Lasswell Award
The Lasswell Award is given for “distinguished scientific contribution in the field of political psychology.” It is named for Harold Lasswell, one of the first to apply psychology to the analysis of politics. He was, thereby, also one of the first to encounter the problems of interdisciplinary work: because of resistance to his ideas, from 1937 to 1950 not a single article of his was published in a political science journal. However, he continued to publish (in psychological and psychiatric journals, and books), and so ultimately he won recognition, being elected President of APSA in 1955. He taught at Chicago, Yale, CUNY, Temple, and finally Columbia.
“政治心理学作出杰出贡献”者会被授予拉斯韦尔奖。该奖项以哈罗德·拉斯韦尔奖命名,拉斯韦尔第一个将心理学应用于政治分析。
The award recipient will be strongly encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting and Award Banquet and may be asked to give a talk at the 2012 annual meeting in recognition of their work in the field.
