Elliot Aronson is among the 100 most influential psychologists
of the 20th Century. He is best known for his theorizing and
research on cognitive dissonance theory -- one of the most
provocative and enduring theories in contemporary psychology -- and
for his design of the "jigsaw classroom," an applied method of
reducing conflict and prejudice in multiethnic schools. Throughout
his illustrious career, he has championed the application of
social-psychological theory and methods for solving such pressing
social problems as prejudice, energy efficiency, conflict and
miscommunication in relationships, and the reasons why many people
justify their mistakes rather than learn from them. Aronson is the
only psychologist in the history of the American Psychological
Association to have won all three of its top awards: for research,
teaching, and writing.
In this Festschrift, friends, colleagues, and former students
write with warmth, clarity, and humor about Aronson s enduring
influence on the field of social psychology and on their own
professional lives as researchers, writers, and teachers. Topics
covered include contemporary research on cognitive dissonance
theory; the changing face of experimentation in social psychology;
and applied research on energy policy, education, the legal system,
intergroup conflict, and prejudice and discrimination.
