Distinguished Scientific Awards for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology 1986: Philip E. Tetlock.

The Early Career Awards recognize the large number of excellent young psychologists. Three areas are considered each year, with areas rotated in three-year cycles. The areas considered for awards in 1986 were social, sensation and perception, and applied research. Philip E. Tetlock is one of the 1986 recipients of the award "for the building of interdisciplinary bridges between social psychology and other social sciences; for a creative use of alternative research methods; for penetrating analyses of basic theoretical issues in social psychology, such as the tension between cognitive and motivational explanations or between impression management and intrapsychic explanations; for insightful work on the policy relevance of social psychological research; and in particular, for the place of political reasoning and rhetoric in actual policymaking settings. His reviews, integrations, and penetrating analyses of the theoretical issues in social psychology combine an originality, a clarity, and a thoughtfulness in the service of the profession."

R. Duncan Luce: Distinguished Scientific Contribution Awards.

Presents the citation of the 1970 American Psychological Association's Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award winner, Robert Duncan Luce. The award citations reads: "For his leadership in the development of theories that range from social behavior, to learning and memory, to perception and psychophysics. By his judicious use of mathematical methods he has contributed significantly to the development of psychology as a quantitative science. The hallmark of his research has been to take an extremely simple set of axioms and explore in detail their implications for a wide range of phenomena. For example, in his theory of choice, a general axiom concerning selections from related sets of alternatives is shown to have important applications in such diverse fields as psychophysics, learning, and social utility. Mathematical theory dominates his work, but it is by no means anti-empirical; it has been a stimulus for many important experimental studies. His recent contribution to the theory of measurement has broad ramifications not only for psychology but for the general methodology of all sciences." Personal biographic information is also included, along with a list of the recipient's scientific writings. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
