SPPA seeks to form several Professional Divisions in upcoming years to provide forums for the exchange of information in specific areas of Performing Arts Psychology research and applications.
These division members will contribute to the Society in many ways, such as policy-making committees, writing technical reviews and position statements and other publications and act as liaisons to other organizations.
Some proposed divisions are listed here:
- Child Advocacy Division
- Developmental (Child and Adolescent) Psychology Division
- Division of Psychophysiology and Health Psychology
- Division of Social Cognitive Neuroscience
- Psychology in Piano Pedagogy Council
- Stress and Anxiety Division
- Peak Performance Division
These Divisions are suggestions and can be deleted, revised and others can be added. The importance of divisions, rather than simply "special interest group" is in it's purpose. The purpose of each division is to stimulate research on each issue and its treatment, to promote the psychological well-being of the participants within that population and help them achieve optimum benefit from their participation in the arts. These things will be implemented by training consultants and instructors regarding the behavioral and psychosocial aspects participation in Performing Arts, and to increase recognition of the importance of the behavioral and psychological aspects of participation in all aspects of the arts. |
