Favorite psychologists/scientists:
“The Psi Chi Board of Directors at their winter meeting, 2017 endorsed my nominations of two of my academic heroes, Alice Eagly and Robert Rothenthal. These two people embody the principles of higher education in their tireless pursuit of truth in research and their enduring humility of their accomplishments.
