Awards for distinguished contributions to psychology in the public interest: 1985.

The Awards for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest recognize persons who, in the opinion of the Committee on Public Interest Awards, have advanced psychology as a science and/or profession by a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of outstanding contributions in the public interest. These contributions might include the identification or solution of significant social problems, unusual initiative or dedication to activity in the public interest, or the integration of the science and/or profession of psychology with social action in a manner beneficial to all. The Committee is authorized to present two awards each year, each with a prize of $2,000. Beginning in 1983, recipients of the second award may not have held a PhD for more than 15 years. This award was established to recognize the large number of excellent psychologists who have made significant contributions to the public interest during the early stages of their careers. Members of the 1985 Committee included the three most recent past chairs of the Board of Social and Ethical Responsibility for Psychology—Sheldon J. Korchin, Stephen F. Morin, and M. Brewster Smith—and the three immediate past-presidents of the Association— William Bevan, Max Siegel, and Janet T. Spence. The chair of the Committee was Sheldon J. Korchin. The presentation of the 1985 awards was made by M. Brewster Smith. The recipients of the award since its establishment are presented here.
