Awards for Distinguished Scientific Contributions.

The Awards for Distinguished Scientific Contributions are presented to persons who, in the opinion of the Committee on Scientific Awards, have made distinguished theoretical or empirical contributions to basic research in psychology. The 2017 recipients of the APA Scientific Contribution Awards were recognized by the 2016 Board of Scientific Affairs and selected by the 2016 Committee on Scientific Awards. Members of the committee were James Grau, PhD (Chair); Megan R. Gunnar, PhD; Daniel N. Klein, PhD; Hazel R. Markus, PhD; Karen A. Matthews, PhD; and Linda Smith, PhD. (PsycINFO Database Record
