Muzafer Sherif (born Muzaffer Şerif Başoğlu; July 29, 1906 – October 16, 1988) was a Turkish-American social psychologist. He helped develop social judgment theory and realistic conflict theory. Sherif was a founder of modern social psychology, who developed several unique and powerful techniques for understanding social processes, particularly social norms and social conflict. Many of his original contributions to social psychology have been absorbed into the field so fully that his role in the development and discovery has disappeared. Other reformulations of social psychology have taken his contributions for granted, and re-presented his ideas as new. ==Personal life== Muzafer Sherif grew up in a fairly wealthy family that included five children, of whom he was the second born.〔Muzafer Sherif (1906–1988) American Psychologist (October 1989), 44 (10), pg. 1325-1326, O.J. Harvey〕 Sherif received a B.A. at the Izmir American College in Turkey in 1926,〔O.J. Harvey, ("Muzafer Sherif Obituary" ), "Scholars Portal Journals", 9 April 2012〕 and an M.A. at the University of Istanbul in 1928.〔O.J. Harvey, ("Muzafer Sherif Obituary" ), "Scholars Portal Journals", 9 April 2012〕 Sherif then went to America, earning an M.A. from Harvard University. He enrolled at Columbia University, and in 1935 earned a Ph.D. with Gardner Murphy. In 1945 he married Carolyn Wood, and they collaborated productively on subsequent projects for many years, on scholarly books (e.g., Sherif & Sherif, 1953) and a still-useful textbook (Sherif & Sherif, 1969). Although mostly recognized as a psychologist, Muzafer was the first to obtain the Cooley-Mead Award for Contributions to Social Psychology from the American Sociological Association.〔Harvey O.J., (1989). "Muzafer Sherif (1906-1988)". ''American Psychologist''. 44(10): 1325-1326〕 He was father of three daughters, Ann, Sue and Joan. According to his daughter, Sue, whom Sherif was living with at that time, Sherif was in good spirits when he was stricken with a fatal heart attack. He had died on October 16, 1988, at Fairbanks Alaska at the age of 82.〔Harvey, O. (1989).
