Congratulations to Carl I. Hovland Professor Emeritus John Dovidio, recipient of a 2026 Association for Psychological Science (APS) Mentor Award. This award is one of four APS lifetime achievement awards, together comprising the association’s highest honors. The Mentor Award recognizes “psychology researchers and educators who have shaped the future directions of science by fostering the careers of students and colleagues.”
From the APS announcement:
“Dovidio epitomizes the commitment to mentees’ success. He focuses unwaveringly on helping mentees forge their own unique paths. He encourages students to share nascent ideas, even those still in their embryonic stages, and always finds something in them that is valuable, unique, and worth pursuing.”
