Talk:Michael Argyle (psychologist)

This Person is Famous?????
I am PhD student in Social Psychology and have never heard of this person. Another biography on Dr. Gregory Herek is definitely well-known was criticized for reaching a certain level of notoriety. I find it odd that this page hasn't raised any red flags especially since no Social Psychologists I know of and not textbooks cite the work of Argyle. In fact, I don't even see any journal articles, or empirical research cited in his bibliography. Only a series of books. He may have been famous in the 50s/60s, but for sure it has not stood the test of time and is not influencing contemporary work in Social Psychology. Either Argyle shouldn't be listed among the list of social psychologists or this page be deleted entirely as it covers the life of a what is now a relatively obscure figure in the history of Social Psychology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.30.68.198 (talk) 07:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * One thing he is (possibly?) still remembered for is his saying: "that as well as being married, having a religion, and various other things, taking part in Scottish Country Dancing made people more likely to be happy" CatNip48 (talk) 23:11, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
