A distinctive approach to psychological research: The influence of Stanley Schachter

(from the preface) This volume reflects the influence of Stanley Schachter beyond his research. In particular, this volume presents the influence of Schachter on his students, even when their work may, on the surface, appear to bear little resemblance to Schachter's interests. The contributors to this volume were invited by the editors based on our attempt to provide the reader with some sense of Schachter's influence over the last thirty years. We purposely invited authors who worked for Stan during his study of each of his major research areas. The contributors were asked to write chapters that reflected the influence of Schachter on them. The standing instruction was to indicate Stan's influence without discussing aspects of his work available in his own publications. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
