Then the old woman said, 'Ruthie, I have a cake and some cookies baking in the oven. They may be almost done. I am getting old and feeble. It hurts me to bend over. Would you kindly open the oven door, lean in, and see if the cake and cookies are done?" Ruthie opened the oven door and stuck her head way inside while the woman stood behind her peering over her shoulder. Grandpa was so frightened that he closed his eyes and covered them with his hands. He could not bear to watch. When six-year old Ruthie, embarked on an adventure with her grandfather, she got more than she bargained for. Her grandfather, magically transformed into a six-year old, is as stodgy as an old man. Ruthie leads him into situations that seem familiar (like the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and Hansel and Gretel). But the familiar characters turn out to be much more interesting than they appear in this wonderful world where thing are not always what they seem to be. Along the way, both Ruthie and the little boy named Grandpa learn some valuable lessons about trust and prejudice.

Elliot Aronson is among the 100 most influential psychologists of the 20th Century. He is best known for his theorizing and research on cognitive dissonance theory -- one of the most provocative and enduring theories in contemporary psychology -- and for his design of the "jigsaw classroom," an applied method of reducing conflict and prejudice in multiethnic schools. Throughout his illustrious career, he has championed the application of social-psychological theory and methods for solving such pressing social problems as prejudice, energy efficiency, conflict and miscommunication in relationships, and the reasons why many people justify their mistakes rather than learn from them. Aronson is the only psychologist in the history of the American Psychological Association to have won all three of its top awards: for research, teaching, and writing. In this Festschrift, friends, colleagues, and former students write with warmth, clarity, and humor about Aronson’s enduring influence on the field of social psychology and on their own professional lives as researchers, writers, and teachers. Topics covered include contemporary research on cognitive dissonance theory; the changing face of experimentation in social psychology; and applied research on energy policy, education, the legal system, intergroup conflict, and prejudice and discrimination.
