GLBTQ+ Alliance in Social and Personality Psychology
an affiliate of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology
GASP is a nonprofit scientific and professional group open to all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and research interest.
GASP was founded in 2001 to provide social support and professional resources to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender students and faculty in social and personality psychology.
Through our annual meeting, this web site, and the active participation of members, we seek to accomplish the following goals:
- To maintain a safe and welcoming professional forum for LGBT students and faculty and their heterosexual allies;
- To serve as a resource for researchers, teachers, and other professionals;
- To promote the visibility of LGBT research and researchers in our field.
GASP was founded in 2001 by Lisa G. Aspinwall and Lisa M. Diamond, both members of the Psychology faculty at the University of Utah.
