HISTORY 



Ernest Dichter, one of the pioneers in consumer motivational research, was born in 

Vienna on August 14, 1907, the oldest of three children of William and Mathilde Dichter, 

a family of Polish and Sudeten-German immigrants. His father was a traveling salesman 

of textiles and sewing accessories. Dichter later wrote that he “never really had a 

psychological father” and of being “ashamed” of him by age nine or ten. However, as the 

oldest son, Dichter enjoyed a special status within the family and was obliged to assume 

the breadwinner role as his father’s business and health failed. Ernest Dichter had red 

hair and blue eyes which made him stand out among Jews but not Gentiles, and the 

family was at best only moderately observant. The Dichters were downwardly mobile 

and were barely affected by the glittering high culture of pre-World War I Vienna. 

During and immediately after World War I, the family was severely impoverished as 

William Dichter was first drawn into the army and then often unable to earn 

commissions. Ernest Dichter would always recall the poverty and starvation of his 

formative years and credit it with sharpening his awareness of the pleasures and comforts 

to be had in even the most basic and essential material goods. 

In his own words, Ernest Dichter “concentrated on earning money” from the age of 

fourteen. He began by picking wild mushrooms and berries in the countryside, which he 

sold to grocery stores. By 1924, he was forced to drop out of school for lack of money 

and secured a position in an uncle’s department store as a clerk and window decorator. 

Although he remained poor, Dichter was able attend the University of Vienna where he 

studied German literature from 1927 to 1929, thanks to a new law that permitted working 

students to take classes on nights and weekends. In the latter year, he fled to Paris to 

escape family pressures and enrolled at the Sorbonne, where he continued his literary 

studies. Here a woman fellow-student, a refugee from the Russian Revolution with 

whom he had a relationship, turned his interests away from literature towards socialism 

and psychology. 

Because of the Depression, Dichter was forced to return to Vienna in 1930, where he 

resumed his studies at the University, supporting himself as a tutor and window dresser. 

He now pursued a doctorate in psychology. His most important mentors were Karl 

Bühler (1879-1963) and Charlotte Bühler (1893-1974), who taught an anti-Freudian, 

empirical and developmental psychology and a motivation-based theory of personality. 

Dichter himself later credited the analytical philosopher Moritz Schlick (1882-1936), 

under whom he studied epistemology and logic, as having the greater influence and 

giving him the intellectual tools most essential to his later work. However, it was his 

statistics teacher, Paul Felix Lazarsfeld (1901-1976), who would later provide the entry to 

his American career.

HISTORY (cont’d) 



Dichter also studied the art and psychology of public speaking in a class taught by Esti 

Freud, the daughter-in-law of Sigmund Freud. 

In 1934, Dichter received his Ph.D., and his father died. In the following year, Dichter 

married Hedy Langfelder, a concert pianist, the three events together marking his entrance 

into the professional class and into adult family life. He worked with developing infants, 

mentally ill children, offered vocational guidance to adults, and authored a popular 

syndicated column on practical psychology. He also conducted a private psychoanalytical 

practice and studied with Wilhelm Stekel (1868-1940) and August Aichhorn (1878- 

1949), both of whom practiced a more clinical and empirical form of psychoanalysis than 

Freud. During 1936-37, he also worked at the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Mitarbeiter des 

Ősterreichischen Wirtschaftspsychologischen Forschungsstelle (Employees Association 

of the Austrian Economic Psychology Research Center) where Lazarsfeld, who had 

emigrated to America in 1933, had developed innovative market research that employed 

psychological depth interviews. 

However, Dichter claimed to have been unaware that the Center was a haven for 

socialist dissidents and what the new right-wing government of Austria considered 

subversive activities, and he found himself arrested and held for interrogation without 

warning. Early in 1937, at the same time as the Center was formally shuttered, Dichter 

and his wife fled to Paris, where he was forced to work at his father’s old trade of 

commission salesman, a setback, but one that forced him to hone his ability to deliver a 

successful sales pitch and drove home the fact that the product generally does not sell 

itself. 

Dichter was one of those fortunate refugees from Nazism who accurately gauged the 

threat Hitler posed to all of Western Europe and escaped in time. He secured a visa to the 

United States in the spring of 1938 by, as he claimed, personally convincing the 

American Vice Consul in Paris of the value of his skills to the U.S. consumer economy. 

The Dichters arrived in New York with only $100 between them in September. 

However, with a recommendation from Lazarsfeld, who had established himself in the 

U.S. in 1933 and was busily developing and refining many of the techniques that Dichter 

himself would later employ, Dichter secured a position with a market research firm 

within three days and settled into the refugee community in New York City. Unlike many 

refugee intellectuals and professionals, however, he sought professional help to replace 

his Viennese accent with an American one. 

2




Within a short time, Dichter began to solicit short-term consulting jobs, the first with 

Esquire magazine, then for Procter & Gamble’s Ivory soap, and then for Chrysler’s new 

Plymouth line of low-priced cars, all incidentally, products that had a high psycho-sexual 

or erotic component to their consumer appeal. Within eighteen months of his arrival, 

Dichter had been noticed by Time magazine, and these first successes led to the post of 

director of psychological research with the influential advertising agency J. Stirling 

Getchell, Inc. After Getchell died, Dichter accepted an offer from Frank Stanton of the 

Columbia Broadcasting System, where Lazarsfeld was doing pioneering work on 

audience response. Stanton, Lazarsfeld, and their teams aired programs for test audiences 

and used a Program Analyzer to accurately measure fluctuating listener attention, thereby 

discovering what parts of the program people liked most. Where Lazarsfeld’s research 

was both rigorously quantitative and qualitative, Dichter’s approach was almost entirely 

qualitative. Where Lazarsfeld favored collaboration and team effort, Dichter worked on 

the basis of personal insight and in the role of an individual expert. 

Naturally independent and entrepreneurial, Dichter chafed under the working 

conditions within a large organization like CBS, and in 1946 established his own 

consulting firm, which he incorporated as the Institute for Research in Mass Motivations 

in 1952. He was soon commanding fees of $500 a day. He moved his office from New 

York to a small farm in Montrose in 1953, and about a year later, to a 26-room mansion 

on a hill top overlooking the river in Croton-on-Hudson about thirty miles north of 

Manhattan. It 1955, it was restyled the Institute for Motivational Research, Inc., and it 

was under this title that the Dichter organization was at its most productive. 

The 1950s were the heyday of the type of motivational research that Dichter practiced. 

Whether Dichter originated M.R. or was merely its most important and aggressive 

practitioner is still debated. He clearly benefited from his place in the New York market 

and from his forceful, charismatic personality. Dichter was capable of using a barrage of 

controversial, speculative and Freudian assertions (a watered-down Freudianism was 

everywhere permeating contemporary American culture) and a talent for what would later 

become known as “thinking outside the box” to command the attention of manufacturers 

and their advertising agencies. 

Dichter followed a consistent operating procedure for most of his career. He came to 

employ a staff of as many as sixty or seventy people, about a third of which were social 

scientists, along with a pool of as many as 2,000 part-time interviewers scattered around 

the country who worked with carefully constructed groups of test subjects drawn from the 

target population. Dichter also maintained a smaller and more permanent pool of 

3




families from the New York-Westchester County area from whom he could select test 

subjects for more intensive study at his offices. 

Dichter usually began with a mailed proposal calling attention to some supposed 

problem faced by a prospective client and describing his own past successes. A 

substantial number failed to elicit a response. When one did, Dichter attended an initial 

meeting to deliver his well-honed pitch like any other salesman. If successful, either the 

manufacturer, its advertising agency, or both, would pay $20,000-60,000 for a fullfledged 

study whose end product might run to hundreds of pages. Dichter’s staff would 

assemble an appropriate sample of test subjects and use them to investigate Dichter’s 

hypotheses and assertions. With some companies, Dichter was able to secure follow-up 

studies and establish a long-term working relationship. He is perhaps best known for the 

groundwork that lead to the “put a tiger in your tank” slogan for Exxon Corporation and 

the “bet you can’t eat just one” advertising campaign of Frito-Lay, as well as facilitating 

the successful introduction of the Barbie doll. 

Dichter used a wide variety of methods, including standard personality assessment and 

perception tests, anthropological observations, and psychodrama. Test subjects and 

families assembled in Dichter’s “Living Laboratory,” a facsimile of an ordinary suburban 

family room, where they watched television commercials or interacted with actual 

products, while tape recorders rolled and hidden cameras captured changes in body 

language. However, the core of Dichter’s approach was the use of the in-depth interview. 

He and his staff used the whole battery of psychiatric techniques to elicit self-exploration 

and candid responses from his subjects that teased out their unconscious (often 

sexualized) motivations and emotional engagements with the whole range of consumer 

goods, with commercials and advertisements, and, when occasionally promoting service 

agencies or political candidates, with other aspects of daily life. Dichter claimed not only 

to reveal the consumers innermost secrets and taboos, but also the “soul of the product,” 

the deeper meanings and taboos surrounding it. 

Dichter’s own motivations were rather complex, befitting his personal history. As 

someone who had experienced privation, he understood how material goods contributed 

to physical and psychological well-being and brought some measure of satisfaction and 

fulfillment even to the relatively poor. He wrote paeans to the simple and deep delights 

offered by bathing or eating soup or feeling the textures of different types of cloth. He 

had witnessed the growth of the middle classes through increasing income and leisure 

time and realized that the newly-prosperous and upwardly mobile American relied on 

advertising and other mass media rather than tradition for cues to appropriate behavior 

4




and possessions. He also saw how material abundance complicated the age-old issue of 

status markers, allowing for all sorts of associations and “personal statements” between 

the old dichotomy of excess for the rich few and meagerness for everyone else. Hence, 

for Dichter, consumption, properly channeled, became a form of therapy and selfrealization. 

Goods chosen to meet one’s inner needs and social responsibilities 

represented an advance over items chosen simply as external status markers to assert 

one’s superiority. Mass communication, again properly channeled and explained, became 

the structural framework of democratic society. Products designed and sold in line with 

people’s deepest, albeit irrational, internal needs would constitute realistic and realizable 

small steps towards a better life, if not the Good Life. Such steps, Dichter believed, 

would allay the kind of mass public anxieties that had been exploited by Hitler and other 

totalitarians of left and right. 

At the same time, Dichter seems to have had a sense of mission to bring a more open, 

Continental sexuality to repressed, puritanical America and to make American society 

more open to immigrants and outsiders. In this, he was largely riding on underlying 

tectonic shifts that had been going on for years and that had accelerated during the social 

disruptions of World War II. On the other hand, he seems to have believed that American 

politics, and for that matter advertising, had gone too far in the direction of the real 

equality of the sexes. Dichter was a believer in gender complementarity, not equality, 

which implied the existence of subconscious gendered consumer preferences that 

advertisers ignored at their peril. In an early study he expatiated on “the gender of rice,” 

rice being by culture, if not by nature, “feminine,” while potatoes, say, were perceived as 

“masculine.” A corollary was that advertisers must avoid sexual ambiguity or confusion 

in their ads, pitching a “masculine” product in a “feminine” way or vice versa, and 

especially avoiding the suggestion that a product was, in today’s parlance, “too gay,” an 

issue that was, in contrast to the frankness about bodily functions, usually approached 

obliquely in the 1950s and 60s. 

Even at his peak, Dichter had opponents. Some maintained that his work was 

insufficiently quantitative and was therefore “unscientific,” and in fact, Dichter seems to 

have been forced to include more quantitative analysis later on simply to keep up with 

disciplinary trends. Others thought Dichter was little more that a gifted advertising 

copywriter who simply wrapped his creative insights in psychological garb, or a pitchman 

who could appeal over the heads of experts to bosses who found his presentation of 

simple truisms psychologically profound. 

5




A more comprehensive attack was launched by Vance Packard in his 1957 book The 

Hidden Persuaders, who arraigned Dichter as “the most famed” practitioner of 

techniques that promoted mass consumption and self-indulgence and manipulated 

consumers into buying things they never wanted or needed. Ironically, Packard’s attack 

served as the perfect endorsement for potential clients, increasing Dichter’s business and 

his stature. Dichter himself responded with a presentation of his own views in Strategy of 

Desire in 1960. Whatever one thinks of Dichter’s own beliefs, his report interviews 

show his consumer subjects to be critical and skeptical, often brutally so, and capable of 

distinguishing what worked for them from advertising hype. 

The attack by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique in 1963 was less easily 

deflected. Dichter’s quasi-Freudian psychology, adherence to the notion of separate 

spheres, and personal view of women as male help-meets could not be reconciled with 

any version of feminism. Dichter had long divided female consumers into three classes. 

The “career woman,” even if lacking an actual career, might dream of one and felt bored 

and frustrated by housework. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the “pure housewife” 

reveled in traditional domestic duties. As a result, neither was likely to be a receptive 

consumer of household goods, the first being indifferent and the second committed to the 

doctrine of “do it yourself.” Dichter favored (or perhaps created) the happy medium of 

the “balanced woman,” who enjoyed housekeeping, yet engaged in or at least thought 

about some activities outside the domestic circle. The “balanced woman” was the perfect 

mark for advertisers, because they could entice her to try some supposedly labor-saving 

product that would allegedly increase her free time, while at the same time playing on her 

guilt at not being a more dedicated homemaker and her desire to meld domesticity and 

creativity. So in a famous study for General Mills, Dichter advised them to remove the 

powdered eggs and milk from Bisquick, a biscuit or cake mix which needed only water, 

on the grounds that it eliminated the last bit of creativity in cooking. The “balanced 

woman” could be won over by being made an active (but not too active) participant 

through adding the real eggs and milk herself. 

On the crest of his American successes, Dichter took his approach back to Europe. 

Here he encountered varying blends of resistance and acceptance depending upon a given 

country’s general stance on the larger issues of “Americanization.” Where cultural 

resistance was highest, in Paris (1958) and Rome (1959), Dichter’s branch offices were 

small and short-lived, although he continued to do some work for French clients out of 

New York. 

6




In Britain, Dichter encountered a society numbed by nearly three decades of 

Depression privation and war rationing, where American abundance still generated mixed 

reactions of awe and resentment. Traditional British society was hostile to Dichter at a 

number of levels. Britain’s long traditions of empiricism and analytical philosophy 

ensured that academics and scientists rejected Dichter’s qualitative methods and watereddown 

Freudianism out of hand. Its deeply-ingrained class system and notions of class 

solidarity that stifled anything that smacked of “putting on airs” or grabbing more than 

one’s share seemed to offer only barren ground for Dichter’s ideas of optimism and 

mobility. Dichter thought the British even more puritanical than the Americans, yet 

within a few years after Dichter opened his London office in 1958, Britain’s younger 

generation was developing its own brands of hedonism and fashion-sense and exporting 

them to the rest of the world. Even Dichter’s “balanced woman” was a step forward in 

the British case, as a 1965 study of women’s sexuality for Nova, a new women’s 

magazine, showed. 

In the end, however, Dichter’s most reliable British clients were vendors of cigarettes 

and chocolates. For whatever cultural reasons, Dichter continued to find a more receptive 

audience in the German-speaking Europe from which he had come. The branch offices in 

Zurich, his main European base (1968), and Frankfurt (1970) generated an increasing 

share of Dichter’s business, and in fact survived him. Dichter developed some of his 

strongest relationships with German and Swiss firms. 

By the 1960s, a resurgent feminism was but one of Dichter’s problems. The early 

success stories could not be repeated indefinitely. Dichter’s multi-volume reports could 

be little more than a post-mortem for the Edsel. Often as not, Dichter was called in as 

part of a usually unsuccessful drive to revive flagging sales of products that were losing 

their appeal or regional brands that eventually would succumb to competition from 

national chains. The academic study of consumer behavior was moving into business 

schools and becoming more quantitative and theoretical. Advertising thrived on novelty, 

and Freudianism was becoming old. Newer advertising agencies increasingly relied on 

humor and irony, and it became clear that if people could remember the style of your ad, 

your jingle, catchphrase or mascot for whatever reason, you didn’t have to punch their 

Freudian subconscious buttons. 

Beginning in the early 1960s, Dichter began responding to these challenges more by 

changing the scope of his work than by altering his own ideologies. He solicited more 

work from non-profits, governments and political candidates, shifted the emphasis from 

the product to the effectiveness of the packaging, and used his motivational techniques to 

7




suggest ways to improve the morale of employees, particularly local managers, 

salespeople, dealers, and commission agents. He added more appendices with graphs to 

make his work more quantitative. 

These unfavorable trends accelerated in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dichter had 

long preached against American Puritanism, but when the barriers began collapsing, it is 

likely that he was not as pleased with the result as he might have once thought. The baby 

boomer kids who had sat sullen or fidgety in his “Living Laboratory” while he poked and 

prodded their psyches in the 1950s were now vowing not to trust anyone over thirty. 

While many vendors quickly figured out ways to cultivate the Youth Market, Dichter was 

now not merely over thirty, he was over sixty. While he could observe the 

Counterculture from outside as a social scientist and profess to see some of his own ideas 

and ideals there, to the hippie generation he could only be a parent and not a prophet. His 

work on the “peacock revolution” in men’s dress, however perceptive, was used by 

DuPont to market the garish polyester fabrics and clothing that have since become a 

cliché of the 1970s. 

To someone who had promised to ameliorate societal anxieties and psychological 

discontents in the pursuit of greater harmony and personal growth, the era’s sometimes 

violent confrontations over stark racial, generational, class, gender, and lifestyle divides 

was genuinely disturbing. By his own accounts, Dichter saw the polarizations of the late 

1960s as a replay of what had happened in Germany in the early 1930s. Spiro Agnewstyle 

conservatism, in particular, seemed to him to presage a second coming of the Brown 

Shirts. As in the 1930s, Dichter seriously considered whether it might be time to escape 

by emigrating before it was too late. Matters came to a head in 1970, when Dichter 

suffered a heart attack during a confrontational speaking encounter with a Black militant. 

Nonetheless, with typical optimism, he used his forced recuperation to make suggestions 

for improving amenities for patients in hospitals. 

This physical setback further prompted Dichter to rearrange his affairs. In March 

1971, he sold his companies to Lehigh Valley Industries, Inc., a minor industrial 

conglomerate that had begun life as an anthracite coal company, but they jettisoned the 

business as unprofitable in 1973, keeping only a subsidiary that promoted coupon sales. 

Dichter repurchased the rest. His firms went through several changes of name, although 

it is unclear if these were merely cosmetic or represented attempts to recapitalize or 

reorganize. 

8




At the same time, of course, the cataclysms that Dichter had feared did not happen, 

and as the 1970s turned into the “me decade,” he enjoyed a new popularity in a cultural 

landscape teeming with rival gurus and self-help artists. As he gradually lost favor with 

many American mass marketers, he gained greater exposure as a pop psychologist. He 

ran seminars, wrote personality tests for popular magazines such as Cosmopolitan, and 

gave interviews (and a temporary sheen of respectability) to Penthouse and the 

supermarket tabloids. On the more serious side, Dichter developed an interest in 

futurology and a relationship with the nearby Hudson Institute founded by Herman Kahn. 

He also taught courses in marketing at Mercy College, originally a Catholic junior college 

in Dobbs Ferry that was vigorously transforming itself into an institution for adult 

students and continuing education. 

By now, Dichter was at the normal age for retirement. He had tried to hand down his 

businesses to his only son, Thomas W. Dichter, making him the titular president of the 

Institute for a time in the 1970s, but he opted for an independent career as an 

anthropologist and expert on Third World development. Although Ernest Dichter 

continued working, age and the economic dislocations of the early 1980s forced him to 

curtail his activities. He sold the Croton-on-Hudson “Castle” at the end of 1981 and 

moved to more economical quarters in nearby Cortlandt Manor. The successful offices in 

Zurich and Frankfurt were sold to their local staffs who retained the Dichter name, and 

the London operation had already been sold to William Schlackman, a former employee 

who was becoming Britain’s leading market researcher. 

Dichter turned more and more to writing, obtained a faculty position at Nova 

University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and sought to convert his business into an 

academic institute, housed either in Florida or Israel. He took commissions from strange 

bedfellows, including Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network, for whom he 

analyzed viewer reactions to American television re-runs beamed into northern Israel and 

occupied southern Lebanon. With much of his written output now divorced from selling 

particular products, Dichter proved able to re-run or syndicate his own message to new 

audiences. As late as 1989 he was hired to conduct the first consumer motivation studies 

in the Soviet Union. 

Dichter disseminated his ideas in seventeen books published over his lifetime, as well 

as in his Institute’s newsletters and in countless speeches and public appearances. His 

major published works include: The Psychology of Everyday Living (1947), The Strategy 

of Desire (1960, The Handbook of Consumer Motivations: The Psychology of the World 

of Objects (1964), Motivating Human Behavior (1971), The Naked Manager (1974), 

9




Packaging: The Sixth Sense? (1975), Total Self-Knowledge (1976), Getting Motivated 

(1979), and How Hot a Manager Are You? (1987). Attempts to explain his work to his 

oldest grandson Sasha resulted in a series of Sacha books on psychological concepts for 

children published in Paris in the mid-1970s. 

Ernest Dichter died of heart failure in the Hudson Valley Hospital Center near 

Peekskill, N.Y., on November 21, 1991. His work is perpetuated by Dichter Research 

AG, successor to the old Zurich office, and the Ernest Dichter Institut. Motiv-, 

Marketing- Kommunikationsforschung GmbH & Co. KG in Frankfurt. At the beginning 

of the twenty-first century, Dichter’s work has been rediscovered by a new generation of 

historians of consumer culture. 

Although Dichter saw himself as first and foremost a psychologist, a balanced account 

of his life must concede some points to his critics. It would appear, perhaps reflecting his 

earlier devotion to literary studies, that, whatever his other gifts Dichter was also a 

sometimes-brilliant artist whose medium was the symbolic element of advertising and 

whose methods had a large intuitive component. That is, Dichter used his training in 

psychology and logic, his personal experiences, and those of his subjects to craft 

explanatory narratives that were highly plausible if not always completely convincing. 

There is an anecdote that Nestlé finally balked at hiring him, saying in effect, that since 

the premises and conclusions of his reports were the same, it made no sense to pay for 

what was in the middle. 

Of course, there was nothing really new here. Seers, poets, artists, and their kin have 

been coining intuitive readings of situations into pithy images and phrases since the dawn 

of human history, and traders, merchants and manufacturers have depended upon intuitive 

readings of their customers’ emotional needs and have tried to turn luxuries into 

necessities ever since commerce began. From that perspective, Dichter did not so much 

venture into unexplored territory as develop a style, a distinctive voice in a long-running 

conversation. It is perhaps appropriate that automatic Internet translation software 

renders the name of his German successor literally as “Ernest Poets Institute.” 

Dichter’s wish to be taken seriously as a social philosopher will always be 

compromised by his participation in commerce, but perhaps equally so by his deep 

immersion in the messiness of everyday life, both his own and that of his subjects. 

Unlike professional therapists, Dichter made no pretense of curing the psychically 

damaged of their traumas nor of elevating humanity onto some straight and narrow path. 

At the same time, the charges of Vance Packard and other moralizers seem overblown in 

10




that Dichter’s actual effectiveness is not that easy to measure among a host of other 

factors. It is difficult if not impossible to prove that Dichter all by himself successfully 

and knowingly tempted people into activities he knew to be harmful, something he 

himself went to some lengths to deny and disprove. He did, however, use his authority to 

validate some kinds of irrational, emotional and messy behavior, and although he urged 

the channeling of animal appetites for food, sex, security, control, and emotional 

gratification towards moderate and socially benign ends, this in itself is enough to 

condemn him in the eyes of those who for whatever reason have a hard time with 

messiness in general. To use the vocabulary of the clergy he professed to despise, Dichter 

sought to help people live with their sinfulness and acknowledged the futility of trying to 

stamp it out. 

As someone who first directly experienced the baneful effects of a society organized 

around totalizing myths of “blood and soil,” and master race/untermenschen 

polarizations, and later those of unbridled hedonism and “let it all hang out,” Dichter 

remains pertinent as an example, if not a guide, to our continuing “creative discontents.” 

Situated in the murky, ambiguous no-man’s land somewhere between self-denial and 

self-indulgence, privation and excess, the ideal and the material, repression and license, 

asceticism and sensuality, will and appetite, dichotomies that have shaped human thought 

and action for ages, Dichter and his subjects remain contentious, engaging and relevant 

(The above essay draws heavily upon Daniel Horowitz’s “The Birth of a Salesman: 

Ernest Dichter and the Objects of Desire,” which is perhaps the fullest account of 

Dichter’s life and work thus far, and also upon Dichter’s own letters and manuscripts.) 

GENERAL SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE 

Ernest Dichter’s papers were donated to the Hagley Museum and Library by the 

Dichter family. After closing his offices in the Croton-on-Hudson “Castle” in 1982, 

Dichter placed his library of research studies, publications and other writings with Mercy 

College, where he taught marketing. However, when Mercy College sought permission 

in 1990 to microfilm them and have carte blanche to destroy the originals to save space, 

Dichter repossessed them. He was working with a dealer to sell them to another library 

but was unable to make satisfactory arrangements before his final illness. These 

materials, plus Dr. Dichter’s remaining business correspondence and notes, were removed 

11



GENERAL SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE (cont’d) 

to Hagley from Dichter’s last residence and office in Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., in 2007. A 

second large collection of Dichter material, which presumably came from his European 

offices, is now housed at the University of Vienna. This collection contains a very large 

number, but not all, of his research proposals and studies, and while there is substantial 

overlap, a particular item may exist in only one of the collections. A list of the studies at 

Vienna is available. 

The Ernest Dichter Papers have been arranged in six Subgroups, which more or less 

reflect Dr. Dichter’s own arrangement. However, researchers should be aware that Dr. 

Dichter kept multiple copies of his writings and associated materials in several different 

filing systems, including freestanding items on library shelves, papers in loose-leaf 

binders, and several runs of filing cabinets. Versions of the same document may typically 

exist in two or more of the Subgroups, and researchers are advised to check all parts of 

the finding aid. The loose-leaf binders themselves have been destroyed as a conservation 

measure and all materials transferred to file folders and record cartons. In the process, 

obvious duplication, including the many copies of his writings that Dr. Dichter held as 

inventory for sale, has been eliminated. Dichter’s numbering systems and indexes have 

been preserved. 

Subgroup A, which accounts for over half the collection, is comprised of Dr. Dichter’s 

research proposals and studies. As such, it is both the heart of the archive and the most 

important part of Dichter’s prodigious intellectual output, containing not merely the 

fullest expression of his own ideas but also an unparalleled window into consumer 

behavior and attitudes over more than four decades and on five continents. 

Subgroup B, Publications, consists of the formally published newsletters and bulletins 

though which Dr. Dichter disseminated his ideas and presented the activities of himself 

and his Institute. There are also Japanese-language versions of two of his books and four 

of the Sacha children’s books published in France. The rest of Dichter’s books have been 

transferred to the general Imprints collection 

Subgroup C, Speeches, Quizzes & Seminars, consists of the texts of speeches, poppsychology 

personality quizzes, and agendas and notes for seminars, some of which may 

also exist in published form. 

Subgroup D, Publicity, consists primarily of press cuttings and articles issued to 

publicize Dr. Dichter’s activities, including public appearances, pronouncements, or short 

statements to the newspaper press and other mass media. 

12



GENERAL SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE (cont’d) 

Subgroup E, Writings & Drafts, comprises multiple drafts of some of Dichter’s 

principal books and other writings. It also contains what Dichter referred to as his 

“Subject Files,” which are copies of his lesser writings and parts of the studies arranged 

by subject for ready reference. 

Subgroup F, Correspondence, contains Dichter’s business correspondence and other 

materials created or collected in the process of running the Institute and publishing his 

books and newsletters. 

Because Dr. Dichter had such a wide range of clients over the course of his long career 

and maintained an interest is so many different issues, his files contain an equally wide 

range of embedded catalogs and publications, from a paper on counterinsurgency in 

Vietnam to catalogs for Brazilian diamonds and Porsche motorcycles to flyers for 

retirement communities. Many of the catalogs are fine examples of Continental graphic 

design styles of the 1970s, 80s and 90s. To improve access to this material, the most 

significant items have been cataloged individually in Hagley’s online public access 

catalog (OPAC), where they may be retrieved by author, title and subject.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE 



Proposals & Studies 

This series consists of 126 linear feet of proposals and research studies created by 

Ernest Dichter and his staffs between his arrival in the United States in 1938 and 1988. 

They include a few pre-Dichter reports from J. Stirling Gatchell, Inc., the earliest dated 

1937. The studies have been kept just as they were removed from the Dichters’ house in 

2008. Some studies may have been given away or not refiled, so that some important 

studies, such as those on the Plymouth and the “Tiger in your tank” campaign, are now 

missing. Dr. Dichter’s own card index, which cross-referenced the studies by number, 

client and topic, is included. 

The studies are arranged according to Dr. Dichter’s own numerical system which 

assigned numbers to clients in more-or-less chronological order. Preliminary proposals 

generally carry an “A” suffix, while full studies are denoted with higher letters and 

projects for a single client that resulted in successive reports are typically designated 

“12.1,” “12.2,” etc. During the later years, Dichter did not maintain his filing system with 

the same level of accuracy and occasionally filed reports for the same project under 

different numbers or out of chronological sequence. A very high percentage of the 

proposals did not result in commissions. However, the researcher should keep in mind 

that in some cases the proposal remains, while the final report has been removed from the 

files. 

The studies begin with Dichter’s work for J. Stirling Gatchell and the Columbia 

Broadcasting System. The CBS reports employ the Lazarsfeld methods of measuring 

audience response and include analyses of single programs, of daytime soap operas, of 

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s use of radio, and of public service programming, including one 

on anxieties raised by the atomic bomb. The mid-1950s to early 1960s are the high 

summer of Dichter’s independent work. Studies from the London office first appear in 

1958 and run through 1969. Beginning in 1968, German-language studies from the 

Zurich and then Frankfurt offices make up an increasing share of the total. By the early 

1970s, the percentage of the proposals being rejected is increasing, and by the mid-1970s, 

the volume of business is much reduced, and more of what remains deals with non-profits 

and employee motivation. The last surviving report dates from 1988, three years before 

Dichter’s death.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE (cont’d) 

Researchers should be careful to observe the distinction between proposals and 

studies. As noted, a substantial number of the proposals sent out failed to generate a 

response. Together, the proposals are most important as evidence of Dichter’s general 

stock of ideas (which may also be gleaned from his published writings) and the extent of 

his resourcefulness in seeking ways to apply them and sell his services to potential 

clients. 

The studies, on the other hand, offer a rare, if somewhat skewed entry into the minds 

of ordinary consumers in the U.S., Western Europe, and to a lesser extent Canada, 

Mexico and Israel. Unfortunately, Dichter himself destroyed his original raw data, 

including the full records of his depth interviews and the identity of his test subjects. 

Some supporting information survives only for a few of the very last studies. The only 

surviving example of something close to a full set of depth interviews is a series with 

residents of Arizona on their lifestyles and hobbies in 1985, and it does not match any of 

the completed, typed and bound studies. The surviving extracts that Dichter worked into 

his reports are still important and often make fascinating or occasionally outrageous 

reading, but the researcher should always remember that what remains has passed through 

the filter of Dr. Dichter’s own sensibilities. He clearly found the play of a Wednesday 

Addams-like little girl who imagines that her Barbie doll has a baby that soon dies more 

intriguing than less morbid scenarios. 

That said, Dichter was able to elicit rather candid responses from his subjects, in the 

case of the woman who used an interview on home cooking to tear into her nagging 

mother-in-law and her (in her view) spoiled husband, unexpectedly so. Dichter also paid 

more attention to class (as measured both by education and income) and racial/ethnic 

divisions in his research than Daniel Horowitz has implied. To the extent that the nature 

and test market of the product allowed, Dichter would try to include the differing 

responses of minorities, including African Americans, Puerto Ricans, French Canadians 

and the like. He also tried to balance his samples by age and gender, although in the latter 

case, the researcher needs to be ever-mindful of his tendency to classify women into a 

few types based on the polarity of the “new” woman and the traditional homemaker.

A complete list of the proposals and studies has been prepared as an attachment in 

Microsoft Excel. In addition, over 2,400 of the most interesting volumes have been 

cataloged individually in Hagley’s on line public access catalog (OPAC). They can be 

searched by “subject browse” or “keyword” searches for client name, brand name of 

product, type of consumer, or certain abstract categories. A box list can be generated by 

doing a “call number browse” search for “2407 (Box…” “Keyword” searches can be 

used to retrieve individual reports by number. A “keyword search” on “Ernest Dichter 

papers” can be used to retrieve all the reports, which may then be further sorted by date or 

other parameters. A “builder” or Boolean search using “Ernest Dichter” as one of the 

phrases can be used to isolate the reports from a particular office or in specific foreign 

languages.

Publications 

This series consists of 11 linear feet of Dr. Dichter’s newsletters and published 

articles, plus some of his books. Dichter’s principal published works have been 

transferred to the Imprints Department. Of particular note among the books are four of 

the “Sacha” children’s books that Dichter originally wrote for his grandson Sasha and 

then had published in France. 

During his career, Dr. Dichter published four principal serials to disseminate his ideas. 

The most important was Motivations, begun in 1956. This was the period when Dichter 

was near the height of his influence and his ideas were considered new and exciting. 

Through Motivations, Dichter broadcast some of the ideas and results of his private client 

studies. Motivations is an interesting window into American middle class culture in the 

mid-fifties, and contains a number of photographs of domestic life that show the clutter 

and indifference to style that characterized most homes of that period, in contrast to the 

abundant consumer durables and style-consciousness in dress and belongings that lay 

over the horizon. It is not clear exactly when Dichter ceased publishing Motivations, as 

his surviving file copies end in the middle of 1957. However, some later copies placed 

among Dichter’s file of “Reprints,” indicates that publication continued until at least the 

fall of 1958. 

Dichter began publishing his first newsletter on October 13, 1953. In contrast to 

Motivations, his Memo from the Desk of Dr. Ernest Dichter began as a simple typed 

letter. However, it soon moved to offset printing and acquired illustrations. Memo is 

particularly interesting because it is one of the few places in which Dichter described and 

illustrated the practical workings of his Institute and his research methods. It contains 

photos of tests underway and of the staff at work, even showing off their new IBM punch 

card sorter to prove that their operation is up-to-date. Memo also includes Dichter’s 

musings on current events, reports on his latest studies and doings, and the opening of 

branch offices abroad. 

In its last issue in 1964, Memo reverted to a typed format. The following year, Dichter 

replaced it with Findings, an un-illustrated four-page offset newsletter, which he 

continued for nearly the rest of his active career, ending the run in June 1986. As its title 

indicates, Findings mixes information gleaned from the client studies with observations 

on current events against a constant background of Dichter’s main intellectual themes. 

He also used this newsletter to publicize his own movements and speaking engagements, 

but these is little on the Institute’s inner workings as found in Memo. Findings is 

therefore most useful as a record of the evolution or persistence of basic ideas in 

22



Publications 


Dichter’s thought and of his reactions to the sea changes in American social and political 

life over those two decades. Information relating to subscriptions and billings for 

Findings from the 1970s and 80s may be found in the “Files on Publications” series in 

Subgroup F, Correspondence. 

The Human Factor, published between 1976 and 1987 by the Economic Press, Inc., is 

a pocket-sized folder that contains a single, focused homily or recommendation to 

managers on the subject of self-motivation or employee motivation. It reflects the 

growing importance of this sort of work in Dichter’s later career, as opposed to the 

lengthy consumer motivation studies and marketing tips. In 1987, Dichter changed the 

title to Manager/Motivator and probably ceased active involvement. Manager/Motivator 

continued to be issued as “ideas for inspiring people by Dr. Ernest Dichter” well after his 

death, probably by drawing upon or recycling earlier writings. The last known issue is 

No. 614 from 1998. 

The third series of Dr. Dichter’s published writings comprises what he called 

“Reprints.” There were offprints of journal articles or copies and clippings of magazines 

and newspapers. During his practice, Dichter maintained a file of these for sale or 

distribution to clients, of which a maximum of three copies has been retained. Dichter 

published in a very wide variety of venues, from the Harvard Business Review and 

sociological journals, through obscure trade and professional journals, to TV Guide, 

Cosmopolitan, Penthouse, and the National Enquirer. Some articles are derived directly 

from the research studies. The Reprints are arranged according to the original numbers 

assigned to them by Dr. Dichter, although this is not strictly chronological. Some of the 

earliest writings, including an article on commercial psychology that Dichter wrote in 

1937 while still in France, are in the last box of the series. There are several indexes 

created by Dr. Dichter to manage sales of the Reprints, which are placed at the beginning 

of the series. Those individual publications of some length or note have also been 

cataloged as separate items on Hagley’s on line public catalog (OPAC). 

The last series consists of publications that Dr. Dichter collected from a variety of 

outside sources. Most come from his later years and seem to have been collected for 

comparative reference or for potential collaboration and outsourcing of work. 

Presumably, Dichter destroyed similar materials from his earlier years. The most 

interesting pieces are a series of motivational workbooks produced by the Success 

Motivation Institute, Inc., of Waco, Texas, as a step-by-step guide to managerial and 

workplace success and a life planner for the housewife.

Speeches, Quizzes & Seminars 

This Subgroup consists of 10 linear feet of Dr. Dichter’s speeches and other 

presentations. It is divided into three Series: Speeches, Tests & Quizzes, and Seminars. 

Dr. Dichter spent a great deal of time as a public speaker presenting his findings and 

ideas in a wide variety of venues. His first preserved speech dates from October 15, 

1943, when he described his method of depth interviews to a meeting of the Market 

Research Council, but his active career as a public lecturer did not begin until 1951. The 

last preserved speech dates from 1987. Dichter kept a stock of his speech texts for sale or 

distribution and numbered them from 601 to 1156. This order has been preserved. 

The speeches follow the trajectory of Dichter’s career and generally reflect the 

findings and ideas one finds in the motivational studies and published writings of a given 

year. During the 1950s and 1960s, when the Institute was at its height, many of the 

speeches are those of Dichter’s vice presidents and other subordinates, including Ernest 

Angel, Irving Gilman, John Kellogg, John Kishler, Tibor Koves, John Rimberg, and 

William Schlackman. In the later years, a high percentage of the speeches were delivered 

in German before European audiences, although English translations are often provided. 

In many cases the speeches exist in several drafts, sometimes with accompanying letters 

and notes. Dichter recycled many of the same ideas and often entire speeches for 

different audiences at different times. There is also some overlap between the speeches 

and the “Reprints,” which is often noted by Dr. Dichter in the front page margins. 

Even before emigrating, Dr. Dichter had written psychological personality tests and 

quizzes for popular magazines, a practice he continued throughout his career. Many were 

for women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Family Circle and Elle, and Dichter’s 

output logically increased in the “Me Decade” of the 1970s. In the 1980s, Dichter began 

numbering his quizzes as a continuation of his “Speeches” series, using Nos. 1157-1170. 

However, the bulk remained organized alphabetically. The earliest quiz dates from 1944 

and the latest from 1985. 

Dr. Dichter also conducted seminars, especially in the later phases of his career. 

Sometimes, as in the seminars for Expressen, a Swedish newspaper, or the “Teller-Seller” 

seminars for motivating bank tellers, they were part of a larger motivational study. 

Others were offered commercially, and still others as university courses. The “Seminars” 

series is somewhat mixed. For some seminars, there are only publicity materials and 

flyers. 

27





For others, such as Dichter’s standard creativity and motivation seminars and his “Top 

Man Tests” for managers, there are elaborate notes and tests for organizing each session. 

For those that were offered as university courses, such as the seminar given at the 

Polytechnic Institute of New York, there are copies of student papers.

Publicity 

This Subgroup consists of 4.5 linear feet of Dr. Dichter’s press releases and a file of 

articles and clippings which he designated as “Publicity.” There is some overlap with the 

“Reprints” series of publications, but these articles for the most part publicize Dr. 

Dichter, the man and his work, rather than being formal statements of his findings and 

ideas. The two series thus document how Dichter sought to promote himself and his 

thought, and how and how much of himself he revealed to the general public at different 

times. Dichter’s own formal press releases date from the 1940s through 1964. A lone 

survivor from 1975 indicates that he continued this process, but the post-1964 releases 

have been lost. The “Publicity” files are primarily from the 1960s and 1970s, a period in 

which Dichter was obliged to change with the times. A substantial portion of the 

“Publicity” files are in German, with smaller quantities in French and Spanish. The file 

on Russian publications contains a tamed-down English translation of a Soviet 

denunciation of Dichter published in Noyoye Vremya (New Times).

Writings & Drafts 

This series consists of 25 linear feet of Dr. Dichter‟s rough writings and drafts, part of 

which were originally kept in a series of three-ring binders. There is some overlap with 

other series of Dr. Dichter‟s writings. Dichter kept multiple drafts of his various works, 

often with different annotations. He also recycled parts of one work into another and kept 

drafts of each of the stages of evolution of his books, often under different working titles. 

Other drafts were simply fragments without precise title information. As a consequence, 

all of the drafts that could not be identified as obvious exact copies have been preserved 

and arranged alphabetically. The series documents how Dichter refined his presentations 

and how he reused particular insights and illustrative examples in multiple works. 

Of greater interest are Dichter‟s autobiographical writings in English and German. 

There is also a typed diary from the years 1942 to 1944 which provides the only available 

window into Dichter‟s private thoughts during his first years in America, when his career 

was still in flux and he sought to establish himself in New York. 

Dichter‟s “Subject Files” consist of samples of Dichter‟s writings and notes arranged 

by subject rather than chronologically or by project or client. This file presumably 

allowed Dichter and the Institute‟s staff to access quickly all of Dichter‟s more important 

thoughts on a particular topic. Speeches, drafts, and proposals for studies are all doublefiled 

as part of the “Subject Files.” As might be expected, the “Subject Files” cover the 

heyday of the Institute from 1943 to the mid 1970s and contain some of Dichter‟s best 

early writings. The text of a telephone interview with the Wall Street Journal in the 

wake of the Robert Kennedy assassination captures Dichter‟s reactions, not only to the 

assassinations, but also the student upheavals of 1968, and shows him having second 

thoughts about his earlier pronouncements about violence on television. Files from the 

1970s show an early interest in solar energy, both from the purely technical side and in 

visionaries like Paolo Soleri and his Arcosanti community.

Correspondence 

This Subgroup consists of 37 linear feet of Dr. Dichter’s correspondence files. 

Dichter kept his correspondence in several distinct series but seems to have rearranged 

them on several occasions, especially after his last move, when he kept certain files 

upstairs in his office and relegated others to storage. Because the correspondence deals 

extensively with Dichter’s writing and publishing, with soliciting clients for his 

motivational studies and seminars, and with arranging publicizing his activities, there is 

considerable overlap with all the other series of Dr. Dichter’s writings. When the 

Institute was at its peak and Dichter had a number of secretaries, the filing systems were 

more elaborate and precise than they were in his later years after moving out of the 

Castle. Nevertheless, there are considerable inconsistencies in the filing. For example, 

correspondence on the same basic matters may be filed partly under brand or product 

name and partly under company name. Company names may be filed in both direct and 

inverted order, e.g., as S.C. Johnson, Johnson (S.C.) or Johnson’s Wax. Dichter 

continued an active if reduced correspondence until the year before his death. A 

substantial part of Dichter’s correspondence is in his native German. The greater part of 

it is also in thin files, reflecting many short-term transactions. The fewer thick files 

reflect long-term relationships, such as those with professional colleagues and publishing 

houses. Much of Dichter’s work was dependent upon contacts that were both 

professional and personal, and this is reflected in the content of many of the files, which 

may include things like Christmas cards and other personal greetings. However, there are 

no files of purely personal or family correspondence. 

The smallest series is Dichter’s chronological file, covering the years 1976-1983 and 

1985-1990. These are simply carbon copies of outbound letters on a variety of subjects, 

including arrangements with publishers, soliciting speaking engagements, negotiations 

regarding proposals and studies, and some of the more mundane business of running the 

Institute, such as customer complaints, relations with the local authorities, and the like. 

What Dichter called his “Foreign Correspondence” consists of seven linear feet and 

covers the years 1956 to 1990. As might be expected, the bulk of the files date from the 

1970s to the mid-1980s, when Dichter’s foreign work was at its peak. This series 

consists of files that Dichter chose to arrange by country, but letters to foreign clients and 

contacts can be found in the other correspondence series as well. This correspondence 

deals with Dichter’s motivational work for foreign clients, with foreign publishing 

ventures, speaking engagements, and seminars, and foreign travel. The majority of the 

files deal with Austria, Germany and Switzerland, with lesser amounts of material on 

Australasia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain, India, Israel, Italy, 

Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Scandinavia, South Africa, Spain, and Venezuela. The 

“Russia” files deal with Dichter’s late work in that country in 1988-1990. “Blue Book” 

101





was Dichter’s term for lists of contacts and correspondents in a particular country. There 

are a few minor exchanges with foreign dignitaries such as Austrian Chancellor Bruno 

Kreisky and Mayor of Jerusalem Teddy Kollek. 

The “Downstairs Office Files,” 15 linear feet, represent the core of Dichter’s 

correspondence as it was moved from the Castle to the downstairs office in his last home 

at Cortlandt Manor. While the span date of the files runs from a 1937 letter from the 

Viennese psychoanalyst Dr. Wilhelm Stekel (1868-1940) all the way to 1989, the vast 

majority date between 1972 and 1985, the period in which Dr. Dichter had repurchased 

his business from Lehigh Valley Industries, Inc., and still retained a large number of 

American and foreign clients. Regrettably, the presumably equally large volume of 

Dichter’s pre-1972 correspondence has been lost. 

As noted, the largest part of this correspondence deals with Dichter’s clients, that is, it 

supports the research proposals and studies. There are also a much smaller number of 

topical files of materials collected by Dichter on such subjects as Watergate and cultural 

bellwethers like the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, plus “fan mail” from a wide range of 

former students and admirers. The files also document Dr. Dichter’s role as a teacher of 

marketing at Mercy College and Nova University, including course outlines and copies of 

some students’ seminar papers, and his relationship with Herman Kahn and the Hudson 

Institute. Lastly, the files contain some limited information on Dichter’s participation in 

local community affairs. 

The “Upstairs Office Files,” 6.5 linear feet, are the portion of his correspondence that 

Dichter kept in what was, during his last years, his primary work space. Although some 

earlier files, dating back as early as 1965, were brought there for reference, the bulk of 

the material begins in the mid 1980s. In fact, many letters were simply collected in files 

designated “Pending,” reflecting the unfinished nature of things when Dichter was no 

longer able to work. There are also a few letters regarding the settling of some of his 

affairs, and a collection of obituaries. The files basically represent the final parts of 

material contained in other series, including all the other correspondence. They cover 

Dichter’s late work for both foreign and domestic clients, his teaching and lecturing 

positions (including some student papers), and dealings with publishers and journals. 

There are also files relating to Dichter’s attempts to have his work continued by an 

academic institute and to sell his archive, a limited exchange with Daniel Horowitz, who 

was working on a Dichter biography, and post-1980 “fan mail.” Also of note is 

correspondence regarding a program produced by PBS television station WNET Channel 

13 in New York on cultural figures who came to the U.S. to escape the Nazis in the 

1930s, and an official medal bestowed upon Dichter by the Austrian government in 1990. 

102





The “Files on Publications,” 5.5 linear feet, consists primarily of Dichter’s 

correspondence with his publishers regarding book contracts, foreign literary rights, 

assignment of copyright, reviews of Dichter’s books, and similar issues. This series also 

includes some drafts, and most of the material dealing with the Sacha books published by 

Hachette in Paris has been collected here. The oldest item is the script for a 1946 radio 

program, “So You Think You Know People.” This series also includes billings, notes, 

and correspondence covering the production and sale of Dichter’s newsletter Findings 

from 1975 to 1988, which among other things contain evidence of some American firms’ 

abandoning Dichter as they concluded that his insights had become stale. 

“Files on Operations,” 2 linear feet, are a miscellany of items relating to the operations 

of Dichter’s Institute under its several successive names. They include some of Dichter’s 

personal address books and appointment books (1954-1968), applications for 

employment, paste-ups and copies of various Institute brochures, client and contact lists, 

business cards, lists of interviewers and researchers, instructions and forms for 

conducting depth interviews and certain studies, lists of Dichter publications for sale, and 

files on promotional activities. Of particular note are a 1955 Wechsler Adult Intelligence 

(IQ) test marketed by the Psychological Corporation, and trade catalogs for other 

psychological tests and apparatus.
