Abstract

This article presents a two‐part quantitative analysis of the presidents of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) during its first half century. A collective biography of the successive incumbents of SPSSI's highest office reveals centers of education and employment, and distinct demographic trends. A content analysis of available presidential addresses suggests enduring themes in the rhetoric of SPSSI leaders. The influence of significant individuals and events in fostering networks among members of the presidential cohort is explored, along with the role of SPSSI leaders in the development of social psychology. Biographical and other data are presented in tabular as well as summary form.
