Books by Elliot Aronson

Elliot Aronson is professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and one of the most cited social psychologists in history. He is the only person to have won all three of the American Psychological Association's top awards: for distinguished scientific contributions, for teaching, and for writing. His research on cognitive dissonance extended Festinger's theory to include the central role of self-concept. He has also done influential work on jigsaw classroom education as a method for reducing prejudice in schools.
