Mark P. Zanna is a retired University Professor and former Chair of
Psychology at the University of Waterloo. He received his BA (‘66)
and PhD (‘70) from Yale University.
Professor Zanna’s area of research is the psychology of attitudes.
Primarily funded over the years by grants from the Social Sciences
and Humanities Research Council of Canada, he has studied attitude
structure and function, attitude formation and change,
communication and persuasion (including the persistence of
persuasion), and the attitude-behaviour relation. He has also
conducted research on (a) overcoming resistance to persuasion,
including research on subliminal priming and persuasion,
self-affirmation and persuasion, and narrative persuasion, and (b)
implicit attitudes (i.e., relatively automatic, intuitive
evaluations), including research on aversive racists (i.e., those
individuals who test low on thoughtful, conscious measures of
prejudice, but high on more automatic, intuitive measures of
prejudice) and defensive self-esteem (i.e., those individuals who
test high on thoughtful, conscious measures of self-esteem, but low
on more automatic, intuitive measures of self-esteem). In the
domain of health promotion, he has evaluated a ‘safer sex’
intervention and tested the subtle effects (e.g., on implicit
norms) of movie stars’ smoking in feature films. Currently, he is
investigating the causes and consequences of negative implicit
norms toward females in STEM disciplines. A winner of several
career awards for distinguished scientific contribution (D. O. Hebb
Award, Canadian Psychological Association, 1993; D. T. Campbell
Award, Society of Personality and Social Psychology, 1997; Fellow,
Royal Society of Canada, 1999; Inaugural Excellence in Research
Award, UW, 2000; Inaugural Distinguished University Professor, UW,
2004; Inaugural Excellence in Graduate Supervision, UW, 2005;
Distinguished Scientist Award, Society of Experimental Social
Psychology, 2007; K. Lewin Award, Society for the Psychological
Study of Social Issues, 2010; Killam Prize Laureate, Canada Council
for the Arts, 2011), Professor Zanna has been a consulting editor
of the top four journals in social/personality psychology (Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Experimental
Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and
Journal of Personality) plus 7 other journals. Currently, he
co-edits the Ontario Symposium on Personality and Social Psychology
(since 1981) and the Advances in Experimental Social Psychology
(since 1991), the two major edited book series in social
psychology. He has also been elected to the presidencies of the two
major learned societies in social psychology, the Society of
Experimental Social Psychology (1985) and the Society of
Personality and Social Psychology (1997). 32 (of 34) of Professor
Zanna’s doctoral or postdoctoral students have taken academic
positions. Six students chaired their respective departments (plus
one was the President of a small US college) and 12 others became
editors (or consulting editors) of major journals in the field.
According to the Web of Science, Professor Zanna’s lifetime
citations now (February, 2014) exceed 9,500 (h = 50; H = 55).
According to Google Scholar, lifetime citations now (February,
2014) exceed 21,200 (h = 74). Finally, Professor Zanna has ranked
12th and 20th worldwide in citations in social psychology textbooks
and social psychology handbooks, respectively.
Praise for the Series
"For the past two decades, the... series has served a special
function for social psychology--one that has not been filled as
well by any other single publication. The chapters discuss
individual substantive areas within the field at a middle level of
abstraction and detail. The articles are more focused than handbook
chapters and less cursory than annual review chapters. In addition,
they often summarize the author's own research program and review
past research through the filter of the author's theoretical
perspective."
--CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY
"These volumes have become a standard reference over the past
couple of decades... Presents a well-balanced picture of work in
experimental social psychology."
