Zoran Bujas
Zoran Bujas (27 December 1910 – 11 January 2004[1]) was a Croatian psychologist.
Bujas was born in Split and spent his childhood in Zadar and Dubrovnik, where he graduated from high school in 1928.[2] He graduated psychology from the University of Zagreb in 1932, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1933.[2] Bujas continued his studies at the University of Paris from 1933 to 1936, taking part in research at the Laboratory for the Psychophysiology of Senses, headed by Henri Piéron.[1][2] From 1938 until his retirement in 1981 he was professor of experimental and physiological psychology at the University of Zagreb.[1][3]
Bujas was a dean of the Faculty of Philosophy in 1955/56 and a rector of the University of Zagreb in 1956/57 and 1957/58.[2][3] In 1968 he became the first and the only psychologist to become a full member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts (now Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts).[2] From 1989 to 1991 he served as a vice-president of the Academy.[1][2] Since 1985, Bujas was also a corresponding member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.[3] He was named professor emeritus of the University of Zagreb in 2000.[3]
His fields of research interest were sensory psychophysiology, psychometrics, and work psychophysiology, particularly methodological problems and approaches in investigation.[1]
Bujas was a pioneer of psychological testing; his "Series Z" test (Croatian: Serija Z), co-authored with Ramiro Bujas in 1937, was the first Croatian intelligence test.[4]
