| Abstract: | Presents the citation of the 1970 American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award winner, Donald Thomas Campbell. The citation reads: "For his wide range of contributions in psychological epistemology, social psychology, and research methods. By the diversity of his talents and his courageous energy, he has resolved many of the polarities that exert antagonistic pulls on most of us and, by making excellent contributions at both poles, provides an inspiring example that choosing one does not require sacrificing the other. At once a philosopher and a methodologist, a theoretician and an experimenter, a field and a laboratory worker, a basic and an applied researcher, his work relevant to both science and society, he is at the same time, a psychologist's psychologist and an enricher of fields beyond our own." 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) |
