2025 Howard Crosby Warren Medal
Dr. Elke U. Weber, Princeton University
Citation: “For her careful and creative empirical research that has led to insightful and impactful theories of how people make decisions, and the thoughtful implementation of these theories in sophisticated mathematical and computational models..”
Dr Weber has advanced our understanding of complex human decision making in individuals and in groups. Through her multi-disciplinary lens, drawing variously from psychology, economics, sociology, political science, philosophy, ecology, and evolutionary biology, she has addressed a wide range of important societal problems, including climate change, environmental sustainability, energy policy, and financial and economic decisions.
For her many contributions to the study of human decision making and cognition and its societal impacts, the Society of Experimental Psychologists awards the 2024 Howard Crosby Warren Medal to Elke U. Weber.
2025 Norman Anderson Lifetime Achievement Award
Dr. Robert Levenson, UC Berkeley
Citation: "For his transformative approach to the scientific study of human emotion and the ensuing conceptualization of human nature. The introduction of innovative methods, paradigm-shifting measurement techniques, and a clear commitment to studying ethologically rich behavior has fostered a deep understanding of this domain of study."
Dr. Robert Levenson has contributed significantly to our understanding of emotion, its neural and physiological bases, regulation, and instantiation in healthy and unhealthy relationships.
For his groundbreaking contributions to the study of human emotion in the context of healthy and unhealthy relationships, their biological bases, and across cultures, the Society of Experimental Psychologists awards the 2025 Norman Anderson Lifetime Achievement Award to Robert Levenson.
