Clyde A. Hendrick (July 13, 1936 – August 6, 2022) was an American social psychologist, and a Horn Professor of Psychology at Texas Tech University.[1][2][3] Along with his wife, Susan Hendrick, he is known for developing the Love Attitudes Scale,[4][5][6] an instrument commonly used in romantic love research.[7][8]
Career
In 1967, Hendrick received his PhD in psychology from the University of Missouri.[1][2][9]
In the early part of his career, Hendrick worked at a number of universities, including Humboldt State University, Kent State University, and University of Miami.[2] He assumed the role of Dean of the Graduate School at Texas Tech University in 1984.[6]
His research interests included love, close relationships, attitudes, beliefs, communication, language, sexuality, gender, personality, and individual differences.[1][10] A secondary interest of his was the writings of Charles S. Peirce, and areas of philosophy such as the philosophy of science.[1][9]
In 1986, together with his wife, Susan Hendrick, he developed the Love Attitudes Scale (LAS).[4][5][11] Research using the LAS is an extension of the color wheel theory of love invented by John Alan Lee.[11][12] The LAS has since been translated into a dozen languages.[5] The Hendricks were once called "the love doctors" in a Texas Tech Valentine's Day advice column.[13]
He has served as the first editor of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and acting editor for the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.[9]
In 1996, Hendrick was named a Horn Professor by Texas Tech, the highest honor bestowed by the university upon a faculty member.[3][2]
He retired from Texas Tech in 2014.[2]
