Floyd H. Allport: American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award: 1968.

At the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in 1968, the American Psychological Foundation (APF) announced the recipient of the APF Gold Medal Award. The presentation was made by Kenneth E. Clark, President of the APF, to Floyd H. Allport. As professor of social and political psychology in the Maxwell Graduate School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Allport directed the first doctoral program in social psychology in the US. Although Allport's experimental work first appeared in 1920, his major impact came with the 1924 appearance of his Social Psychology. His interests in the late 1920s and early 1930s were the investigation of social attitudes and the study of institutional behavior. Allport's contributions have had two major consequences: (a) he shaped the field of social psychology as an area concerned with the basic problems of social influence in which measurement of human behavior is the primary focus, and (b) he furnished the rationale and the example for the behavioral trend in the social sciences.

Each year at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association, the Foundation presents its Gold Medal Award to a senior American psychologist in recognition of a distinguished and long-continued record of scientific and scholarly accomplishment.

An experimentalist whose studies have stimulated countless others, a technologist whose reach has encircled the globe, and a systematist without modern peer, this man's contributions will not be easily forgotten.

Harry F. Harlow: American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award.

Recognizes receipt of the American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award. Harry F. Harlow is this year's recipient of the Gold Medal Award. The accompanying article notes that Dr. Harlow has built a distinguished scientific career upon the study of basic psychological phenomena that are simultaneously of great scientific interest and great social importance. It is fair to say that, while he has been concerned with learning and behavior changes accompanying maturation from infancy to adulthood, and while he has shown some interest in therapeutic communities, a larger share of his attention has been given to affective behavior--especially to the affective relations between parents and offspring and to the pathologies of these relations. The American Psychological Association Foundation presents its Gold Medal Award to a senior American psychologist in recognition of a distinguished and long-continued record of scientific and scholarly accomplishment. With the Medal goes a cash award of $1,000. Past recipients of the Gold Medal Award are Robert Sessions Woodworth, Edwin R. Guthrie, Edwin G. Boring, John F. Dashiell, Walter R. Miles, Gordon W. Allport, Heinrich Kliiver, Karl M. Dallenbach, Floyd H. Allport, Henry A. Murray, Sidney L. Pressey, B. F. Skinner, and Gardner Murphy.
