| Abstract: | Presents an obituary for John Paulus Sabini. Sabini spent his career, starting in 1976, in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Sabini was fascinated with Milgram's research on obedience. Milgram's imprint is obvious in Sabini's interest in social influence, the psychology of everyday life, and in his style. Sabini's studies of moral reproach, gossip, procrastination, embarrassment, envy, shame, self-deception, and sincerity are simultaneously analyses of causal determinants and of speech acts.
