Center for Cross-Cultural Research, Department of Psychology, Western Washington
University
Biography Elliot Aronson is widely regarded as one of the
country’s premier and most influential social psychologists of this era.
He is Professor Emeritus of Social Psychology at the University of California at Santa Cruz,
and Visiting Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Stanford University.
In 2002, the American Psychological Association named
him one of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. He is the
only person in the 109-year history of the association to have been awarded all
three of its highest academic honors for distinguished teaching, writing and research
contributions.
He is the author of numerous publications, including the award-winning book
The Social Animal. His recent book, Nobody Left to Hate: Teaching
Compassion After Columbine, provides an analysis of the 1999 Columbine High School
massacre with concrete suggestions about how to prevent similar tragedies.
Aronson also advises teachers about how
to structure classes to promote cooperation rather than competition, without
sacrificing academics, in his book, The Jigsaw
Classroom, and many other publications. Based on decades of scientific research and classroom testing,
these strategies explain how students can learn to control their own impulses,
respect others and resolve conflicts amicably. Other publication topics include social psychology, the psychological aspects of work and burnout,
uses of persuasion and public opinion in media, and energy conservation. He has long-standing research interests in
social influence and attitude change,
cognitive dissonance, research methodology, and interpersonal attraction.
Professor Aronson's experiments are aimed both at testing theory and at
improving the human condition by influencing people to change dysfunctional
attitudes and behaviors.
Dr. Aronson has taught at the University of California at Santa
Cruz since 1974, and is currently Visiting Distinguished Professor Emeritus at
Stanford University. He has a master's degree in psychology from Wesleyan University and earned
his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1959.
