Abstract: | The Awards for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest recognize persons who have advanced psychology as a science and/or profession by a single extraordinary achievement or a lifetime of outstanding contributions in the public interest. Two awards are given: one to a psychologist who has made a significant contribution to the public interest in the early stages of his or her career, and the second to a senior psychologist. The 2009 recipients are Keith N. Humphreys (Early Career Award) and Beverly Greene. For each recipient, a citation, biography, and selected bibliography are presented. In addition, a version of the award address that the recipient presented at the American Psychological Association's annual convention is also provided.
