The Kuo Shu Yang Medal Award (AASP Lifetime Contribution Award), first awarded in 2019, is given in conference years to honour AASP members who have made outstanding lifetime contributions to Asian social psychology. Awardees will be presented with a “Kuo-Shu Yang Medal” which will bear the image of Yang laoshi, upon delivery of their award lecture at an AASP conference. They will also receive travel costs to attend the AASP Biennial Conference at which they will deliver their address, and complimentary conference registration (lifetime)
