Marcia Guttentag (November 9, 1932 – November 4, 1977) was clinical social psychologist whose work focused on psychological issues related to children, poverty, women's rights,[1] and mental health. As one of the founders of the Evaluation Research Society,[2] Guttentag is known for being a pioneer in promoting evaluation research as a distinct field of social science.[3] She was an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[4]
In 1971, Guttentag became the second woman to be elected as president of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI).[5] During her presidency she edited two issues of the Journal of Social Issues.[4] Guttentag was one of the founders of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (American Psychological Association, Division 8)[6] and served a term as its president.[7] She contributed her efforts to other professional organizations including UNESCO,[8] the New York State Psychological Association, the New York Academy of Sciences, the American Sociological Association, and the Society for Experimental Social Psychology.[4]
The American Evaluation Association named its Promising New Evaluator Award in honor of Guttentag.[9] Adelphi University elected Guttentag to its University Academy of Distinction as a distinguished alumna in 1975.[4]
