Joseph E. McGrath

Joseph E. McGrath (July 17, 1927 – April 1, 2007) was a social psychologist well known for his work on small groups, time, stress, and research methods and for his excellence in mentoring graduate students.

Biography

Joseph E. McGrath was born in DuBois, Pennsylvania on July 17, 1927, the last child of six. He served the U.S. Army from 1945 to 1946. He received a B.S. and an M.A. in Psychology at the University of Maryland in 1950 and 1951, respectively. He married Marion Freitag in 1952. They had four children: Robert (b. 1952), William (b. 1953), James (b. 1958), and [http://www.case.edu/artsci/anth/mcgrath.html Janet] (b. 1959). In 1955 McGrath completed a Ph.D. in Social Psychology at the University of Michigan with thesis adviser Theodore M. Newcomb. Upon graduation, McGrath became Research Scientist & Project Director of Psychological Research Associates in Arlington Virginia for two years, and then Vice President of Human Sciences Research, Inc. in McLean Virginia for three years. Wishing to return to basic research and academia, in 1960 McGrath accepted a visiting position in the [http://www.psych.uiuc.edu/home/index.php Department of Psychology] at the University of Illinois as Research Assistant Professor and Associate Director of the Group Effectiveness Laboratory. In 1962 he received a tenure track appointment there as Assistant Professor. He was tenured as an Associate Professor in 1964 and promoted to Full Professor in 1966. McGrath served as Head of the Psychology Department for five years, from 1971 to 1976. He became a Professor Emeritus in 1997 and remained active in his research and collaborations until his death in 2007.

Teaching

McGrath taught several courses popular among Ph.D. students at the University of Illinois. These included the introductory course, "Research Methods in Social Psychology", taken by generations of graduate students; an introductory course to "Research Topics in Social Psychology"; a recurring seminar on "Small Groups"; a "Professional Problems" seminar in which students learned to write grant proposals, develop career strategies, review papers for journals, respond to reviews, and collaborate; a "Post Positivism" seminar exploring the underlying assumptions of "normal" science and alternative assumptions, values, and methods; and a seminar dedicated to "Feminist Scholarship in Social Psychology".

McGrath was particularly successful as a mentor and adviser to graduate students. McGrath mentored dozens of students and young scholars throughout his career, including [http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~hackman/ Richard Hackman] , [http://www.marketing.pamplin.vt.edu/facultyPages/davidBrinberg.htm David Brinberg] , [http://www2.psych.purdue.edu/Social/faculty/kelly.htm Janice Kelly] , [http://www.personal.psu.edu/dah35/ David Harrison] , [http://annenberg.usc.edu/Faculty/Communication/HollingsheadA.aspx Andrea Hollingshead] , [https://gsbapps.stanford.edu/facultybios/biomain.asp?id=09772203 Deborah Gruenfeld] , [http://www.uoregon.edu/~harrow/ Holly Arrow] , [http://public.tepper.cmu.edu/facultydirectory/FacultyDirectoryProfile.aspx?id=38 Linda Argote] , [http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/faculty/profiles/oconnor/ Kathleen O'Connor] , [http://www.missouriwestern.edu/Psychology/faculty.html Kelly Henry] , [http://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/facBios/viewFac.asp?facultyID=jberdahl Jennifer Berdahl] , [http://vault.hanover.edu/~altermattw/ William Altermatt] , and [http://www2.unine.ch/ipto/page3977.html Franziska Tschan] . McGrath was unusually generous with his time and collaborations with students, who enjoyed not only his extensive knowledge of the field and incisive intellect but the way in which he respected them as equals and encouraged their own interests and ideas.
