Ralph L. Rosnow
Radnor, Pennsylvania
U.S.A.
Ralph L. Rosnow is Thaddeus Bolton Professor Emeritus at Temple University, where from 1967-2001 he taught research methods and social psychology. He also taught these subjects at Boston University as an assistant professor from 1963-67 and at Harvard University as a visiting professor in 1974 and 1988-89.
He has explored the imposition of meaning from the perspective of the social psychology of the experiment, psychological contextualism, rumor and gossip, attitude formation, social cognition, and interpersonal acumen. Currently, he is interested in focused data analysis and effect size estimation. For over 43 years, he and Robert Rosenthal have collaborated on many books and articles on research methods and data analysis and (for longer than Ralph is permitted to say) has collaborated with Mimi Rosnow on a popular writing manual for psychology students.
