Mark Snyder Added to SPSP Heritage Wall
We are thrilled to announce that Mark Snyder is the latest prominent psychologist to be added to The Society For Personality and Social Psychology’s (SPSP) Heritage Wall. The Heritage Fund Initiative honors the legacy of our field's most important scholars, by providing a connection between generations of scholars in personality and social psychology. Those who are inducted are commemorated for their contribution to research, teaching, mentorship, and/or service and the lasting impact they have had on the field of psychology.
Snyder has been chosen for his decades-worth of contributions to personality and social psychology, examining what drives both individual and collective behavior. His research explores the psychology of self-concept and identity, the dynamics of how people interact socially, and the mechanisms behind pro-social action.
