Robert Bolesław Zajonc (/ˈzaɪ.ənts/ ZY-ənts;[1][2] Polish: [ˈzajɔnt͡s]; November 23, 1923 – December 3, 2008) was a Polish-born American social psychologist who is known for his decades of work on a wide range of social and cognitive processes. One of his most important contributions to social psychology is the mere-exposure effect.[2] Zajonc also conducted research in the areas of social facilitation, and theories of emotion, such as the affective neuroscience hypothesis.[2][3]
He also made contributions to comparative psychology.[3] He argued that studying the social behavior of humans alongside the behavior of other species, is essential to our understanding of the general laws of social behavior.[3] An example of his viewpoint is his work with cockroaches that demonstrated social facilitation, evidence that this phenomenon is displayed regardless of species.[3] A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked Zajonc as the 35th most cited psychologist of the 20th century.[4]
