize

 

Nancy Collins received the 2007 Theoretical Innovation Prize from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology for stimulating “new ways of thinking” about risk regulation in relationships. Collins’ paper, coauthored with Sandra Murray and John Holmes in Psychological Bulletin, focuses on ways in which partners in romantic relationships balance the goals of maximizing closeness while minimizing the likelihood and pain of rejection. The SPSP Theoretical Innovation prize recognizes an article or book chapter judged to provide the most innovative theoretical contribution to social or personality psychology within a given year.
