==Life and career==
Larsen was born in Tyler, Minnesota. He received his undergraduate education from Grand View College in Des Moines, Iowa, and the University of Oregon, University of Montana, and Denver University. He earned a Ph.D. from the University of Washington, joining the faculty in 1951.〔The human factor in innovation and productivity: hearings (including the record of a seminar sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science on July 28, 1981) before the Subcommittee on Science, Research, and Technology of the Committee on Science and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives, Ninety-seventh Congress, first session, September 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 1981〕
Larsen did extensive research into incidents of mass hysteria, like the 1954 Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic.〔Aneshensel CS, Phelan JC (2006). ''Handbook of the sociology of mental health.'' Springer, ISBN 978-0-387-32516-3〕 This led to his appointment by Lyndon B. Johnson as Chair of the President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography. On May 13, 1970, Larsen became one of the first people who have been pied as a form of political protest. Thomas Forcade hit Larsen with a cottage cheese pie during the commission's public hearings.〔Staff report (May 13, 1970). Witness Presents Pornography Commissioner With a Pie (in the Face). ''New York Times''〕 The Commission ultimately recommended sex education and found that obscenity and pornography were not important social problems, that there was no evidence that exposure to such material was harmful to individuals, and that current legal and policy initiatives were more likely to create problems than solve them.〔Lee Rainwater, ''Social problems and public policy: deviance and liberty'', Aldine Transaction, 1974, p.143 ISBN 0-202-30263-6〕 Johnson's successor Richard Nixon and the Senate rejected the Commission findings.〔(Statement About the Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography ), October 24, 1970〕
Upon becoming editor of the ''Alpha Kappa Deltan'' sociology journal, Larsen renamed it ''Sociological Inquiry''.〔William R. Catton Jr. Otto Larsen's Grand View of Social Science Sociological Inquiry Volume 62, Issue 1, pages 1–10, January 1992〕
