Abstract
This article uses citation analysis to identify important scholars and influential recent contributions in personality and social psychology. The number of pages on which scholars were cited in seven current social psychology texts was used as a measure of individual eminence. A list was compiled of all the articles (N=841) and chapters (N=38) published between 1977 and 1981 in JPSP and Berkowitz's Advances in Experimental Social Pyschology. The impact of these items was assessed by counting (via the Social Science Citation Index) the number of times each item was cited in 1982. The 50 most eminent scholars are listed and compared with those who were most eminent approximately six years earlier. The 31 most frequently cited articles and chapters are also presented. This list suggests that the field's attention is focused on cognitive processes, androgyny, self-monitoring and learned helplessness.Keywords
