The Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest confers the Award for Distinguished Contribution to Research in Public Policy upon a psychologist who has made a distinguished empirical and/or theoretical contribution to research in public policy, either through a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of work. This contribution might include research leading others to view specific national policies differently, research demonstrating the importance of the application of psychological methods and theory to public policy, or research clarifying the ways scientific knowledge of human behavior informs public policy. The citation, biography, and selected bibliography of the 1993 recipient of this award, Diana T. Slaughter-Defoe, are presented here. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
