Stanley Schachter

Stanley Schachter

Stanley Schachter was an American psychologist who was born on April 15, 1922, to Nathan and Anna Schachter in Flushing, New York.He died on June 7, 1997 at his home in East Hampton, New York.

He initially studied Art history at Yale University and then took his Masters in Psychology, when he was influenced by Clark Hull.

Stanley Schachter had a broad curiosity about social behavior. During his career he studied the misattribution of arousal, the causes of overeating and obesity, the physiological basis for nicotine addiction, and the origins of miserliness. In each domain Schachter provided the field with creative, thought-provoking experiments.

In 1946 Schachter went to MIT to work with the German social psychologist Kurt Lewin, in his Research Center for Group Dynamics, studying social issues. Lewin died in 1947, and the research center moved to the University of Michigan, where it became a part of the Institute for Social Research. This was where Schachter gained his Ph.D. in 1949.Schachter's dissertation supervisor was Leon Festinger. With Henry Riecken, they wrote the book "When Prophecy Fails" (1956), describing what happened to millennial groups after their predicted date for the end of the world had passed.

Schachter's papers are archived at the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan.

Schachter's two-Factor TheorySchachter proposed the Two factor theory of emotion. He said 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.
