__________ Donald Thomas Campbell (1916-1996) __________
Trained as a social psychologist (he studied with Edward Tolman and Egon Brunswik at the University of California, Berkeley), Campbell did his major work at Northwestern University. He was a "nimble-minded social scientist who left his mark on half a dozen disciplines and helped revolutionize the fundamental principles of scientific inquiry common to them all" (New York Times). A master methodologist, Campbell devised the method of quasi-experimentation, a statistics-based approach that allows to replicate the effects of truly randomized studies that often are impossible in the world of human interactions. He was the main American representative of evolutionary epistemology.
