Trivia Winner for September!




Mary Chris Centina, a third year Psychology student, submitted the correct answer last October 14, 2010 at 8:55 AM. Her answer was Kurt Lewin, which is the correct answer for the question.

Kurt Lewin (1890-1946) is considered to be the father of social psychology and in Cartwright's words, "when the intellectual history of the twentieth century is written, Kurt Lewin will surely be counted as one of those few men whose work changed fundamentally the course of social science" (1951: 159). Lewin's contribution to social psychology in general and to the theory and practice of planned change has been well documented and described (Patnoe, 1988; Burke, 2002). Lewin's influence is everywhere in contemporary management: running meetings, work design, training, team development, systems change, leadership styles, participative methods, survey feedback methods, consultation skills, change theory and action research. In the words of Kleiner, "Nearly every sincere effort to improve organisations from within can be traced back to him, often through a thicket of tangled, hidden influences" (1996: 30).
