Abstract
This award recognizes a distinguished career and enduring contribution to the science of psychology. Bernard Weiner is recognized for his prolific and influential contributions to psychological science through the development of an attributional approach to motivation and emotion. Weiner examined people's causal explanations of their own and others' behavior and showed these to have affective and behavioral consequences on achievement, help-giving, stigmatization, and interpersonal transgressions. The conceptual and empirical rigor of his research is widely recognized and continues to inform studies in countless domains. Weiner also was an inspiring mentor to numerous doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows from around the world, who continue to build on the rich legacy of his attributional approach.
