    A Scientometric Appreciation of H. J. Eysenck's Contributions to Psychology

    PERSONALITY AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES PERGAMON Personality and Individual Differences 31 (2001) 17-39 ---- www.elsevier.com/locate/paid A scientometric appreciation of H. J. Eysenck’s contributions to psychology J. Philippe Rushton * Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5C2 Received 16 July 2000 Abstract This article describes Hans Eysenck’s productivity, his citations, his students, his department, his journals, his personality in relation to his scientific achievement, his legacy, and a personal note of appreciation. Eysenck’s influence brought the “London School’’ of psychology into the twenty-first century. Originating in Darwin’s theory of evolution and the psychometrics of Galton, Spearman, Pearson, and Burt, Eysenck applied it to individual differences in social behavior and its modifiability. Even before starting his own department in 1950, Eysenck had begun work on his theory of personality, including its genetic and environmental basis and its applications to the neuroses. His work also examined the inefficacy of psycho­ analysis, the relation between heritable personality traits and crime, sexuality, genius, and race, and the use of behavior therapy and vitamin-mineral supplements to modify behavior. Before his death, Eysenck had published over 1000 journal articles and book chapters and 80 books, an average of an article or book chapter every 2 weeks for 50 years and a book every 9 months. When he died, he was the most cited living psychologist and he is the third most cited psychologist of all time (after Sigmund Freud and Jean Piaget). In this writer’s opinion, Hans Eysenck was the single most important psychologist who ever lived.

IBG is one of the top research facilities in the world for genetic research on behavior. Data collec- tion and analysis are ongoing for several internationally renowned studies, including the Colorado Adoption Project, the Longitudinal Twin Study, Colorado Twin Registry, the Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center, the Colorado Center on Antisocial Drug Dependence, and the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. IBG is home to one of the nation’s largest DNA repositories for genetic research on detailed, longitudinal studies of human behav- ior, and houses a wide array of behaviorally and genetically defined lines of selected, transgenic, knock-out and knock-in mice. Throughout its history IBG has been characterized by the breadth of its interdisciplinary research and training programs. Although the methodology of behavioral genetics is generally applicable to the study of individual differences for any characteristic, research at IBG is focused on behav- iors of societal relevance.
