13. biannual congress of the swiss psychological society. crossing borders. the motto of the congress seems an obvious choice for a scientifc meeting in a city bordering on two different countries. yet crossing borders is not only a welcomed geografical possibility in basel, but also presents a challenge and necessecity in psychological science. from this perspective, next to being strong and significant in its own realm, psychological sciences have serious and far reaching repercussions across various disciplines. further, psychology is strongly influenced by its neighbouring disciplines as well as by societal developments. it is therefore the aim of the congress to display the wide array of findings of psychological research from both within its borders - and beyond.
