Bernard Weiner (born 1935) is an American social psychologist known for developing a form of attribution theory which explains the emotional and motivational entailments of academic success and failure.
 Bernard Weiner got interested in the field of attribution after the first studying achievement motivation.
 He used TAT to identify differences in people’s achievement needs and then turned to the study of individual issues people face when they think of their own successes and failures.
 One of his students, Linda Beckman, came up with this topic, and from then on, Bernard Weiner carried on further investigation which led him to a road of the cognitive processes that have motivational influence.
 Being a three-stage process, attribution theory explains the causes of an event or behavior.
 The three stages include observations and determination of behavior, and attributing to causes.
 There are two types of attributions; external and internal.
 External attribution relates causality to outside agents, whereas, internal attribution assigns the person himself for any behavior.
 In one of his interviews in 1996, Bernard Weiner was asked the following: "How does attribution contribute to high ability, high achievement, and giftedness?"
 His answer is the proceeding paragraph.
Stanley Schachter (April 15, 1922 – June 7, 1997) was an American social psychologist, who is perhaps best known for his development of the two factor theory of emotion in 1962 along with Jerome E. Singer.
 In his theory he states that emotions have two ingredients: physiological arousal and a cognitive label.
 A person's experience of an emotion stems from the mental awareness of the body's physical arousal.
 Schachter also studied and published a large number of works on the subjects of obesity, group dynamics, birth order and smoking.
 A "Review of General Psychology" survey, published in 2002, ranked Schachter as the seventh most cited psychologist of the 20th century.
The stereotype content model (SCM) is a psychological theory that hypothesizes that stereotypes possess two dimensions: warmth and competence.
 Social groups are perceived as warm if they do not compete with the ingroup for the same resources (e.g., college space) and they are considered competent if they are high in status (e.g., economically or educationally successful).
 Thus, lack of competition predicts perceived warmth and status predicts perceived competence.
 The model was first proposed by social psychologist Susan Fiske and her colleagues Amy Cuddy, Peter Glick and Jun Xu.
Uri Simonsohn is a social psychologist and an associate professor in the Operations, Information & Decisions Department (OIDD) at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
 He worked on a project on false positives, and found that the data that social psychologist Dirk Smeesters collected in his papers did not seem to be real.
 He later posted a paper in Social Science Research Network that described the statistical method he used to expose suspiciously looking data in the work of Dirk Smeesters and Lawrence Sanna.
 His investigation ultimately led Erasmus University Rotterdam to lead its own investigation, which led to Smeester's resignation.
 Lawrence Sanna, similarly, resigned in May 2012.
 His work on detecting fraudulent work on psychology and economics was featured in a podcast with Julia Galef.
Harold Kelley (February 16, 1921 – January 29, 2003) was an American social psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
 His major contributions have been the development of interdependence theory (with John Thibaut), the early work of attribution theory, and a lifelong interest in understanding close relationships processes.
 A "Review of General Psychology" survey, published in 2002, ranked Kelley as the 43rd most cited psychologist of the 20th century.
Carolyn Wood Sherif (1922–1982) was an American social psychologist who helped to develop social judgment theory and contributed pioneering research in the areas of the self-system, group conflict, cooperation, and gender identity.
 She also assumed a leading role in psychology both nationally as well as internationally.
 In addition to performing seminal social psychology research, Wood Sherif devoted herself to teaching her students and was recognized for her efforts with an American Psychological Association award named in her honor that is presented annually.
Superfluidity and superconductivity are macroscopic manifestations of quantum mechanics.
 There is considerable interest, both theoretical and practical, in these quantum phase transitions.
 There has been a tremendous amount of work done in the field of phase transitions and critical phenomenon in two dimensions.
 Much of the interest in this field is because as the number of dimensions increases, the number of exactly solvable models diminishes drastically.
 In three or more dimensions one must resort to a mean field theory approach.
 The theory of superfluid transitions in two dimensions is known as the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) theory.
 The 2D XY model - where the order parameter is characterized by an amplitude and a phase - is the universality class for this transition.
Leon Festinger (8 May 1919 – 11 February 1989) was an American social psychologist, perhaps best known for cognitive dissonance and social comparison theory.
 His theories and research are credited with renouncing the previously dominant behaviorist view of social psychology by demonstrating the inadequacy of stimulus-response conditioning accounts of human behavior.
 Festinger is also credited with advancing the use of laboratory experimentation in social psychology, although he simultaneously stressed the importance of studying real-life situations, a principle he perhaps most famously practiced when personally infiltrating a doomsday cult.
 He is also known in social network theory for the proximity effect (or propinquity).
Theodore Mead Newcomb (July 24, 1903 – December 28, 1984) was an American social psychologist, professor and author.
 Newcomb led the Bennington College Study, which looked at the influence of the college experience on social and political beliefs.
 He was also the first to document the effects of proximity on acquaintance and attraction.
 Newcomb founded and directed the doctoral program in social psychology at the University of Michigan.
 A "Review of General Psychology" survey, published in 2002, ranked Newcomb as the 57th most cited psychologist of the 20th century.
Amy Joy Casselberry Cuddy (born 1972) is an American social psychologist, author and lecturer known for her research on stereotyping and discrimination, emotions, power, nonverbal behavior, and the effects of social stimuli on hormone levels.
