作者簡介

Robert Rosenthal is Distinguished　Professor at the University of
California　at Riverside and Edgar Pierce Professor　of Psychology,
Emeritus, Harvard University.　His research has centered for some　50
years on the role of the self-fulfi lling　prophecy in everyday life
and in laboratory　situations. Special interests include the　effects
of teachers’ expectations on students’performance, the effects of
experimenters’expectations on the results of　their research, and
the effects of clinicians’expectations on their patients’mental and
physical health. He also has　strong interests in sources of
artifact in　behavioral research and in various quantitative
procedures. In the realm of data analysis,　his special interests
are in experimental design and analysis, contrast analysis,　and
meta-analysis. His most recent books and articles are about these
areas of data　analysis and about the nature of nonverbal
communication in teacher-student, doctorpatient,　manager-employee,
judge-jury, and psychotherapist-client interaction. He has　been
Co-Chair of the Task Force on Statistical Inference of the American
Psychological　Association and has served as Chair of the Research
Committee of the Bayer　Institute for Health Care Communication. He
was a co-recipient of two behavioral　science awards of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (1960,1993) and
recipient of the James McKeen Cattell Award of the American
Psychological　Society, the Distinguished Scientist Award of the
Society of Experimental　Social Psychology, the Samuel J. Messick
Distinguished Scientifi c Contributions　Award of the APA’s Division
5—Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics, and the　APA’s
Distinguished Scientifi c Award for Applications of Psychology.
Ralph L. Rosnow is Thaddeus Bolton Professor Emeritus at Temple
University, where
he taught for 34 years and directed the graduate program in social
and organizational
psychology. He has also taught research methods at Boston
University and Harvard
University and does consulting on research and data analysis. The
overarching theme
of his scholarly work concerns how people make sense of, and impose
meaning on,
their experiential world, called the “will to meaning” by Viktor
Frankl. Rosnow has
explored aspects of this construct in research and theory within
the framework of
contextualism, the psychology of rumor and gossip, attitude and
social cognition, the
structure of interpersonal acumen, artifacts and ethical dilemmas
in human research,
and the statistical justifi cation of scientifi c conclusions. He
has authored and coauthored
many articles and books on these topics and, with Mimi Rosnow,
coauthored Writing
Papers in Psychology, a popular writing manual now in its seventh
edition (published
by Thomson Wadsworth, 2006). He has served on the editorial boards
of journals and
encyclopedias, was coeditor (with R. E. Lana) of the Reconstruction
of Society Series
published by Oxford University Press, and chaired the APA’s
Committee on Standards
in Research. He is a fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of
Science, the APA, and the Association for Psychological Science,
received the Society
of General Psychology’s George A. Miller Award, and was recently
honored with a
Festschrift book edited by D. A. Hantula, Advances in Social and
Organizational Psychology
Rosenthal and Rosnow have also collaborated on other books on
research methods
and data analysis, including Artifact in Behavioral Research
(Academic Press, 1969);
The Volunteer Subject (Wiley, 1975); Primer of Methods for the
Behavioral Sciences
(Wiley, 1975); Understanding Behavioral Science: Research Methods
for Research
Consumers (McGraw-Hill, 1984); Contrast Analysis: Focused
Comparisons in the
Analysis of Variance (Cambridge University Press, 1985); People
Studying People:
Artifacts and Ethics in Behavioral Research (W. H. Freeman, 1997);
(with D. B. Rubin)
Contrasts and Effect Sizes in Behavioral Research: A Correlational
Approach
(Cambridge University Press, 2000); and Beginning Behavioral
Research: A Conceptual
Primer (6 th ed., Pearson/PrenticeHall, 2008).
