| Abstract: | The Award for Distinguished Contributions to Research in Public Policy presented to Charles A. Kiesler is conferred 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 may consist of such factors as research leading others to view specific national policies differently, research demonstrating the importance of the application of psychological methods and theory to public policy, and research clarifying the ways scientific knowledge of human behavior informs public policy. Members of the 1989 Committee were George Albee (Chair), Julia Ramos- Grenier, Vera Paster, Bonnie Strickland, Logan Wright, and Raymond D. Fowler.
