Presents an obituary for Harry C. Triandis (1926 -2019). Harry Charalambos Triandis, universally acknowledged as the father of cross-cultural social psychology as well as a leader of industrial/organizational and attitude research, passed away at his retirement home in Carlsbad, California, on June 1, 2019, in his 93rd year. Harry's academic career began in Montreal, Canada, where he enrolled in the Engineering Program at McGill University. Triandis received his master's degree in commerce from the University of Toronto, and then earned his doctorate in social psychology from Cornell University. He then joined the faculty at the University of Illinois where he remained until retirement in 1997. Early on, Harry realized that cross-cultural research had to employ different methods if the results were to be valid. Valid cross-cultural research, he reasoned, required the involvement of colleagues from the cultures being studied at every step in the process, including instrument design, hypothesis specification and analyses, joint publication, and so on. Thanks to Harry's untiring efforts to demonstrate their effectiveness, they have become standard procedure in cultural research. Harry was a prolific author, publishing over 200 papers, book chapters, and books. His work has been translated into Chinese, Farsi, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish and spans 60 years (1955-2015). Harry also pursued three other major funded programs of research. The first led to the publication in 1976. In his second program of research, he examined differences between Hispanic and Anglo culture in the context of social concerns about integrating the Hispanic community in the 1980s. His last research program culminated in his book on self-deception that was published in 2009. Harry received numerous accolades and awards for his contributions to cross-cultural and social psychology, some including Award for Distinguished Contributions to International Psychology (1994) and the Otto Klineberg Award from the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues to name a few. Harry served as president of six associations or societies of psychology, and his colleagues and students unanimously endorse his status as a world class scholar, but also a world class human being who will be deeply missed in the field of psychology.

敬献哈里·C·特里安德斯（1926 - 2019）的讣告。哈里·查拉兰博斯·特里安德斯，被公认为跨文化社会心理学之父，同时也是工业/组织心理学和态度研究领域的领军人物，于2019年6月1日在加利福尼亚州卡尔斯巴德的退休之家与世长辞，享年93岁。哈里的学术生涯始于加拿大蒙特利尔，他在麦吉尔大学攻读工程专业。特里安德斯在多伦多大学获得商学硕士学位，随后在康奈尔大学获得社会心理学博士学位。之后他加入伊利诺伊大学教职，直至1997年退休。早期，哈里意识到如果要使跨文化研究结果有效，就必须采用不同的方法。他认为，有效的跨文化研究在整个过程的每一步，包括工具设计、假设设定与分析、联合发表等等，都需要所研究文化背景的同事参与其中。多亏了哈里为证明这些方法的有效性所做的不懈努力，它们已成为文化研究的标准程序。哈里是一位多产的作者，发表了200多篇论文、书籍章节和著作。他的作品已被翻译成中文、波斯语、德语、日语、俄语和西班牙语，时间跨度长达60年（1955 - 2015）。哈里还开展了其他三项主要的资助研究项目。第一个项目成果于1976年发表。在他的第二个研究项目中，他在20世纪80年代社会关注西班牙裔社区融入的背景下，研究了西班牙裔文化与盎格鲁文化之间的差异。他的最后一个研究项目最终促成了他2009年出版的关于自我欺骗的书籍。哈里因其对跨文化和社会心理学的贡献获得了众多赞誉和奖项，其中包括国际心理学杰出贡献奖（1994年）以及社会问题心理研究协会颁发的奥托·克莱因伯格奖等等。哈里曾担任六个心理学协会或学会的主席，他的同事和学生一致认可他作为世界级学者的地位，同时也认可他是一位世界级的人物，心理学领域将深切怀念他。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
