| Abstract: | The Distinguished Scientific Contribution Awards are presented each year by the American Psychological Association at the Annual Convention. The award winners for 1976 are Beatrice C. Lacey, John I. Lacey, Theodore M. Newcomb, and Roger N. Shepard. The personal biographies and the professional writings of the award winners are presented, along with a listing of award recipients from preceding years. Each award winner is recognized with a check for $1,000 and an engrossed citation of his or her formal contributions to the development of scientific psychology. These psychologists have agreed, in accordance with established custom, to present addresses on some phase of their scientific work at the 1977 Convention. The presentation of awards was made by Richard F. Thompson, Chair of the Committee on Scientific Awards. Other members of the Committee are Dorothea Hurvich, Walter Mischel, Lorrin A. Riggs, Janet T. Spence, and Elaine Walster. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
