Diederik Stapel Biography

Diederik Stapel is one of the most popular and richest Psychologist who was born on October 19, 1966 in Oegstgeest, South Holland, Netherlands. Stapel was born on the 19th of October, 1966 at the village of Oegstgeest close to Leiden.

Stapel was awarded the award for career trajectory from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology in 2009, but the award was later retracted. Stapel gave back the Ph.D. title to the University of Amsterdam in November 2011 and stated the fact that “behavior of the past years are inconsistent with the duties associated with the doctorate”.

Our Report “Coping with chaos: How disordered contexts promote stereotyping and discrimination” reported the effects of the physical environment on human stereotyping and discriminatory behavior. On 31 October 2011, the University of Tilburg held a press conference to announce findings of their investigation into possible data fraud on the part of author Stapel. These findings of the university’s interim report included fabrication of data in this Science paper. Therefore, we are retracting the paper, with apologies from author Stapel. Coauthor Lindenberg was in no way involved in the generation of the data, and agrees to the retraction of the paper.

On 31 October 2011, a committee entrusted with investigating “the extent and nature of the breach of scientific integrity committed by Mr D.A. Stapel”, formed by the Rector Magnificus of Tilburg University and chaired by Willem (“Pim”) Levelt, published an interim report regarding Stapel’s activities at the three Dutch universities where he had worked. The interim report pointed to three unidentified young researchers as the whistleblowers for the case, and implies that these whistleblowers spent months making observations of Stapel and his work before they concluded that something actually was wrong.

The interim report noted that it was impossible to determine if Stapel created or altered the data he used for his 1997 dissertation from The University of Amsterdam, because the data was deleted. The university also announced that they would examine whether it was possible to withdraw Stapel’s Ph.D. due to his unacceptable scientific behavior.
