* '''Understanding creativity as it relates to happiness, health, innovation and entrepreneurship.'''
** ''We aim to develop interventions and strategies for individuals in the USA and abroad (with partners such as [[Innovations for Poverty Action]]) to develop key skills (e.g., [[Openness to experience|openness to new experiences]]) needed for entrepreneurship.''

=== History ===
IPSR was founded in 1949 by Director [[Donald W. MacKinnon]] and Associate Director [[Nevitt Sanford]]. [[Donald W. MacKinnon]] was the IPAR Director from 1949-1970. At that time IPSR was called IPAR: the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research. The name was changed in 1992 to The Institute of Personality and Social Research to reflect a broader research agenda of the Institute and associated Faculty members.
The Institute's roots can be traced back to Henry Murray's Psychological Clinic at Harvard in the 1930s (where both MacKinnon and Sanford had been trained) and to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) personnel assessment centers that were established during World War II (MacKinnon directed one of these centers). Subsequent Directors of IPSR include: [[Richard Crutchfield|Richard S. Crutchfield]], [[Harrison G. Gough]], [[Kenneth Craik|Kenneth H. Craik]], [[Philip E. Tetlock|Philip Tetlock]], and Robert W. Levenson as well as several interim directors. Currently the first female Director, [[Dana R. Carney]], is leading IPSR.
