Yuichi Shoda (Japanese: 正田佑一[2]) is a Japanese-born psychologist and academic[3] who contributed to the development of the cognitive-affective personality system theory of personality.[1][4]

Biography

Shoda was born and grew up in Japan. He studied physics at Hokkaido University in Sapporo. After attending the University of California, Santa Cruz, he started graduate school in psychology at Stanford, and finished at Columbia University with a PhD degree in psychology in 1990.[1] He joined the University of Washington in 1996.[3]

In 1995 he co-authored with Walter Mischel a paper presenting the "cognitive-affective system theory of personality", stating that people's behavior changes across situations, but behind the change, something important about the person is unchanged. These relatively unchanging qualities include the person's "meaning system", including the categories and concepts through which she or he experiences the social world, and the belief and value networks that guide responses to specific social situations. This could be considered a form of "higher order" stability, analogous to the notion of "higher order" invariants in mathematics. These personal qualities are reflected in the person's "behavioral signature," the set of if (situation) then (behavior) patterns that characterize each person.[4] From 2012 to 2015, Shoda served as an Associate Editor of Social Psychological and Personality Science. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor of Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
