The Nobel Prizes are not awarded for the field of psychology specifically because Alfred Nobel's will specified specific categories for the prizes, and psychology was not included. However, advancements in psychological research and contributions to societal well-being are recognized in other prestigious awards.
The first psychologist to win the Nobel Prize was Daniel Kahneman in 2002 for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making.
It depends on how one defines "psychologist." In any case, the answer is "very few," as there is no prize awarded in the field of psychology. If "psychologist" means a professor of psychology with a degree in psychology, then only one: Daniel Kahneman. His collaborator and co-recipient, Amos Tversky, was not alive to accept the prize, which was awarded in the field of economics.* Roger Sperry was a psychologist, but held his professorship in psychobiology. That would make two-his being awarded in the field of medicine. If the definition would include someone with a degree in political science who later became a professor of psychology, then three, counting Herbert Simon, who won his prize in the field of economics.* Ivan Pavlov, the physiologist whose influential work on classical conditioning has earned him a rank among the top 20th century "psychologists" (as rated by professional psychologists, citations, and references in Introductory Psychology textbooks), also won the prize in the field of physiology. If counted, that would make four. --- *: The answer also depends on how one defines "Nobel prize;" most, but not all, consider the prize in economics a true Nobel. A separate though related organization developed and began awarding the prize 68 years after the first prizes were put in place. Per Wikipedia: "The Prize in Economics is not one of the original Nobel Prizes created by Alfred Nobel's will. … Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economics derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy." Even a recipient of the award, Friedrich Hayek, argued against considering the honor as equivalent to the other Nobels: "The Nobel Prize confers on an individual an authority which in economics no man ought to possess. … This does not matter in the natural sciences. Here the influence exercised by an individual is chiefly an influence on his fellow experts; and they will soon cut him down to size if he exceeds his competence. But the influence of the economist that mainly matters is an influence over laymen: politicians, journalists, civil servants and the public generally."
The most common doctoral degree awarded in the field of psychology is the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree.
Roger Sperry was associated with the fields of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. He was known for his research on split-brain studies, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981.
Ah, awards and honors are like happy little trees in the forest of life, my friend. Sigmund Freud received many accolades during his career, including being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1936. While he did not win, his contributions to the field of psychology are widely recognized and appreciated, much like the beauty we can find in every brushstroke on the canvas of life.
