Leon Festinger
Leon Festinger (New York, 8 maggio 1919 – New York, 11 febbraio 1989) è stato uno psicologo e sociologo statunitense. Egli è forse meglio noto per la Dissonanza cognitiva e la Teoria Del Confronto Sociale. Alle sue teorie e ricerche è stato riconosciuto il merito di aver superato il punto di vista comportamentista che in precedenza dominava la psicologia sociale, dimostrando l'inadeguatezza dello schema "stimolo-risposta" per comprendere e determinare il comportamento umano. Festinger è anche conosciuto per aver favorito l'uso del laboratorio per gli esperimenti in psicologia sociale, nonostante allo stesso tempo egli abbia evidenziato l'importanza dello studio di situazioni di vita reale, tecnica che ha messo in pratica quando si è infiltrato nella setta di un culto apocalittico per studiare gli effetti di quando una profezia fallisce.
