THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE AND MISSION OF THE ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH PSYCHOLOGISTS (AJP) IS TO BE THE SCIENTIFIC AND PROFESSIONAL HOME OF JEWISH AND NON-JEWISH LIKE-MINDED PSYCHOLOGISTS WHOSE PRIMARY FOCUS IS JEWISH CULTURE, ETHNICITY, RELIGION, INCLUDING ISSUES OF ANTISEMITISM. AJP SERVES AS A CLEARINGHOUSE THAT PROMOTES THE PSYCHOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF JEWISH HISTORY, CULTURE, RELIGION, AND ETHNICITY, AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO OUR FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THE LARGER SOCIETY. AJP PROMOTES RESEARCH ON THE EFFICACY OF A BROAD RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM. AJP DISSEMINATES KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, ITS CULTURE, VARYING CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS SUBGROUPS RELATED TO FORCED MIGRATION TO THE DIASPORA, AND A SHARED IDENTITY AS A PEOPLE, ROOTED IN A COMMON IDENTIFICATION WITH ITS JEWISH HOMELAND, NOW FOUND IN MODERN DAY ISRAEL. AJP PROMOTES RESEARCH ON THE PREDICTORS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ANTISEMITISM AND HATRED DIRECTED AT TARGETED GROUPS.
