Abstract
Summary Four studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that individuals with singular first names demonstrate greater achievement than individuals with more common names. The first study found a higher proportion of male psychologists with singular names among Fellows in Division 10 of the APA than among Members and Associates. This finding was not replicated among Division 8 members in the second study. The third study found that male writers with singular first names were more likely to be cited in social psychology texts than would be expected from Division 8 representation. Results of the fourth study indicated that male journal reviewers with singular names were consulted on more manuscripts than their counterparts with more common names.
