Famous Psychologist Research Paper
Background:
Steven J. Haggbloom recently attempted to identify the 100 most eminent psychologists of the twentieth century (see the first 25 listed below). Eminence was assessed by scores on three quantitative variables and three qualitative variables. The quantitative variables were journal citation frequency, introductory psychology textbook citation frequency, and survey response frequency. The qualitative variables were National Academy of Science membership, election as American Psychological Association president or receipt of the APA Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award, and surname used as a eponym (i.e., a psychological term such a Pavlovian conditioning or Skinner box) to represent a theory, procedure, or apparatus.
Objective:
You are going to learn a little bit about the history of psychology and the APA style of citations, by conducting research and writing a 2 to 3 page paper – typed, double spaced and 12 point Times New Roman font - on one of the individuals from the list below:
1. B.F. Skinner
2. Jean Piaget
3. Sigmund Freud
4. Albert Bandura
5. Leon Festinger
6. Carl Rogers
7. Stanley Schachter
8. Neal Miller
9. Edward Thorndike
10. Abraham Maslow
11. Gordon Allport
12. Erik Erikson
13. Hans J. Eysenck
14. William James
15. David McClelland
16. Raymond Cattell
17. John B. Watson
18. Kurt Lewin
19. Donald O. Hebb
20. George A. Miller
21. Clark L. Hull
22. Jerome Kagan
23. Carl Jung
24. Ivan Pavlov
25. Walter Mishcel
Though not in the top 25, you can pick Alfred Adler, Karen Horney, Lawrence Kohlberg, Wolfgang Kohler, or Margaret Washburn.
