4 PROLOGUE Dear colleagues, On behalf of the University of Latvia, Department of Psychology, we welcome you to the 11th European Conference on Psychological Assessment. We are very honoured to host this conference of the European Association of Psychological Assessment, in cooperation with the Union of Latvian Psychologists and the Latvian Professional Psychologists Association. We are very pleased that this conference will include presentations by scholars and students from four continents and 33 countries. Historically the former Hanseatic league city of Riga has been a multicultural centre as a geographical crossroads between eastern and western influences. Therefore, it seems quite appropriate that at this conference there will be quite an emphasis on psychological assessment challenges from a cross-cultural perspective, looking at both emic and etic solutions to problems of assessment within and across cultures. It is very fortunate for us to have the European Conference on Psychological Assessment being held in Riga at this precise moment in time. Although during the first half of the 20th century some initial psychological research was being carried out in Latvia, during the Soviet period teaching and research in psychology was greatly restricted, and only in 1989 was the first psychologist training program initiated, at the University of Latvia. During the past seven years the psychology researchers of Latvia have been particularly active in regard to test adaptation and standardization as well as with the development of original assessment instruments. The 11th European Conference on Psychological Assessment scientific program includes a very wide spectrum of presentations from the various branches of psychology organizational psychology, clinical psychology, educational psychology, cognitive psyhology, personality psychology, positive psychology and others. The scientific program also provides an opportunity to hear the latest on technological advances in psychological assessment as well as to consider specific problems within the assessment process. Very interesting will also be some direct challenges to underlying principles of contemporary psychological assessment., which will thereby provide opportunity for lively discussion and debate.
