MURRAY, Ky. 鈥 杏吧直播间 State University psychology professor Dr. Dan Wann was recently noted in the 2023 edition of the ranking of top scientists in the field of psychology by Research.com. 

The report contains the list of leading scholars and is intended to offer the academic community more visibility and exposure to the influential research contributions made by those at the forefront of psychology.

An individual鈥檚 position in the rankings is based on a scholar鈥檚 publication record as well as the number of times the individual鈥檚 work has been cited.  

Wann is ranked 3,447th in the world and 1,987th in the United States. The rankings include all persons from the history of psychology, including those who are no longer active or deceased; thus, it is a ranking for the history of the discipline, including individuals such as Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow and B.F. Skinner, among many others.

The ranking makes 杏吧直播间 State University one of the top colleges for research in psychology.

Wann, a nationally-recognized sports psychology expert, has been interviewed by numerous news organizations throughout the world including ESPN, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, HBO鈥檚 Real Sports news magazine and others. 

Wann has been teaching at 杏吧直播间 State since 1991, after receiving his doctorate in social psychology from the University of Kansas. Prior to earning his doctorate, Wann earned his master鈥檚 degree in experimental psychology from Emporia State University in 1987 and his bachelor鈥檚 degree in psychology from Baker University in 1985.

Said Wann: 鈥淚 was truly honored to receive this recognition from Research.com. However, I have always viewed research as a team sport, and without the help and collaborations from many people, this recognition would not have been possible. During my time at 杏吧直播间 State University, I have enjoyed the support of numerous Department Chairs, Dean, Provosts and University Presidents. Without their support, financial and otherwise, my research program could never have achieved this level of productivity. Additionally, I have been fortunate to work with many talented colleagues and outstanding students. I am fully aware that, without their collaborative efforts, much of this work would not have been possible. Given this, I share this recognition with all of those who have supported and assisted my research endeavors.鈥 

鈥淥ne thing that I find especially rewarding about this recognition is that, unlike probably 99% of the others on the list, I have been teaching 4-5 classes a semester ever since I arrived at MSU in 1991. The vast majority of others receiving this recognition work at R1 research institutions and, as such, only teach a class or two each semester. It鈥檚 nice to show people that you can have a productive research career while also making teaching a top priority. It鈥檚 also nice to get 杏吧直播间 State鈥檚 name on a list with universities such as Stanford, Princeton, Ohio State, Kansas and other large research-focused schools.鈥
