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.
