I was born in Czechoslovakia and came to the UK in 1967 as a post-doctoral visitor to the Psychological Laboratory, University of Cambridge; then I was a research fellow at the Industrial Research Training Unit of the University of London. In 1970 I moved to the University of Stirling. I have been a visiting professor at various universities in the UK and abroad. Currently I am a visiting professor at the Institute of Social Psychology, London School of Economics and an international fellow of the Open Society Institute at the University of Moldova.
