The authors describe their personal T career journeys, the signifi cant people and events that infl uenced their paths, the major turning points, the main decisions, the challenges, the opportuni- ties and setbacks they experienced, and how the lessons they learned along the way may shine a beacon for future social psychologists. Taken together, these chapters chronicle the history of modern social psychology. Also, we believe they will serve as inspiration and counsel to students considering a career in social psychology. This book grew out of two remarkable events, the Yosemite conferences of 1997 and 2006, both of which were sponsored by the Department of Psychology at California State University, Fresno. Both of these meetings took place in an idyllic setting on the edge of Yosemite National Park. The conferences followed the same general format: one- and one-half days of presentations from a small group of exceptional invited participants, along with ample time for formal and informal discussion between the participants and conference attendees. In the fi rst Yosemite conference, we brought together nine distinguished senior social psychologists to refl ect on the history of the discipline that they were very much a part of creating. (The book Refl ections on One Hundred Years of Experimental Social Psychology [Rodrigues & Levine, 1999] and a video from the conference were produced.) The second Yosemite conference, which took place in the spring of 2006, focused on a theme that was more about people. On this occasion, as in this book, we asked participants to describe the course of their own career journeys. Some participants from the fi rst Yosemite conference attended as discussants. Each of the eight presenters at Yosemite II have contributed chapters to this book: Robert Cialdini, Edward Diener, Alice Eagly, Aroldo Rodrigues, Robert Rosenthal, Shelley Taylor, Harry Triandis, and Bernard Weiner. Also in this book are chapters from fi ve of the presenters at the fi rst Yosemite conference: Morton Deutsch, Harold Gerard, Harold Kelley, Bertram Raven, and Philip Zimbardo. Some of the material in these latter chapters originally appeared in the fi rst Yosemite book but, we believe, fi ts more properly into the current theme. We thank Joann Miller of Basic Books for permission to use this material. Harold Kelley and Harold Gerard died in early 2003. We modifi ed their chapters for the present book with the input and the approval of their wives, Dorothy Kelley and Desy Gerard, respectively. vii RRT61343_C000e.inddT61343_C000e.indd vviiii 110/31/070/31/07 99:57:23:57:23 AAMM viii PREFACE We owe thanks to many people. The Yosemite II conference was generously supported by Jeronima Echeverria, provost and vice president for academic affairs, and Kin Ping Wong, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics at California State University, Fresno. Thanks are also due to Sheri Osborn, Christine Thiboudeax, and Liliana Oceguera for their outstanding supportive roles in the organization of this endeavor. Many graduate and undergraduate students of California State University, Fresno dedicated hours of their time to the conference that led to the present book. Debra Riegert, our editor at Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, and Rebecca Larsen, her editorial assistant, were supportive and helpful in every phase of the production of this volume. Finally, we wish to express a special word of thanks to the anonymous reviewers who took time to read the manuscript and make many helpful suggestions. Without the concerted effort of many, this book could not have come to light.

You will read fi rst-person accounts of the history and events that guided their I career paths, the people and places that made a difference in their lives, the stepping-stones they took, the detours and bumps on their roads, and the choices they made along the way. What makes for a successful social psychologist? Is there a social psychologist type—a personality or typical value system—that is drawn to the discipline? Or is the attraction mostly the result of happenstance and quirks of experience, perhaps a defi ning life event or an inspirational professor? Is there a path that personifi es the great teachers? The best researchers? Can we predict or explain why one person’s career takes a particular course while the next person’s moves in another? Why do different people make different choices along the way? Why can the same decision have such different consequences for different people? No people should be more qualifi ed to answer questions like these than social psychologists. Charting the course of individuals through situations is, after all, what social psychology is about. Modern social psychology was founded on the belief that an interdisciplinary approach was needed to take on such broad, unwieldy questions about life. We are a hybrid of two older disciplines: personality psychology and sociology. The fi rst of these tends to focus on the private, internal functioning of people; the latter focuses on their social groups. Social psychologists, at our best, take in the entire dynamic picture, across space and time. We study the give and take between individuals and the environments that guide their behavior, what our founding father Kurt Lewin called the “life space.” Our fl agship journal is aptly titled the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP). Social psychologists are used to studying the most personal of subject matters. Our bread-and-butter topics include questions about the self, persuasion, helping and altruism, aggression and violence, prejudice, and even the dynamics of liking and love. When social psychologists study the interaction of people in their environments, they are studying the living of life itself. Thematically, then, the study of career paths fi ts neatly into the domain of social psychology. The chapters that follow, however, are hardly what we are used to reading from mainstream social psychologists. Although the content fi ts in the mainstream, the form does not. Social psychology, at least as it is practiced in today’s world of academia, is among the most empirical and methodologically rig- orous of disciplines. Look through practically any social psychological textbook and ix RRT61343_C000f.inddT61343_C000f.indd iixx 001/11/20071/11/2007 112:34:502:34:50 x INTRODUCTION you will be hard pressed to fi nd a theory or concept or even a comment that is not accompanied by empirical, scientifi cally derived research fi ndings. Our fl agship journals are almost totally composed of empirical studies or empirically grounded theories. If social psychologists were asked to write an article about career paths for one of our academic journals, most of them would approach the problem via either or both of two tracks.

Bernard Tursky was an academic trail blazer and pioneer extraordinaire. Raised in New York City, Bernard immigrated to the U.S. with his grandparents and brothers at the age of three. Circumstances demanded that he cease his formal education after the eighth grade in order to support his family. Bernie or “Profes- sor” as I affectionately referred to him represented as close an embodiment of the self-taught “Renaissance Man” I have ever met or will likely ever come across again. To enter Bernie’s office was to enter a veritable library of classic and contemporary texts, and reference manuals on topics such as electrical engineering, classic psychology, political science, medical sciences, physiology, psy- chiatry, systems theory, and mathematics. His academic career began as a technical engineer at MIT, and as his reputation grew as an ingenious developer of laboratory equipment and programming, he was recruited by the Massachusetts Mental Health Center.

  • NUMBER 52 Socializing for Modernization in a Multi-Ethnic Elite
    NUMBER 52 Socializing for Modernization in a Multi-Ethnic Elite John A. Armstrong Conference on Entrepreneurship and Economic Innovation in Russia/Soviet Union Sponsored by Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies November 16-18, 1978 Washington, D.C. DRAFT PAPER - NOT FOR CITATION SOCIALIZING FOR MODER!~IZATION IN A MULTI-ETHNIC ELITE John A. Armstrong Few historical topics are more important than economic modernization in the Russian polity. 4ike other experiences in economic development, the Russian experience has been highly complex. Certainly one component has been the role of the entrepreneur. Yet, this role itself is a very complex one; failure to separate the many components of the role and to define them analytically has probably caused even more mischief in Russian studies than in examinations of other polities. This essay rests on considerable thought and a limited amount of research on topics close to the theme of entrepreneurial response. There is no intention, however, of presenting a research report on entrepreneurs in the Russian polity, or even laying an adequate groundwork for such research, which ought to be pursued in many directions. The purpose is clarification of the problem, insofar as that preliminary step can be taken by reflection and discussion. At certain points in the analysis a modest element of comparison is introduced. These comparisons are far from fully elaborated, hence they may eventually turn out to be superficial analogies. Given the relative isolation in which so much of Russian area studies has proceeded, even preliminary suggestions of novel analogies to developments elsewhere appear to be appropriate.

  • A Century of Social Psychology: Individuals, Ideas, and Investigations GEORGE R
    1 A Century of Social Psychology: Individuals, Ideas, and Investigations GEORGE R. GOETHALS ^ f INTRODUCTION This chapter tells an exciting story of intellectual discovery. At the start of the twentieth century, social psy- chology began addressing age-old philosophical questions using scientific methods. What was the nature of human nature, and did the human condition make it possible for people to work together for good rather than for evil? Social pschology first addressed these questions by looking at the overall impact of groups on individuals and then began to explore more refined questions about social influence and social perception. How do we understand persuasion, stereotypes and prejudice, differences between men and women, and how culture affects thoughts and behavior? In 1954, in his classic chapter on the historical govem themselves. In The Republic, Plato argued that background of modem social psychology, Gordon men organize themselves and form governments Allport nominated Auguste Comte as the founder because they cannot achieve all their goals as of social psychology as a science.

  • Theoretical Intersections Between Sandra Bem's Scholarship And
    Running head: QUEERING BEM 1 Queering Bem: Theoretical Intersections between Sandra Bem’s Scholarship and Queer Theory QUEERING BEM 2 Abstract Sandra Bem revolutionized psychology with her research on gender, androgyny, and gender schematicity, which culminated in her book, The Lenses of Gender. Her work also provides a model for how to cross inter-disciplinary lines to enhance scholarship and reach political goals. We analyze similarities and differences between Bem's scholarship and scholarship in queer theory, a theoretical movement in the humanities that analyzes discourses that construct man/woman and straight/gay binaries. There are important overlaps between Bem’s lenses of gender (biological essentialism, gender polarization, and androcentrism) and the ideas of many queer theorists. There are also several interesting differences between Bem’s ideas and queer theory: attention to the intrapsychic processes that make up gender, the extent to which individuals can be liberated from gender, proliferating versus contesting gender, intersectionality, and epistemology and methodology. By assessing the similarities and differences between Bem and queer theorists, we show that the two complement each other, affording a better understanding of gender and sexuality. Additionally, both Bem and queer theory lend insight into feminist and queer activism. The theoretical and political advances that can be made by integrating Bem’s ideas and those of queer theorists serve as examples for why it is worthwhile to cross disciplinary lines. Keywords: gender roles, queer theory, feminism, sexuality QUEERING BEM 3 Introduction The process of becoming a feminist or queer psychologist is often rooted in multi- disciplinary entanglements (Herrmann & Stewart, 1994). Many of us gain our training not only in seminar classes in psychology departments but also in multidisciplinary gender and women’s studies classrooms.

  • A History of Mixed-Race Women in the United States During the Early Twentieth Century
    Of Double-Blooded Birth: A History of Mixed-Race Women in the United States during the Early Twentieth Century Jemma Grace Carter Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies at the University of East Anglia, School of Arts, Media, and American Studies January 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Often homogenised into broader narratives of African-American history, the historical experience of mixed-race women of black-white descent forms the central research focus of this thesis. Examining the lives of such women offers a valuable insight into how notions of race, class, gender and physical aesthetics were understood, articulated and negotiated throughout the United States during the early-twentieth century. Through an analysis of wide-ranging primary source material, from letters, diaries and autobiographies to advertisements, artwork and unpublished poetry, this thesis provides an interdisciplinary contribution to the field of Critical Mixed Race Studies, and African- American history. It builds on existing interpretations of the Harlem Renaissance by considering the significance of mixed-racial heritage on the formation of literature produced by key individuals over the period. Moreover, this research reveals that many of the visual and literary sources typically studied in isolation in fact informed one another, and had a profound impact on how factors such as beauty, citizenship, and respectability intersected, and specifically influenced the lives of mixed-race women.

During these years two field studies and a number of laboratory experiments have been done. This compilation presents the reports of the laboratory studies together with a theoretical integration of the work which has been done to date. These studies have centered mainly on two sets of problems, namely, communication stemming from pres• sures toward uniformity in groups and communication in hierarchical structures. The reports of the experiments in this compilation are grouped along these lines. While all of the studies were done at the Research Center for Group Dynamics, some of the authors have since gone elsewhere. Kurt Back is now on the staff of the United States Bureau of the Census.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES STANLEY SCHACHTER 1922–1997 A Biographical Memoir by RICHARD E. NISBETT Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 78 PUBLISHED 2000 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Courtesy of Columbia University. STANLEY SCHACHTER April 15, 1922–June 7, 1997 BY RICHARD E. NISBETT TANLEY SCHACHTER was one of the very few social psycholo- Sgists ever elected to the National Academy of Sciences (in 1983). His contributions ranged across the study of com- munication and social influence, group processes, sources of the affiliation motive, intellectual and temperamental correlates of birth order, nature of emotional experience, people’s ability to correctly attribute the causes of their behavior to external versus internal factors, causes of obesity and eating behavior disorders, the addictive nature of nicotine, psychological reactions to events that affect stock market prices, and the proper interpretation of “filled” (“uh,” “er”) pauses in speech. Few, if any, social psychologists ever made contributions over a wider range of topics. Remark- ably, the diverse content of the contributions was tied to- gether by a small number of powerful theoretical concepts. Stanley Schachter was born on April 15, 1922, to Nathan and Anna Schachter in Flushing, then a semi-rural part of Queens, New York. Knowing that he wanted to go away to school, but knowing nothing of the rarefied and preppy atmosphere he was about to enter, he chose Yale, where he initially majored in art history. He stayed on for a master’s degree in Yale’s psychology department, which he found 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS far more to his liking than the undergraduate school.

  • Needs and Subjective Well-Being Around the World
    PERSONALITY PROCESSES AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Needs and Subjective Well-Being Around the World Louis Tay Ed Diener University of Illinois at Urbana—Champaign University of Illinois at Urbana—Champaign and The Gallup Organization, Omaha, Nebraska Across a sample of 123 countries, we examined the association between the fulfillment of needs and subjective well-being (SWB), including life evaluation, positive feelings, and negative feelings. Need fulfillment was consistently associated with SWB across world regions. Life evaluation was most associated with fulfilling basic needs; positive feelings were most associated with social and respect needs; and negative feelings were most associated with basic, respect, and autonomy needs. Societal need fulfillment predicted SWB, particularly for life evaluation, beyond individuals’ fulfillment of their own needs, indicating the desirability of living in a flourishing society. In addition, the associations of SWB with the fulfillment of specific needs were largely independent of whether other needs were fulfilled. These trends persisted when household income was taken into account. The emergent ordering of need fulfillment for psychosocial needs were fairly consistent across country conditions, but the fulfillment of basic and safety needs were contingent on country membership. Keywords: universal needs, subjective well-being, societal context, ordering of needs, income In the current study, we examined the association between need universal needs that do not require secondary pairing with more fulfillment and subjective well-being (SWB). For many years, the basic needs to influence SWB. idea of universal needs was out of favor because it was widely Ryff and Keyes (1995) and Ryan and Deci (2000), like Maslow believed that socialization uniquely shapes the causes of well- (1954) before them, proposed that there are universal human needs being for each person and in each culture.
