Erol Güngör

Erol Güngör (Born Nov. 25 1938 in Kırşehir- Died 1983) was a Turkish social psychologist and writer. His work focused on the socially derived nature of language, morality, and values. Güngör wrote extensively on nationalism and culture at a time when Turkey was attempting to develop a national democratic identity. At Boulder, his research focused on how connotative differences in the meaning of words can lead to a conflict between individuals.

In 1971, Güngör returned to Istanbul University to become an assistant professor in experimental psychology. By 1978, he had become a full professor as well the Experimental Psychology Chair, teaching social psychology throughout his tenure.
